pCCS design student Andrew Kim, who got a tremendous response to his A HREF=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/andrew_kims_square_coke_bottle_design_16266.asp” square Coke bottle design concept/A (213 comments and counting on our entry alone) is it again, with at least two strong design concepts that have caught our eye in the past month./p

pThe first is his A HREF=”http://designfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/07/htc-1.html” HTC 1 cell phone concept/A, a personal project of his. Remember a few months ago when some journalist idiot wrote that the iPhone had reached the limits of industrial design? Like I said back then, comments like that show a real lack of imagination, and Kim’s concept here is proof. This could easily have come out of Cupertino as an iPhone successor, yet the design is markedly different in the details./p

pOne physical feature we love is the built-in kickstand, which along with software enables the phone to truly become a desktop alarm clock. Speaking of software, another thing we like about this concept is that Kim recognizes the softwware cannot be divorced from the hardware, so in addition to sweating the physical design, he’s put a lot of thought into creating “a harmonized hardware and software design.” A HREF=”http://designfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/07/htc-1.html” Click here/A to check it all out./p

div style=”align: right;”img src=”http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/07/0akim004.jpg” width=”468″ height=”411″ alt=”0akim004.jpg”//div

pA student project of his that caught our eye is the amusing A HREF=”http://designfabulous.blogspot.com/2010/06/google-vitamin.html” Google Vitamins/A, which seeks to solve the confusing package designs inflicted on us by most vitamin manufacturers. And again, Kim goes beyond merely designing the package, also taking into account how users would actually order them (sign in to Google Vitamin!) and be reminded of when to take them via cell phone apps./p

div style=”align: right;”img src=”http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/07/0akim005.jpg” width=”468″ height=”391″ alt=”0akim005.jpg”//div

div style=”align: right;”img src=”http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/07/0akim006.jpg” width=”468″ height=”261″ alt=”0akim006.jpg”//div

pOverall, we’re quite impressed at Kim’s holistic and thorough approach to product design. As with the Coke bottle project, he thinks through a lot more than just the physical object that sits on the shelf. Check out his personal site detailing the designs above, and more, A HREF=”http://designfabulous.blogspot.com/” here/A./pa href=”http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/more_killer_and_holistic_concept_designs_from_andrew_kim_16918.asp”(more…)/a

Last year’s big “they mention architecture a lot” movie (besides, you know, all those documentaries about architecture) was 500 Days of Summer. Now it looks like Inception is your best bet if you like to watch movies about characters who say things vaguely related to the profession or wherein the buildings look neat. The film’s studio has just released this short clip, entitled “Architect” wherein Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Caine saying the word at least once (whether they’re using the word to describe someone who designs buildings or as more of the “the brains behind” definition isn’t something we know):

Because that clip is so short, we recommend heading over to the LA Times for their interesting profile of Dominique Arcadio, the film’s art department researcher about her work looking into how to find looks for the buildings in the film (so maybe it actually does have real leanings in that direction).

DezeenTV: earlier this year Dezeen teamed up with [D3] Design Talents at imm cologne to interview 12 designers, including several whose careers have been launched at the young designers’ showcase. To kick off the Dezeentalks at [D3]Design Talents series, Cologne regular James Irvine discusses sweaty armpits, car bonnets and Jasper Morrison’s buckets. (more…)

Après le spot Samsung 3D Campaign, une nouvelle production de “Rabbitcontent” avec cette transformation complète de la ville à travers de nombreux effets visuels. Un trailer original dans un univers urbain, pour ce futur jeu Shaun White Skateboarding conçu par Ubisoft.
