Two "Impromptu" Projects

New Projects on artemispsathas.com

Empire Of The Sun: ♥

"Making new friends" is always fun... especially when they're gonna hang out with you when you're working on those late-night projects, or when you're on your one-hour-long drive to work... 

Empire Of The Sun feel like a new, slightly more cohesive and conceptually digestible, version of FischerSpooner. Obviously, with all the "trimmings": makeup, hair, costumes, accessories, cool videos etc.

I am totally in love with the Sam Le More Remix of Walking On A Dream...

Ahh... new friends...

Ear Candy

David Guetta strikes again via the unexpectedly house-adaptable voice of Kelly Rowland. I have to say that none of the remixes manages to surpass the original version, and this is coming from me; the remix addict.

+ the typography on the single cover is (cool, &) sort of "Kylie Minogue-esque", doncha think?

Freeway Series: Car Affairs #2

Again, while coming home on the freeway this afternoon...

I'll say, it's amazing how my iPhone's (poor) camera can capture such saturated colors!

Sneaky-Peeky

The new project is coming out sensational... Couldn't be more happy!

It's here!

ALL The Single Ladies!

Remember Beyoncé's Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), that awesomely choreographed, minimal, brilliant black & white video?

Well, apparently, Trident is presenting Beyoncé for a free concert at the O2 Arena in London this coming November, and their promo team came up with this cool idea. 100 "Single Ladies" at Piccadilly Circus, London...

Nice Day To Shoot Someone

Last Sunday night, we (the model and I) decided that Monday would be a good day for a photoshoot, and that the Lady's Mile Beach would be a great place for this impromptu shoot. I think we were right. 

Unexpectedly Inspired

Despite the ups and downs of the past few days; obligations, family gatherings, minor health issues, I am very happy to say that I am managed to work on some mini projects which are going to be uploaded on my website pretty soon...

Alex Moulton - Exodus: Good Stuff

I spend approximately 11 hours in my car every week. Plus, I need some type of abstract (but not too abstract) music to pull me through the procedural structure of my work, and when I work at home.

Exodus is out since May '08, however, I only found out about it in September and fell totally in love with it. It's like a one-hour-eight-minute storytelling track, with various climaxes and amazing twists along the way. Exodus lacks of dull moments, thanks to its adequate shifts from trance to house, and to more funk-infused organic moments.

Also, one of the main reasons I love this album so much is its retro references and 80s (and, at times, 70s) vividness... The artwork is also very appropriate for the overall, aforementioned, retro feeling this album delivers. 

It's Unanimous!

This is everyone's favorite logo...
And that's why everyone is getting one made.

First, Forthnet, one of Greece's main land-telephony, and internet services provider, upgraded their logo from the paleolithic icon they had before to what you see above. Quite fresh, and a major improvement from the previous one.  A shameless rip off of BT's new logo!!!

Then cyta; Cyprus's main, yet unreliable, (semi-governmental) mobile / land-telephony and internet provider, decide that they should undergo a similar change. I say "similar" because having a similar, more like identical, logo was exactly what they had in mind, given that they are expanding to Greece to offer their sluggish services there too. They upgraded their logo using an Athens-based design agency, replicated the feel of Forthnet's logo, and they even used a sans serif, lowercase script, to render the cloning complete. At least they managed to change all the signage, corporate vehicles, stationery etc. overnight sparing us from a potential mess of incosistency. Now, they even force their employees to wear scarves bearing the awful logo scattered all over them... Despite the "upgrade" as they like to refer to it, cyta still remains somewhat unreliable... 

And then, there's the case of Cosmos Trading... Cosmos trading is one of the leading trading companies in Cyprus, they're the ones who import Absolut Vodka in Cyprus, just to give you a hint. Anyhow, I don't know much about their rebranding drama, but I am positive the word "infringement" can very well be included in it...
Again, the use of the sans serif lowercase typography completes the replica like a charm!

Long live the cloned logos with unnumbered gradients and badly executed lowercase typography!
