What's new in Design?
March 19 2010

Hola Bisgràfic

:N*: Bisgràfic is a graphic design studio from Vic (Spain). They have already consolidated a sizable portfolio of print and media assignments. Luv the clean interface with loads of negative space and the fact that you can browsed via alternate arrow based navigation to view different views of their projects.

Simplicity always works best for users.

Wallpaper #01

:Update: New desktop wallpaper I just designed for my laptop – sized 1280 x 800. You like? I share. Get it!

UNIT (We are)

:N*: U N I T (We are, This is) is an up and coming design studio that has already under their belt a strong and diverse portfolio, mainly in art direction, print and graphic design.

AREA17 *up

:Update: Where do great talent go? At AREA17 located in both Paris and New York, is home of extra prolific creative execution master Arnaud Mercier who was listed as a design forte recipient back in 2002, (yepp that long ago).

Anyhow, they have a tagline that pretty much summarize their approach: “We believe websites can change people’s lives.. is that crazy?”

Zeitguised

:N*: Discover the strange, obscure twin of contemporary zeitgeist imagineering website. See their terrific 3D stills, photography and imagineering projects. Watch the available videos to see for yourself.

Eye candy + meta skills = Zeitguised

ODD London

:N*: They are ODD! They hail from London. This is their new portfolio website. Like the fact that when you mouseover a project screenshot, you can see a quick slide show. If you like one item it takes you to the second level while offering a quick descript before.

Made for the impatient viewer in mind.

Kim Høltermand

:N*: Ordinary turned extraordinary photography by Kim Høltermand. The colorization gives it an outworldly effect that is very poetic and somewaht surreal.

RandomWalk
Triangles

:N*: RandomWalk Triangles experiment made with processing by Guido Corallo. Because we like pretty moving colors.

Oh Yeah Studio

:N*: Introducing the beautifully original work from Oh Yeah Studio based in the Norway. Ecclectic typographic treatments mixed with hand-drawn illustrations or photography she has established a very strong portfolio. Definitely someone to watch.

Undesign

:N*: Undesign design identities. “Identity is the outward expression of a brand or a company: it includes everything, from the name to the symbol, from the visual aspects to the verbal ones. It is made up of all the elements which combine to create a strong personality and define a characteristic style, thanks to which a brand or a company is recognized and chosen by its clients.”

Their website uses javascript with nice functionalities, like closing part of a section. Like it or not?

Itty Bitty Trio

:N*: Digging the Itty Bitty Trio hand stamped necklace! Nice to share between friends or lovers. Getting two for JF and I. Will replace ampersand with the crown.. Because our LOVE rules!

Curious Displays

:N*: You have got to see this (watch the video! Julia Tsao project: Curious Displays which functions simultaneously as a form of design research and as a proposal for a new product, a future display technology.

“The project explores our relationship with devices and technology by examining the multi-dimensionality of communication and the complexity of social behavior and interaction. In its essence, the project functions as a piece of design fiction, considering the fluctuating nature of our present engagement with media technology and providing futurist imaginings of other ways of being.”

Free poster

:Update: Not attending SXSWi this year? Here’s a little token of our appreciation for being a fab audience of Netdiver Mag. Sharing with you the full page ad that appears in this year’s program book.

We make you see things poster.

Free to download, share and print.

Alternate world

:N*: Can you imagine a world that would be as this? Well Adriean Koleric aka Thinkitem does and expresses so in his ecclectic collages.

Flaunt book

:News: Flaunt: Designing effective, compelling and memorable portfolios of creative work by Bryony Gomez-Palacio and Armin Vit of UnderConsideration.

Simple, get the book (hard copy or .pdf) and study it to prepare either your very first portfolio or to weed out and refresh your current one. 41 case studies. 18 experienced designers feedback. Pertinent vendors, services, stores, materials and suppliers to help you find equivalent locally.

As Shaughnessy states: “You should never consider your portfolio finished and you should always be dissatisfied with it.. Your portfolio requires endless work.. This never changes no matter how successful you have become.”

RingKing rules!

:N*: Clever beyond clever! Usually jewellers tend to overcrowd an interface with their inventory, but RINGKING chose an altogether different direction. How about total minimalist, huge RK black letters serving as backdrop for the dropping circles encasing their gorgeous bling? Double-click an item to view large thumbnail.

That’s it! Enough interactivity, stunning products, simple nav and voilà, the recipe for a great website.

Janine Rewell

:N*: Introducing the Beyond Beauty exhibit work of illustrator (and graphic designer) Janine Rewell which is highly influenced by her homeland geographical location: Finland. Her illustrations represent an original mix of Scandinavian design and Slavic folk art.

Silence Television

:N*: Boys will be boys will be boys playing with their toys? Silence Television is Gianmarco Magnani space where he sells limited edition digital illustrations printed on premium matte 270 gm photo paper. The quality of his extraordinary realistic and detailed illos are simply jaw dropping.

This boy can play.. and draw!

They LUV design! It shows #8

:N*: They luv design! It shows! #8 We show it! Editorial design is a fascinating discipline.
Follow splendid examples to be inspired from.
