Oktavilla by Elding Oscarson

A really interesting design studio space i found at ArchDaily, made by Elding Oscarson.

Here's the (stacking) process in a nutshell ;)

ASCIImeo

ASCIImeo s a project by Peter Nitsch. It’s a video player which renders Vimeo videos in ASCII in different textmode’s.

it is what it is by 2×4 Inc

Portrait of a studio in 1000 images.

by 2x4, New York.  it is what it is by 2x4 Inc.

I must get this book since 2x4 has been one of my favorite studios since university and i feel that they had quite influence on the kind of designer i am today.

McDonald’s Social Media Marketing Strategy –

The global market leader on fast food has recently shared its view on Social Media Marketing Strategy and what it means for McDonald’s and how they want to become market leader in this area as well.

Heather Oldani, U.S. Communications Director at McDonald’s, has shared McDonald’s Social Media Marketing Strategy and is a must-read for CMO’s.

Important to McDonald’s are the following key learnings:

  1. Ask yourself…”How can we actively engage” vs “Should we engage?”
  2. Walk before running…Develop the right strategy for your brand vs leaping into tactical activation
  3. Collaborate…Social media has potential for a number of different departments within a company
  4. Be flexible/nimble…Some new trend that has the potential to impact your brand is always around the corner
  5. Be open to feedback…Everyone has an opinion about your brand, products, services so be open and willing  to listen

Casey and I

"There are many women designers who deserve to be recognised for their immense contributions to the field of graphic design, but few so deserving as Jacqueline Casey (1927-91). "

this link was ripped from the new eye´s blog ;)

Gary Hustwit goes industrial

Objectified is a documentary about industrial design; it’s about the manufactured objects we surround ourselves with, and the people who make them. On an average day, each of us uses hundreds of objects. (Don’t believe it? Start counting: alarm clock, light switch, faucet, shampoo bottle, toothbrush, razor…) Who makes all these things, and why do they look and feel the way they do? All of these objects are “designed,” but how can good design make them, and our lives, better?

UT


Uniqlo has been one of my favorite brands mostly due to their online presence. Under the promise of "We use the world's best resources to give customers something better every time." it's impressive to see that they also apply this idea when it comes to interactive works to promote the brand. (While at it, explore also the main Uniqlo.com ( i guess made by Yugop).

Bomb The Bass

bombthebass

Dieter and Lung of Perish Factory have directed this awesome video for Bomb The Bass, called Butterfingers. Each button and control has a unique character and role in the video that sustains viewing all the way to the witty end. In Dieter’s own words there was “no real trickery to the making of it, just lots of hands, a lot of puppets, a lot of takes and a crap load of duct tape in the back holding things together”.

You can see the video here

Hint taken from Gary Butche's Vlakonline

Oh My God! I dreamt with this tonight!

... like i was part of the video!! Can only mean that i'm getting old or this is a Nightmare 2.0
Well, well, wish you all a Super8!

Human Calendar

Back in 2001 Craig Giffen created a website called humanclock.com. Since the Human Clock website represented time with pictures, he figured he could predictably milk the idea with slower-moving units of time — calendar dates. Sadly however, the calendar remained neglected until now
