Live the Language
February 16, 2011#
I really like this sequence of language videos from EF Language Schools. A collaboration between Gustav Johansson, Niklas Johansson, Albin Holmqvist and Camp David the videos combine evocative film with beautiful typography. Nice soundtracks too. I’m not sure which my favorite is.
Go Faster: The Graphic Design of Racing Cars
January 19, 2011#
Another beautiful design book by Gestalten. ‘Go Faster’ is a collection of over one hundred examples of racecar design that shows the carefree anarchy in which they were created. In the book, ‘colorful racing cars are featured next to blank, white models. Thanks to this juxtaposition, Go Faster not only takes its readers on a breakneck ride through images of racing history, but also shows them exactly how the graphics modulate the look of the vehicle.’ Gestalten Video in post.

Mutiny Bikes
January 17, 2011#
The videos shot for Mutiny bikes by Joe Simon are great. A combination of stunningly shot video (including super8 and 5DmkII) and crazy riding skills in breathtaking locations. They’ve just got a really nice feel to them that make you want to get on your bike. It’s funny when you look at Joe Simon’s main work shooting weddings, a real contrast in content but the same beautiful aesthetic.

Born in Concrete
July 22, 2010#
Derek Stenning creates great Sci-Fi illustrations for the likes of Endeavor Snowboards but with a really unusual angle. The artworks have evolved around research into ‘Entartete Kunst’ (Degenerate Art), a term adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany to describe virtually all modern art.
“I find these discriminating ideas absurd, but I have adopted the Judeo-Bolshevist theme in this work (the cosmonauts, the hexagram etc.) as a starting point to create these images. As mentioned in a previous post this project is about returning to a more expressive way of creating art (after 10 years as a production artist), and about overcoming my own discriminating views on expressive art.”

July 16, 2010#
We’ve been working on the Star Wars branding with Locutio Voice Technologies and Lucas Film for the Yoda voice product launch. To coincide with the product launch TomTom have created a new viral video deployed on YouTube. The video features Yoda in the recording studio delivering his lines for the GPS, quite funny. Dagobah!
