I don't know if there is a word out of the dictionary complete enough to describe the above image. If there is, it is not known to me.
This is the most powerful.
Nick Knight creates not images but imagery.

Item - Suck UK Message Tape
Labels: product
What works better than our typical post-its and doesn't bore our minds with the standard symmetrical squares of yellow? Suck UK, known for their funky and larger-than-life housewares, came up with a message tape that will never have us complaining again. This is definitely going into the ourpermanence team's wishlist.
"it's a tool - it's useful - it solves a problem - it's truly interactive and at the same time can be decorative if desired by the user - you only ever use as much of it as you really need - it's customisable - it can bind things of a completely different nature together - it can be used for heavy-duty utility applications as well as for art installations - it allows you to physically engage with the endlessly re-producible quality of digital information - it makes whatever you have to say look more official."

Manuel Dall'olio
Labels: graphic design
When you produce work as good as how Manuel Dall'olio does, you'll be comforted to know you've reached a new level of aesthetics analysis that many of us graphic designers try hard to reach or maintain.
Clean lines, perfect shadows interplayed with multiple dimensional experimentations, proves that this Italy-based designer knows what he's doing with shape and form. Give this some more work and it might just turn into a mind-blowing typeface (sorry, I'm such a typo-nerd)

Jim Herrington
Labels: photography
Love the grains, the duotones, the undefined borders. bottom line, We would beg for film, photo processing and its irreplaceable results.
Photojournalist, Jim Herrington knew what he wanted to do at the age of 13 after attending Berry Goodman's concert. He has shot for magazines like Rolling Stone (both mag and band), Mojo, GQ & even Gibson Guitars. It seems like musicians inspires photographers in so many ways- that includes the birth of the passion itself. So my question is, between music and photography, which has more impact on people who practices none?
I think it depends on the individual, whether out of what you see or what you hear, which is what you choose to believe in.
“I just stay out of the way,” he says, “and let the subject speak.”

Lina is known for her subtle and strong pictures that captures the elements of everyday life and portraying them beautifully with their relations towards their surroundings. Whenever I see her work around, it feels as if I've stumbled onto someone's box of secrets, meant for a priviledged few. And that's the beauty of her photos.

30th February - Chow Chee Yong
Labels: photography
Our beloved lecturer is going to blow your mind away!
Chow Chee Yong, a local photographer renowned for his surrealistic black and white
photography, will be launching his first photographic book (titled the same name as
the exhibition) at Kay Ngee Tan Architects Gallery on Friday 29 February 2008,
7:30pm. The exhibition (lasting from 19 February – 15 March 2008) will showcase Chee
Yong's photomanipulated works - all singlehandedly done in the darkroom.
That means there's no photoshopping involve (some serious darkroom skills man).
The idea of 30th February, is to showcase photographic works that were physically
impossible to capture within just one shot, just like how 30th February itself isn't physically
existent, Chee Yong plays about the idea of the surreal and non-existent intertwined
into our physically relevant world.
That's a skill even I would think twice tampering with.

Kay Ngee Tan Architects Gallery. 16-17 Duxton Hill
19 February – 15 March 2008

Most of us have seen it. If you haven't, you should unless you have something against cleverly personified alcohol bottles and violent cigarettes.
Watch both the Wrigley's Extra Tab commercial here,

However, I'm not sure if its too effective an ad because I doubt I'd take that gum after watching the ads(over and over again). What I'm saying is that i really have no qualms about a Donut looking like that following me everywhere i go... and cig. Plus Mr banana!
