Good ideas glow in the dark by Bruketa&Žinić and Brigada
Posted in: Brigada, Bruketa and Zinić, Dezeen Screen
Croatian designers Bruketa&Žinić have created a book that can only be identified in the dark. Watch the movie on Dezeen Screen »
When the lights are turned off, words glow on the cover and spine of the annual report for investment company Adris.
Copies of the book were displayed at a media festival room, designed by shop-concept studio Brigada, where lights were turned on and off at intervals.
Bruketa&Žinić previously designed a book that had to be baked before it could be read – see our earlier story.
Photography is by Domagoj Blažević.
Here are some more details from the design team:
Good ideas glow in the dark Inspired by the Adris annual report that glows in the dark, and that won many awards, we planned and set up the pavilion of Adris at the Weekend Media Festival, the largest regional festival of media industry.
We created a room in which, upon entering, the lights fade out and the only things that glow are the annual reports of Adris on shelves and tables.

More about Denis Guidone on Dezeen »
Here are some more details from Denis Guidone:
There’s something irresistibly poetic in observing the notebooks of the children taking their first steps in writing; a wonderful mess rules.
In Rigolo errors will draw our thoughts … free to make mistakes, every day all over again.
Rigolo is a lined notebook where the printing becomes landscape.
The idea takes shape from childhood memories; it is just a rethinking of the old lined notebooks that we used in kindergarden. How often has our teacher been reproaching us because we were unable to keep our notebook in good order?
In Rigolo the lines change colour and slope, they convey subjects ranging from geometry to figurative abstraction and the child is invited to follow them through writing.
While projecting the graphic, the optometry’s studies stating that children at their first steps in writing tend to tilt their handwriting of 30 degrees were taken into account.
Rigolo: Bruno Munari national award 2008 for editorial graphic experimentation wanted by national committee Bruno Munari and its proponents: the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, the Foundation DNArt, Regione Lombardia, the association Bruno Munari and the Triennale of Milano.

More information is provided by People Will Always Need Plates:
People Will Always Need Plates are delighted to offer four Dezeen readers the chance to win a set of platters to celebrate the launch of their first book, London Buildings: An Architectural Tour.
Created by founder members Robin Farquhar and Hannah Dipper, their illustrations have been used by the company on a successful range of plates, mugs and other objects but appear for the first time in a book.
Covering a range of architectural styles, well-known buildings such as the Barbican, Battersea Power Station, Sir Christopher Wren’s 1675 Greenwich Royal Observatory are included as well as the 20s modernist masterpiece – the Isokon Building – and Brutalist icons, the controversial Trellick Tower and the Royal National Theatre. Each image is accompanied by text summing up why the authors love the buildings they depict.
The duo behind the drawings initially began their business People Will Always Need Plates in 2004 with a focus on the buildings that they love, namely Modernist examples from the 1930s as well as concrete structures of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Their colourful illustrative design is unique and they are just as eager to celebrate the unsung architectural heroes as well as the well-loved, famous ones.
About the Platters:
British Industry Is Dead, Long Live British Industry
This new edition is a response to the perceived wisdom that Britain no longer makes anything.Though coal mining, ship building, and much of our motor industry has been lost, the UK is not simply a nation of shopkeepers – or more latterly, IT consultants and telecoms engineers. Happily, elements of traditional industries, such as Stoke-on-Trent’s potteries are beginning to see new growth as they recognise the need to protect the wealth of experience inherent in over two hundred years of ceramics manufacturing.
Each platter is worth £100 and the line drawings are printed in burnished gold.
Next book:
For the Month of August we’ll also be asking fans to submit buildings they love for the next book which will be the same theme but for the whole of Britain (not just London). We’ll pick a few winners to send Glicee prints of their favourite building to. Enter via our Facebook page.

Posted in: Uncategorized
Competition: we’ve teamed up with German typography magazine Slanted to give away five copies of their latest issue.
Slanted is a quarterly-printed magazine that features typography, illustration, layout, and photography.
Issue #14 focuses on Grotesque san-serif fonts.
The publication includes photos, essays and interviews about numerous type projects.
To enter this competition email your name, age, gender, occupation, and delivery address and telephone number to competitions@dezeen.com with “Slanted #14” in the subject line. We won’t pass your information on to anyone else; we just want to know a little about our readers. We regret that this competition is only open to European residents.
Read our privacy policy here.
Competition closes 26 July 2011. Five winners will be selected at random and notified by email. Winners’ names will be published in a future edition of our Dezeenmail newsletter and at the bottom of this page.

The following is from the magazine:
re.: Slanted #14 – GroteSque 2
While Slanted #13 dealt with contemporary and historical humanist grotesque fonts, Slanted #14 – Grotesque 2 focuses on current fonts that are in tradition of Lineal, Neo- or Geometric Grotesque.
They mainly have their origins in the time of the turn of 19th to 20th century. In 1880 Ferdinand Theinhardt designed the Royal Grotesque with four weights for the Königlich-Preußische Akademie zu Berlin, from which developed the Akzidenz Grotesque in 1918. Simultaneously, from 1905 to 1930, Morris Fuller Benton created fonts on the basis of Lineal Neo- grotesque: the Lineal Grotesque. Nowadays there can be observed different procedures of designing fonts, which can be named as quotations. A variety of fonts bear on historical models.
With great pleasure we present a huge number of these corresponding and related grotesque fonts, illustrations and projects. The type essays by Flo Gaertner (Karlsruhe), Robert Schumann (Berlin) and Anna Sinofzik (London) deal with them. Worth seeing photos stories are “Almost Europe” by Miguel Hahn and Jan-Christoph Hartung (Frankfurt am Main) who visualize the situation of refugees in the Spanish enclave Melilla, as well as »Ein Abend auf der Wiesn – Pictures taken during the great beer rush« by Volker Derlath (München).
Numerous interviews with Lizá Defossez Ramalho and Artur Rebelo (Porto), Edwin van Gelder (Amsterdam), Marta Podkowinska and Karol Gadzala (Krakow) and Hans Gremmen (Amsterdam) as well as an article about Kiyoshi Awazu as well as the 4th part of the Tokyo Report, both by Ian Lynam (Tokyo) and a musical travelogue by Frank Wiedemann (Berlin) round up the stuff to read.
By the way: Slanted #13 and #14 are conceived as a double-issue featuring the wide field of grotesque fonts. The availability of issue #13 is limited. Get the last copies from our shop at www.slanted.de/shop!
Slanted Magazine #14 Grotesque 2 Summer 2011 148 pages
