Hasta La Creative!

Rachel Krueger é uma designer que manda muito bem na combinação de tipografia e cultura pop. Seus projetos geralmente unem os dois elementos, seja em uma animação com suas falas favoritas de  Sam em O Senhor dos Anéis – As Duas Torres, músicas que já se tornaram clássicas, desenhos da Pixar ou ainda o mundo dos super-heróis. Em seu projeto mais recente, entretanto, ela criou pôsteres com frases que marcaram a trajetória da série Friends.

É impossível não olhar para essa série e sorrir ao nos lembrarmos do contexto em que elas foram ditas. Destaque especial para Smelly Cat, que ficou perfeita.

Aqui, um bônus dos alguns trabalhos de Rachel que citamos no começo deste texto:

No ar em sua terceira temporada, Game of Thrones acaba sendo alvo de algumas brincadeiras e montagens, algumas mais saudáveis do que as outras. Aqui no B9, a gente tem mostrado alguns exemplos do que tem sido feito e este post é para incluir mais dois itens na lista. O primeiro é o Tumblr Joffrey Bieber, dedicado a inserir a cabeça de Justin Bieber no corpo do jovem e insuportável rei Joffrey. Qualquer semelhança é mera coincidência… ou não. Há algumas semanas, mostramos aqui como seria a abertura de Game of Thrones se a série tivesse sido exibida nos anos 1990. Agora, ainda no século XX, a guerra dos tronos recebe a roupagem mais amistosa de Friends. Antes de dar o play abaixo, é preciso alertar que há alguns spoilers, mas nada demais para quem já acompanha a história.

Super digital artist and new found friend Chris Haines has just dropped a fresh new dope website with flawless works as always.

Be sure to drop by and spread the word!

After a long time in the making, The KDU is finally back online and bigger than ever. We now hold a collective website to showcase the very best of the KDU’s work in a well balanced, beautifully planned and direct way.

It’s been 5 long years put together in one place for you to see the highlights of what’s been going down in the KDU trenches. HOTTTTT STUFF!

We’ll also be having our own personal blogs soon so keep your eyes open for any new intel.

TRUST

Good friend Alex Haigh, A.K.A. Thinkdust finally dropped a personal project that’s been in the making for quite some time now.

HypeForType is a digital type foundry featuring typefaces made by some of the hottest artists and designers out there. Names such as Alex Trochut, Si Scott and Jon Burgerman are only a few of the giants in the line-up.

The idea, the approach, the website, everything’s top quality and sure to cause a buzz in the upcoming days.

Be sure to drop by and get yourself some type goodness.

Today, after a couple months of organizing, programming and designing, a brand new project of mine sees the light of day: LaMalla.cl

LaMalla (or TheGrid) is born as a simple blog between friends, a bit of a programming experiment, a place for us to showcase those who inspire us and should continue to inspire even more people.

The idea is fairly simple, a dynamic grid with customizable contents that fit your browser for best viewing of the content.

We’re of course a spanish-speaking website. But if you’d like to contribute to our project and think language should be no barrier, then hit us up at hello@lamalla.cl and we’ll see what we can do so you too can be part of the family.

Of course we’ve been running several tests these last few days, but there’s always a few loose ends. So if you happen to come across some dead end, please don’t hesitate to let us know at feedback@lamalla.cl.

Of course any comments, opinions, critics, etc, are always welcome.

Cheers!.

Fresh homie Magomed Dovjenko (A.K.A. the drippy fella :D), just dropped a major site revamp with 37 fresh new works for a whole bunch of A-list clients.

Go show some love.

Big up my mayne.

Good friend / black & white genius Josh Vanover, A.K.A. SpaceKnuckle, just dropped by to let us know he’s got some new works and a new site for us to worship.

Long live the king.

Down at the Keystone Design Union headquarters everyone is always busy with the pile of work that keeps on coming in, however, good ol’ coleague David Harris (A.K.A. SON) has been taking the time to interview a few of our family’s featured members.

So far he’s gotten his chat on with Neil Duerden, Nelson Balaban and more recently Pawel Nolbert.

Pretty cool interviews to get to know and see what different members from around the globe are up to.

Stay sharp for interviews to come down at the KDU global news site.

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.
