“Gareth Pugh typically shows his collections in a video, rather than a runway show, because this way he can have more control over the final product. Also, he can make them much creepier. His favorite videographer, Ruth Hogben, did the latest one, which he debuted at the Pitti Uomo tradeshow in Florence. Model Natasa Vojnovic shows off Pugh’s fall 2011 collection with some posing, wiggling, and swimming, some of it nude and with the help of a fan. Enjoy in the video.”

Great sense of sarcasm, highly considerable genius, today I am going to represent you Muharrem Cetin.

The artist sticks you to the computer screen for each pair of his artwork and forces you to examine the content and the style as well.

Enjoy.

Foreign Policy Design is the creative group behind this nicely done branding project. The group’s branding efforts focused on the concept of duality in Shanghai. On one side of the bund there are historic art deco buildings and on the other side more modern. From there the design had the ability to become a reversible concept.

Another part of the identity pays tribute to the Waterhouse as a former warehouse. The graphic elements of the identity were squares to mimic the stacking and storage of cargo and goods. This helped the identity become globally and internationally appealing.

I really liked this. It just looks like the German manual of Something (I can’t remember what it is) that I’ve discovered in one of my drawers while I was packing up in Vienna to go back to Istanbul. I am still keeping that piece of hardcore German manual (It was a really good example of strict German Design), if I can find it in huge mess of my documents, I’ll post here.

And then a little explanation about this great work and the designer;

Mikael Floysand completed this project for the Deichmanske Library as a final exam while at Westerdals School of Communication. The project included identity, promotional and editorial design.

The library’s goal is to become one of the most modern and functional libraries in Europe by combining the old library tradition with new digital media advancements. It will also function as a cultural institution, housing concerts, a café/bar, lectures & debates. The identity focuses on the many sides of the institution by building a brand that constantly evolves rather than being static, just as the library itself is supposed to.

The Fonderland

He was extremely bored. Just bored of his life, bored of going repeatedly from somewhere to somewhere on people’s demand. Nothing was changing through time, his missions and destinations seemed like they are all the same. He used to call his life a triangle, he was going from A to B to C all the time. He was ready to find a different way for himself to follow but for him, the chance factor had not appeared yet.

One day he found himself alone in the empty room, just a chair and a table formed like a sperm. There were playing cards on the table, all mixed and upside down, as if they are calling him to chose one of them. The moment probably has come, ‘My life is going to change forever’ he thought. He didn’t know what kind of playing cards were them and what would he encounter when he flips the card. He put his hands on the table and took a strong breath. ‘This is going to be my destiny’ he murmured.

He closed his eyes, concentrated for the unknown. Then he decided to choose the card lying on the far right corner of the table. He had waited his entire life to have a chance to decide, maybe for this moment. He could not remember how he got in this room from where and when. There was something weird going on but he did not take this suspiciously. It seemed for him as everything is normal. He was so open to new things far far away from his triangle-like life. He took his last breath of excitement and flipped the card.

It was written F, just the letter F, no numbers no other thing. He  In a rush he started to flip the other cards, there were letters all the time, D, J, S and the rest of the alphabet. Then he recognized that 3 of the letters were missing: A, B and C.

What the FUCK?

There was a white rabbit waiting 7 step ahead of himself . ‘Have I become a bad replication of Fucking Alice?’ he asked.

‘Just shut up and Follow the Fucking white rabbit, and call me Mussolini’ the rabbit answered.

‘Oh then it’s the replication of Animal Farm!?’

‘No, you silly.’

Then they entered the Forest, his new world. ‘What is this place?’ he asked Mussolini.

‘It’s The Fonderland’

After a few seconds they came across a beautiful deer who has handcuffs on his legs. Hello F, my name is Hitler, if you help me i would like to introduce you to my friends. F said OK but Hitler was looking into his eyes as if he wants something. ‘You have to carry me all the way he said, I can not walk with the hand cuffs between my legs.’ After a big hesitation, he grabbed Hitler and surprisingly it was so easy. He was expecting Hitler would weigh dozens of kilos but he was too light, maybe 2-3 kilos. ‘How could you weigh this light?’ F asked to Hitler. ‘Nothing is like as it appears to you’ he replied back.

After 7 minutes they found a castle with so many beautiful Flowers around. ‘Could you please open the door.’ Hitler asked politely. Then they entered.

To be Continued.

These album covers are from a collection scanned and archived by Jive Time Records, a Seattle based store specializing in used vinyl. The fact that designers could get away with such simple designs just blows me away. It seems to me that it’s getting harder and harder to get away with designing so simply.

Amongst Objects:

Just a little update about this time period that I was gone: I left where I live for Vienna, studied digital art and media for one term, lived there for 5-6 months, rented a flat, rented some new friends, rented some unknown people, and rented lots of cities. It was so complexed yet amazing, maybe I will talk about my experiences later.

I am looking at my last post which a identified myself as a flying rabbit, now its time to change my identical figure to an another animal ( OK, maybe the next time it can be something different than an animal ) . Here it comes, a staring fucking owl. As it can be understand from the silly metaphor, now im much more stable than being highly mobile, maybe even totally stable, no more farewells seem to happen in the close future so that I can be here – which is more than nothing – and will be posting some new stuff.

Anyway guys, hi again.

PS: I wish I had known the author of the photo, but I don’t, so thank you for the Unknown Photographer.

this is my lifestyle.
not that hard believe me.

And a little biography;
Michael Snow was born in 1929 in Toronto. A multidisciplinary artist, Snow is a painter, photographer, filmmaker and musician. He is considered among Canada’s most important artists living today. Snow produced his first film in 1956. His 1967 film Wavelength proved him to be among the key filmmakers of the North American avant-garde. In the late sixties, he collaborated with a Canadian engineer on developing a mechanical arm that enabled the camera to turn in every direction and at rotary speeds controlled by the artist. This mechanical arm was used in his film La Région centrale (1971). 

In the past decade, Snow has participated in every major exhibition exploring images in the modern world. These include Passages de l’image (organized by the Centre Pompidou),Projections, les transports de l’image (first presented at the Studio national des arts contemporains Le Fresnoy) andthe Biennale d’art contemporain de Lyon (which in 1995 celebrated the hundred years of cinema). The Art Gallery of Ontario and the Power Plant teamed up for a major retrospective, Michael Snow Project, incorporating all the media Snow has worked in. Recently, in Europe, his films and photographs were the object of the exhibitionPanoramique: œuvres photographiques et films=Photographic Works and Films: 1962-1999,and in 2001, the Arnolfini Gallery presented the exhibition Michael Snow: Almost Cover to Cover. Michael Snow is a member of the Order of Canada and a knight of the Order of Arts and Letters in France. In March 2000, he won the Governor General’s Award in visual and media arts for his film work.

Wait for us.

So 17.
