Beautiful poster by Jason Dean of The Best Part:
Using no ink whatsoever, these 18″x24″ posters are foil stamped and embossed to create an alphabet composed of letters from many of the more famous (and some infamous) logos of all time.
Now in the Einmaleins Workshop thanks to my amazing Trixy.
Great business card design.
Is it premature to call it?
Audi’s “Game day” commercial about vampires dying in the bright headlights is just brilliant.
All around great spot. They even included a #hashtag at the end: #solongvampires to encourage social conversation beyond the 30 sec. spot.
While you’re on Youtube, check out the Audi brand channel. Youtube is creating really nice brand pages – looks really tight.
Now to complete your adventure, check out the new Audi allroad… man, what a beautiful car. Me wants it!
Here in the Pacific Northwest we don’t often get a snowy winter, and when we do it’s either a light dusting or doesn’t last more than a day or two. But this time we got well over a foot, and to top things off an ice storm and the Governor declaring a state of emergency.
Coming soon. Mike Monteiro is working on a Tattly design for Swissmiss.
While he also has just gotten his art into Westelm… FTW I say.
On auction this month due to foreclosure.
I used to work in that tower for a few months. Beautiful building.
Blast from the past from our retail store.
swissted is an ongoing project by graphic designer mike joyce, owner of stereotype design in new york city. drawing from his love of punk rock and swiss modernism, two movements that have absolutely nothing to do with one another, mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. each poster is sized to the standard swiss kiosk dimensions of 35.5 inches wide by 50 inches high and set in berthold akzidenz grotesk medium, all lowercase. every single one of these shows actually happened.
Snow church in Bavaria.
Creating a sense of place as a church.
How about some funky architecture on this brisk Monday Morning?
Man, and there is more…
For the first time in the history of the prize, it is being awarded not to an individual, but to an idea. It is an idea upon which our planet’s future depends.
The Winner is: The City 2.0, an idea that is suppose to re-envision the future of what it means to live in a City.
My take: smaller is better.
Awesome video, swiss precision for playing in the snow.
Hattip Coudal, yet again.
Now that is a library. Like it almost as much as Seattle’s one.
Pictures of every storefront. Geeks delight.
Nugget out of Isaacson’s biography on Steve Jobs:
It turns out that Job’s masterful use of modern design could have been incubated by growing up in that home, which was built by the father of the California modernist movement, Joseph Eichler.
Love Eichler houses. Not just because of the last name. But that’s how I found out about them.
Huge development opportunity in Tumwater, WA. The most iconic property available along the I-5 corridor is the old Olympia Brewery.
Einmaleins TV had the opportunity to take a tour through the buildings. What you see in the video is just a glimpse of the property, and a taste for the opportunity that sits there, waiting for.., waiting for…
Ecosystems outlast organisms.
Villagers and local cultural heritage protection officials told Xinhua that about 700 meters of the wall, which was built during the reign of Emperor Wanli during the Ming Dynasty (1573-1620), had already collapsed, and more walls and even towers are likely to collapse if the mining continues unchecked.
It’s like in America over there.
Places I never valued when living in Germany, the old castles. Every field trip with the school was to an old museum. The ruins and building are everywhere, constantly reminding you of old days and how challenging it is to create anything new. Now I am on the West Coast and miss them so much. Over here nothing is old but the trees. Anything can happen, yet nothing much does with any kind of reference. No sense of place, no roots.
The Local has a list of 13 German castles that framed my horizon as a child and I can’t wait to take my kids to.
Thanks to the growth of research-based and high-tech jobs and prescient long-term urban planning, Nantes has managed to turn itself into an ambitious and growing city.
Now let’s build more cities like that and attract residents to live in them. West Coast, can you hear me?
