Travel Through Time

Who knew I would have a second time/space pun for you all? This 'time' the artist is Soner Ozenc. His portfolio is here:

Need Textiles?

www.mayang.com/textures/

A website with LOADS of different hi - res, downloadable textiles - everything from wool to brick!
Some REALLY naff images though ( the guy must have ran out of things to photograph?), but thought it may come in handy with those Motorola backgrounds?

Jamie.

It's the real thing.

Commisioned by Mother (London ad. agency) for Coca-Cola, directed by Nagi Noda (famous Japanese artist and top director). Simple yet effective - no computer effects. Vocal by Jack White. Well worth a look. http://www.partizan.com/partizan/commercials/?nagi_noda

Que?

Last week, artist Rio Yanez hosted "The Great Tortilla Conspiracy" at the De Young Museum in SF. Artists were welcome to come to the museum with predrawn art, and then have it silk-screened onto tortillas with edible ink. The tortillas were displayed on the wall and not eaten; which seems to defeat the purpose of having used edible ink. Also, her mission statement does not clarify any intentions of the project other than to have you art printed on a tortilla (is that the "conspiracy?").

On The Box Thinking

This from a fellow TV show loving designer. Great wit and simple ideas.

TV shows are consumer products, right?

If there were ever a post published that deserved to be titled "Whipping Post", this would be the one. Just imagine this photo in the context of the publisher (Chris Garvey).

Power Tower

Miami has been one of the big boomtowns in the US since the turn of the century due to tourism, cruise ship ports, and international commerce. Miami is also one of the more aesthetically unique cities, and hence, some interesting architecure is being erected. The COR tower combines post-911 green sensitivity and beach-front showmanship to create a truly integrated tower; the circular windows weave into the wind power fans crowning the skyscraper. This building is in early approval stages, so I do not yet have a link.

MOTOCHINA

Ann and Joanne went to Beijing last week to launch the Motorola Packaging Unification design system to their North Asia marketing team. With one extra day to sightsee, we visited the Forbidden City and walked the back alleys for shopping. Ann partied with the clients on her last night until 4am, while Joanne came down with a case of the shingles (no worries, recuperating well).

Shawn got hitched!

Shawn and Jessica were married in Healdsburg on a beautiful afternoon amidst colorful flowers, the shade of an ancient oak tree, and a few Turner Duckworthians as witnesses! They had stylish cupcakes for the "wedding cake" and a smartly designed invitation, menu and program, to no surprise! David and Joanne sat with Kit from Pentagram and talked about Peeps sparring in the microwave. Scintillating conversation!

From the the front page of the Life section of USA Today:

Erase your preconceptions

2005 Clean Slate Riesling, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany, about $11. Praise be the comprehensible and stylish label on this new-wave Riesling from the famously confusing German wine world. The grape and its origins are stated clearly on the front, and the artsy photo of slate rocks and the nifty name imply freshness and the promise of mineral-tinged fruit flavors. Sweetness is not an issue here: This wine is all about the perfect balance between demure peach-nectarine flavors and cleansing acidity. Chill well and serve with grilled seafood.

And if you look closely into the carton, you'll see the faintest of eye-claimaion marks hidden in the slate.

Very cool.
