For the this year’s Stockholm’s Furniture Fair the students, the third year product design students of Beckmans College teamed up with the second year graphics students to produce a short film, showcasing their new work.
I just can’t understand how this can be done, thought, approved. Whoever designed this was high on drugs or wanted to me remembered as a idealistic… What was he idealizing, I don’t know, but doesn’t make much sense anyway…
Claim To Fame: World’s worst roundabout
Anyone who has been on the Internet for a while will recognize the Magic Roundabout – it has appeared in virtually every “funny picture” list you can find. The roundabout is a real roundabout in Swindon, England. It was built in 1972 and it includes 5 other smaller roundabouts. To make matters worse, you must travel anti-clockwise (the reverse of the normal situation on British roundabouts) when you enter the smaller central roundabout. The Swindon Junction has been voted the worst junction in Great Britain.
I saw this video once before and unfortunately I agree with the fact that what they do is to joke with other peoples work. Imagine you work hard to create or come with a nice concept to a video or you do a funny video and it becomes a hit in youtube. Then a company, an agency COPY your concept and apply it to a client spot or campaign. First, is intellectual robbery, then is another joke since it believes that we gonna like it because it is similar to a hit, or a very popular video with million views on youtube. I mean, those who are the target of these spots (we, young people, connected with internet), we now, I now this videos from youtube and I don’t get impacted with this. I think, yeah, nice idea, but is not theirs Idea, is not new, is someone else…
While at the class I produced this A4 design which I intend to print and use as a cover for my BootCamp Book, where I will put some of my creative briefings, pics and relevant stuff to get a job.
Hey readers, as you can see I am changing the design and improving a few things. The first template I was using, the white one, was just a first step so I could start writing before working with the visuals. I have a small BIG problem that is if I get stuck on design I would never start the blog.
So, I ask for your consideration and patiente… If you see of experience any problem, please report to me via Comment
Crise é a palavra da moda agora. Ela está em todos os lugares, desde produtos nos supermercados até música. Enquanto passeava por alguns sites bacanas eu achei no Informtion Aesthetics, que por sinal é muito interessante para designers como eu que adoram números e dados, um vídeo que propõe explicar visualmente a Crise do Crédito, ou SubPrime Crisis.
These are some images I’ve produced a long time ago. They were “hidden” somewhere in my HardDisk.
It’s funny how I try to “run away” from illustration and design and now and again I go back to my roots…
