Fresh off rolling out new green packaging for Puma and hiring David Adjaye to make him some underwear, our close personal friend Yves Behar and his fuseproject pals have continued on their hot streak with the announcement of their partnership with the Mexican government. Called “See Better to Learn Better” or Colleccion Escolar 2010, Behar has returned to designing for children (after One Laptop Per Child) with pairs of super sturdy eyeglasses, which will be made available for free to children 6-18 years old in Mexico. Here’s a description of the customizable options, to make the glasses more appealing to the kids (and make those with good vision hate their genes):

…we designed two part frames that are fully customizable with top and bottom colors that can be mixed and matched to fit all children’s personal choices. The innovative interchangeable nose pads let children with more petite noses wear the glasses comfortably. Through the use of the two part construction, 7 colors, 5 shapes and 3 sizes, these glasses can be swapped and adjusted in the field in order to update prescriptions.

For the Milan Design Week, Italian studio Carnovsky created a series of wallpapers that react to different coloured lights

The designs were created for the Milan shop of Janelli & Volpi, a noted Italian wallpaper brand. Each features overlapping illustrations, different elements of which are revealed depending on whether a blue, green or red light is shone upon them.

To tie in with the 9th Sci-Fi London Film Festival, graphic design studio Transmission asked 22 image makers from around the world (including Universal Everything, Alex Trochut, Mario Hugo and Tom Gallant) to create a new piece of work depicting their vision of what life will be like in 2050…

Life in 2050, runs at the Proud Central Gallery in London until May 4 and features work by Alex Trochut, Dan McPharlin, Daniel K Sparkes, Emiliano Granado, Future Deluxe, Graham Carter, Hort, Ivan Jones, James Taylor, Jason Tozer, Kerry Roper, Lee Baker, Mario Hugo, MVM (Magnus Voll Mathiassen), Panda Yoghurt, Sam Chivers, Stephen Elford, Tom Gallant, Tom Muller, Transmission, Universal Everything, and Unlimited.

“The brief for each artist was the same: To create an original image depicting their vision of what life will be like in 2050,” explains Transmission’s Stuart Tolley. “I wanted each piece to be created in an A2 portrait format and framed exactly the same way in thick white wooden frames. The images all sit next to each other at the same height in the gallery space. This gives each image an equal amount of space, so the viewer isn’t distracted by scale and framing techniques. I really wanted the varying styles and ideas to be the focus.” Here are some photos of some of the work in situ:

Dream on Dreamer by Alex Trochut: “This lenticular print changes colour as you move around it, creating a stunning and hypnotic psychedelic effect,” explains Tolley
