phtgrphy | lee jeffries - when photo speak

—

No need for words to describe the photographs of Lee Jeffries.

His portraits tell stories through his Canon 5D (24mm f/1.4L lens favorite).

—

—

Lee Jeffries us to know details of human faces, who have lived intense lives and do not hide it.

—

—

No additional filter to its Canon, just a good job of optimizing and contrast in post production (as now the vast majority of photographers).

Let the pictures speak.

master | karel martens — a life for unexpected shape

—

“Evoking meaning rather than boldly presenting truth is the essence of typographer Karel Martens work” says the disembodied voice of this eight-and-a-half minute profile film following the Dutch pedagogic graphic designer, created by the Submarine Channel.

—

—

What Martens has achieved in his extraordinary career would not fit into a film 100 times as long but what this short does do is shed a renewing light on the importance of play as a mode for thought.

dsgn | I have pop — street furniture

Idea · furniture design

Designer · I Have Pop

The idea is to create design objects (with high prevalence for chairs) with material from the road, metal nets, signs, pallets, walls and all that you can make an interesting piece of design. 

—

—

The project is on the border between the urban art and design semi-industrial and even if not new (the basic principle is the same bags Freitag ), the study of Amsterdam, however, has found a way to re-invent objects without losing the quality and design.

pckgng | x-tape: "lock your cardboard box"

—

Idea · packaging / graphic design

Designer · Hyoungmin Park & Jeongmin Lee for mmiinn

Source · yankodesign

—

—

So far you have been sealing your cartons with either duct tape or normal transparent scotch tape.

If you were to have the option of the X-tape, I’m sure you would have used it.
—

—

Design is not always about problem solving or functionality.

Sometimes elements of surprise, like this optical illusion “hinge” tape gives creativity the fun-edge that it requires. Mr Lee & Mr Park, how about sealing it with a kiss next time?

dsgn·grfk | crump the map - emanuele pizzolorusso

Times are tough for printed stuff in the internet age. But sometimes when you’re traveling you don’t want to stress your bill to use maps on your smartphone or tablet. When you travel it has to be easy, convenient and cheap.

—

—

Here is the map you’ve always wanted: it is soft, extra-light (Weighing only 20 grams and 100% waterproof), beautiful to look at and doesn’t mind being ill-treated. It is truly indestructible and the Crumpled City  maps (New York, London and many others for roughly $15), by Emanuele Pizzolorusso for Palomar, have also been awarded with Design Plus Award.

—

—

This is what Crumpled City says: “The map also has an index of all the Monuments, Museums, art Galleries, Buildings, Historical Places and Parks that can be easily found on the map. But there’s more, an original list of the city’s Soulsights. Visit these places and you will feel like an artist, a poet, a photographer, a director, a lover and a dreamer.” ❚

dsgn | instagram socialmatic camera — ADR studio

—

getaddicted  says:

—

—

Since Facebook has bought Instagram for nearly a billion dollars in cash and stock, many users, bloggers, economy experts have thought Instagram could build its first real photo camera.Imagine to pick the Instagram App icon and now imagine it as real camera.

This is the main idea of ADR Studio at the base of Instagram Socialmatic Concept.

A social camera with 16 GB mass storage, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, optical zoom, webcam apps, QR Code capturing, LED flash, internal printer, 4:3 touchscreen and 2 main lenses with possibility to put on some 3D filters.

—

—

With the integrated printer you could print out your photography directly on Instagram Paper Sheets. Every Instagram printed photo reports your Instagram nickname and a QR code on the frontside.

—

—

The Paper Sheets have a retro touch with a glue strip, just like a post-it. On the bottom of your printed photo you will have a dedicated space to write something on your own, like on the old Polaroid photos. Photo-it, emotion-it, print-it and finally post-it. One day Socialmatic could be the first Instagram photo camera

idntty | sabadì chocolate – happycentro

—

the dieline says

—

—

Chocolate created for the day when we slow down and are able to reflect on what is really important.

—

—

“Sabadì is a brand that mainly focuses, since its birth, to eatables that have a magic inside.

 The first product that came out of this brand is a “cioccolato di Modica”, a typical sicilian way of making chocolate, in this case made by extraordinary cocoa selected in Ecuador, in six combinations with strong personality.

—

—

—

 The raw materials used come from fair trade producers and Slow Food presidia with respect for small indigenous communities, the environment and biodiversity.

We started by studying and designing the logo and entire brand identity, that had to match owner’s mood about business and life in general.

—

—

—

—

—

Sabadì (sounds like Saturday in Italian) is ‘… perhaps the day that does not exist… the day when we slow down, we reflect on what is really important…’ We then developed its first chocolate collection designing 6 characters, 6 packages and a crowner.”

the dieline says

Mac and Ninny Paper Co are a new British company making paper goods in the UK .

—

—

” Amongst other things, we have designed and illustrated a brand new range of 64 bookplates, all manufactured in the UK. 

Our bookplate outer packaging is made from 100% recycled post-consumer waste (which we feel adds texture and personality to the packaging) and everything is printed using vegetable based inks.

—

—

Our packaging comprises an outer wallet which doubles as a library card for keeping track of your books (if you lend them out that is) and folds neatly to house the dozen bookplates contained in the pack.”

pckgng | shorf - istratova alexandra: "From Russia with cheese."

—

the dieline says

—

—

The sweets eaten during the holiday season in Russia inspired this line of infused cheeses.

“There are a lot of holidays at the beginning of the year in Russia – we celebrate Christmas, New Year, February 23 and March 8. Lots of candies and sweets are being eaten at this time so I thought that the sweets could be replaced with cheeses with different additions: dried apricots, prunes, nuts and even chocolate.

A flexible package retains traditional shape of a piece of cheese, a handmade chart emphasizes the naturalness of the product.

This is natural and delicious!”
