OFFF Mexico 2013 Titles
After three consecutive days of creativity, inspiration and hardcore talent; OFFF México has once again been a massive success this year. Starting with the touching speech by the brilliance of Héctor Ayuso, Josué Ibáñez and Alejandro Machorro, the audience experienced an endless journey shared with the dreamy work by Sougwen, the endless inspiration by Jessica Walsh, the experimental work by Julien Vallée and if we must say, the master of title sequences Kyle Cooper. Along with many other talented speakers, the audience ended their journey eager for another one in the next OFFF México in 2014. Naturally, the OFFF experience includes brilliant main titles and this time OFFF México introduced us to Jorinna Scherle; a young director and designer known for her unique style of work. Causing the beautiful audience to request to play it more than once, the main titles this year were new and experimental along with the collaboration of Ben Lukas Boysen with his remarkable work.

Minsk Style
When I first time saw the concept work for Minsk, Belarus capital rebranding, done by Moscow-based designer Maxim Ali, I was confused with that bright stripes and fresh forms. What they all to do with the city like Minsk? But later things grow on me and I spotted a new video for "Think Minsk" project done by another talent Alex Frolov. I won't ever be so sceptical, the things must change, we can't stick to old habits and not revolutionize the whole perception of the object huge as the city. Great job!

Amanda Charchian photography
The photography of Amanda Charchian is like a vaguely familiar dream. Her series featured here make a strange sort of sense in much the way a dreams do. via
“I really enjoy what I do, so I am constantly working. I am very fast paced and I like working in a trance state, so it doesn’t suit me to adhere to a particular plan. The process always starts with that sort of light bulb flash (usually when I am doing something really mundane), and then I refine the concept. With that concept lurking, the physical making of the work always becomes very intuitive.”
