It’s been a while ago since I told you about 60 Unite for Children, a project by I told you about 60 Unite for Children, a project by UNICEF dwhere 60 designers and artists from around the world showcase graphics and thoughts related to children.

A kickass purchase. The 180 pages book contains a huge amount of top notch works plus some beautiful thoughts.

Procrastination

Procrastination is: Always displacing what you have to do with other “more-preferable” activites”.

And in this excelent video I took from Sindicato de la Imagen’s blog, procrastination is defined with superb visual pleasure.

Desktopography 2008

4th release of the always breath-taking Desktopography has just dropped in.

Brand new creations by amazing artists from all over the world directly to your desktop.

The work above is by far one of my favorites and comes from the hands of insanely talented mr. David Fuhrer.

Diego Quintana x KDU x Slick Corea

Phil Chang (A.K.A. Slick Corea) is an excelent designer, music producer, apart from being a KDU creative consultant.

A while ago he asked some people to collaborate with his senior thesis project: A full length rap album alongside a graphics book with images related to each one of the songs.

Being a rap and design fan, I couldn’t let this chance slide.

Now Phil just released the album under the title of Children of Idiom along with the book, and they’re both kickass.

Inside the album you’ll find excelent excelent tracks (the beats are insane) alongside top-notch musicians; and in the book you’ll find the incredible works of people like Emeric Trahand, Adhemas Batista, Josh Vanover, Radim Malinic just to name a few.

Also, of course, there’s my modest collaboration to the project (second image above).

An absolute honor to be in such a fun project with exceptional artists, plus working with Phil was a joy by itself. Cool cat indeed.

Thanks a bunch to mr. Chang for making me a part of this kickass project, and much success on works to come.

Of course the invite is open for everyone to download the album, a the book, and the sweet little Extras pack on the website.

Getting punched in slow motion

This is what happens when you have bored employees who are willing to humiliate themselves, and some time to spare with the high-definition camera you just rented for a shoot.

Cyberoptix – Ties that don’t suck

The good folks at Evasèe are always up to date dropping the new hot stuff on design, art and general trends; but this one is for sure one for the books: Cyberoptix.

Created by Bethany Shorb, this enterprise is dedicated to the always curious, atractive, yet unexplored market of ties, and it does it in a masterful way.

Make in fine silk with hand-made sikscreening processes, each one of these ties is an absolute statement of elegance, vanguard and style.

By far an attractive gift that out does and differs from the traditional market offer.

Get your own for around US$35 – US$40.

Women, take care of your beaver


 

This awesome and highly controversial campaign by femenine care giant Kotex aims directly, without hints or subliminal messages to one thing only: If women have only one vagina, why not take care of it?.
 
Just amazing. It’s these type of campaigns that make me more and more aware of the fact that our small, hard-working countries are still centuries behind when it comes to maturity and a slightly more elevated criteria regarding topics such as the human body and sexuality.

Flashpedia, everything Flash


 

My good friend Panxo (A.K.A. TheMechonConnection) just sent me this website that holds a whole lot of nifty minigames, videos and apps made in Flash.
 
Quite the spot to spend some of your lazy hours.
 
 
On another matter, a lot of you’ve been asking why I’m kinda missing from my website. The thing is I’m setting up a few projects and one of them involves several changes around here.
 
In the meantime I’ll try to catch up on the posting frequency.
 
Greetings to all of you still passing by.

Sagmeister’s book packaging


 

Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far is the latest book by the master Stefan Sagmeister, one of the grand designers of modern day design.
 
A while ago I read that the book’s packaging was laser cut to reveal different swapable patterns through Sagmeister’s face; but this video really explains how it works.
 
Awesome. The one I like the most is the T.
 
Plus the book is really cheap!. US$24 at Amazon.

TODO, interaction design

Just today I received a comment on my blog from the very people who were behind the amazing Artificial Dummies I posted a while ago. They’re the great minds of TODO, and the heads up was from their very own Andrea.

TODO is, in their own words, an interaction and media design agency. Stablished in Italy, this group has a whole lot going for them. Kickass interactive works, a kickass website, a kickass video collection and even better, an amazing level of creativity.

At the risk of being a bit repetitive, the video I left you above is an explanation of the almighty Artificial Dummies. Beautiful music and a subtle explanation on the little creatures.

Still I urge you to check out their websites. Their work is really a pleasure to watch and imagine.

Thanks a lot Andrea on the heads up! Much success!.

Bodies: The Exhibition hits Chile


 

 

For those of you who don’t know , Bodies: The Exhibition is an event created by german artist and scientist Gunther Von Hagens, where real human corpses preserved through the process of plastination are showcased to observe human anatomy at its core.
 
Yesterday I had the privilege of seeing this exhibition and even more, to see it with the lovely Paula, and without a doubt, this is a unique event.
 
With tours that go through each of the body systems, a disposition of the different body parts that allows thorough analysis of each, and assistance from young health related students; this exhibition is at first an obliged visit for anyone in the medicine field, but mostly it is an event that must be seen by anyone who wants to understand and be amazed by the wonder of the human body.
 
For further information visit Bodies’ official website.
