/ Surfacing the creative culture
since '98

Allison H. Aver

Allison Henry Aver, is a creative director and her portfolio is like a dream come true for any aspiring designer. She previously oversaw print to web of Vogue.com.

_______

And now, she is rocking it and putting her stamp on Kate Spade + Saturday brand, from packaging to with interactive designs. And doing a great job at it!

Guts & Glory

Guts & Glory self-describe their agency as: courage, vigor, character, oomph. Wow – I like that. The core values right off the index. Using the ‘volume’ as navigation – you are brought into a kitschy retro-feely world.

_______

Founded in 2012 by ginger partners in crime, Meg Paradise & Faun Chapin, they came up with an outrageous product.

Helvetica The Perfume, a limited edition project (sic) and yes the bottle is filled with.. distilled water.

They even had the ‘guts’ to post the Lovers & Haters page. Worth a read.

Formagramma?

One of my favorite blogs: Formagramma which covers design and architecture. I love the quality of the curated items. There is passionate dedication.

Check one of the posts to see what I’m talking about.

High-voltage Raduga

Is it too passé to describe Raduga website as having lots and lots of ‘bells & whistles’?? And lots and lots of transitions + colours. Point made??

Experts in the field of multimedia and technical support for events of any scale.

From Russia with love.

Fuzzco revised

At first thought something was awry in the new Fuzzco – just relaunched website – which scrolls up and down – on itself. Not sure if that is a good UI/UX decision, but it sure got my attention.

And the projects? Still stunning.

Have a lookee.

Tonangeber remixes

You’ve never seen a remixes website such as Tonangeber – a project by Ani and Beda. They make playlists and share them for free. Stunning project using generative design.

And a as stunning collection of music.

A sample of the shapes.

_______

Remixes covers.

_______

LP vinyl covers.

_______

ndlr: TwoPoints.Net designed a flexible visual system which allows to design a new cover for each playlist. The visual system – the “Supertool” was custom-made with Processing.
