Using figurative representation and geometric abstraction, Ted Lawson creates a narrative progression of forms that reveals something conceptually greater than the sum of their parts. His working process in an exploration into the human existential experience through imagined models of the universe as pure physical form.

Mujjo, famous for developing last winter’s ‘must-have’ touchscreen gloves, managed to improve the fundamental elements of the gloves - the insulation, the aesthetics, the anti-pilling properties and the fit. Introducing the A/W 12-13 touchscreen gloves collection, available in black, natural gray, sandstone, lavender and coral pink. I think the gloves can be an instant solution for later autumn check-ins, runnings and urban scouting.

The project Alphabetical started in several years ago when Creative Review commissioned Dan Tobin Smith to create "a Letter A" for their Annual. "Each Letter has a different approach but uses Helvetica as the base typography. Most are temporary installations, some use landscape and some were conceived as primarily moving image (such as Letter T).

New Letters will be added as they are finished and supporting material including work in progress will be added from time to time."

Behance Creative Network released An Ode to Creative Work as a visual statement of all designers and artistic persons.
"Creative work is a labor of love. All too often, we celebrate creation and overlook the difficult and emotional labor behind the scenes. Anyone who creates for a living knows all too well the doubts and barriers - both within us and around us - that challenge us every day. From the very beginning, our team at Behance has sought to discuss and support the "work" part of the creative world - the "99% perspiration" - that goes into making ideas happen."

Portuguese Pomm.Design.Studio has created an iCorkCase with a jaggy modern look made entirely of cork. The POMM - iCorkCase, at first sight, it hides its goal. Elegant and with a modern look, the eyes guess the forms and can’t resist it. Inspired by the merge of geometric shapes, the design is "simple and visually interesting”.
Our purpose was that design should also take in consideration that the transportation and protection of a gadget so important in our daily lives had to be a goal. "We have chosen cork due to its properties: it is durable, versatile and highly resistant to daily use, shock absorber and water resistant. Its modelling is easy, and it’s an ecological and biodegradable material." Pomm.design.studio implemented for the first time a geometric-design that goes beyond the formal visual plan.
“From the beginning we wanted to make something entirely new to revolutionize the standard products currently on the market”. To meet this goal, we have produced several models for the product development, to understand how it would work as a whole, the design was refined until reaching this final stage to meet the requirements of producing such an influential product.
The branding works by Pavel Emelyanov (Eskimo) feature on our pages with enviable frequency. And this time we can't resist to post his new identity made for the catering company "Rest Group"

The moment I am still impressed from what I saw on Mr.Frivolous portfolio. His simple, hence striking, portraits created by using only pencils and felt-tip pens and seems he spends an overnight to create each piece. The speed of drawing, techniques, drafts and later original prints, creates the unique atmosphere while surfing his Flickr account. It is enjoyable.
Hungarian Fine Art Student Bence Hajdu has re-edited some of the most famous paintings like ‘The last supper’ by Leonardo da Vinci or Jacques-Louis David’s ‘Oath of the Horatii’ by erasing the main characters out of the painting. A pure state of silence. I bet that while looking at them one's trained visual brains may start recreating the masterpieces from a scratch.
First, magician and illusionist and only then a Fine Art photographer from LA - Brooke Shaden gained a close attention from audience and media. "I create images that are rooted in reality yet have qualities that are not from our world. I create the worlds I wish we lived in, and I tell the stories that live inside my mind." http://www.flickr.com/photos/brookeshaden/ http://www.shadenproductions.com/
Around this time last year, it was revealed that Steve Jobs had been designing his very own luxury yacht before his death. Jobs had been collaborating with renowned French designer Philippe Starck on the project. On one hand all this news has a taste of bitterness, on the other we'd liked Jobs to overcome all that storms around Apple nowadays right on this beautiful yacht.
