Abc3d - il nuovo libro di Marion Bataille


Esistono persone che da sempre mantengono vivi i nostri idoli della musica rilanciando costantemente le loro vecchie ma famose canzoni in modi diversi rendendoli quasi proprie. Grazie all’illustratrice francese Marion Bataille e al Suo nuovo e afascinante libro di pop-up lettering anche l'arte e design riesce, ancora oggi, a sorprenderci proponendo idee fantastiche, semplici ma concettualmente bellissime riportandoci in dietro con gli anni, quasi agli albori delle nostre prime letture, quando da piccoli seduti al letto e a luce quasi spenta, guardavamo stupiti quei meravigliosi racconti su pagine di carta animata. Ad Ottobre è prevista la publicazione del libro di Marion Bataille realizzato in collaborazione con Roaring Book Press, ma è già in vendita su Amazon.

Rottama il brand


Un'iniziativa che al mio avviso è molto importante e che sarebbe da portare avanti anche a livello politico, ne trarrebbero grandi benefici non solo le aziende italiane ma anche noi poveri creativi... . La campagna proposta da Guerrilla Marketing è la prima iniziativa destinata a voler risolvere il sintomo forse di un certo stagnamento creativo a livello nazionale, offrirebbe alle aziende poter decisionale ed un maggior livello d'investimenti per la loro identità. Firma l'appello: Rottama Brand

Gravity Free: Multidisciplinary Design Innovation Conference


Gravity Free is a truly unique multidisciplinary design conference. Each year Gravity Free picks a theme and selects 22 of the most passionate designers, design thinkers and innovators on the planet from 20 different design disciplines to help us explore the theme. The result: an experience like none other - a remarkable cross-fertilization of ideas and inspiration that only happens when such a remarkable variety of design influences interact. This year's conference theme, "The Year of Dangerous Minds", celebrates creative risk-taking. It explores the boldness of larger-than-life revolutionaries who redraw the boundaries with their own personal line in the sand and whose shock waves often reverberate well beyond their own disciplines. Registration is now open. Thanks Dexigner for this article!
