Project Updates

These past few days I've been keeping super busy working on adding some projects to my website. The IPWT shoot, some illustrations for Business & Life, some more additions in the illustration section and some branding samples are some of the additions.

The Evolution of "Man"

Does anyone know who should be credited with this? This made my day.

Thanks Djani. (Go get a blog, will ya?)

"Esquire" Sounds Like This Video

So, this is how the sound of the word "Esquire" spoken in various accents looks like. Pretty confusing huh?

This text from artist Mark Pyke's (of Universal Everything) website explains it better.
Esquire magazine selected Universal Everything alongside others such as Micheal Gondry and Porsche Design as one of their "Twelve most innovative artists and designers", to reengineer the Esquire logo for the twenty-first century. We created a series of logo based sound sculptures, grown from regional American accents.

I'll say, that british accent surely looks really slushy if you're asking me...

WVIL: If This Is The Future, I Want In!

I never was a huge fan of bulky, professional-looking cameras to begin with. This 31-MegaPixel camera-phone, is still –and will be for a long time– in it's very first concept phase, but managed to cause a explosive stir in the world of techfreaks and photonerds around the world.

What this "is" basically, is a camera phone with a 31MP sensor and a wireless retractable lens in which the sensor lives and captures images even when not attached on the actual camera. I am sure that there are others out there whose heart skipped a beat when they saw this, but to be completely honest; I don't see this actually happening before 2015 and I can only imagine what kind of a shocker the price will be...

So for now, this remains a design concept by the Seattle-based Artefact and a burning desire for many of us. (via)

IPWT Promo Shoot

So, this past Wednesday, I finally did the promo shoot for the temporary website of INPEOPLEWETRUST. After some research, a bit of location hunting, some fabric shopping and quite some drafting, I managed to complete this with the super help of Marina, the model and my best: Andria. 

More: in the next couple οf days...

Pixar + USPS

The US Postal Service is releasing a series of postage stamps featuring the characters from some of Pixar's movies.

These are super cool and remind me of the time I used to collect stamps... and then I lost my collection and never looked back at stamp collecting. (via)

Depressurization (Yes Please)

I stumbled upon this awesome track a couple of weeks ago, (where else?) on Twitter. I am loving this and I am loving Drexciya, (I was 100% oblivious of their existence before this). How amazing is the fact that this awesome track was constructed back in 1992? 

The word Depressurization does not even begin to describe what I desperately need these days, so here it goes!
