Sideshow Press

Sideshow Press is a daring little letterpress factory in Charleston, SC. Founded in 2004, they craft projects on in-house, vintage presses, and have a penchant for inking out-of-the-ordinary materials.

Love their website (and products).

_______

A full-service print shop for some of the finest indie designers and design houses in the field.

Pocket Operator(s)

Another brilliant product by Teenage Engineering. Presenting the Pocket Operator(s).

_______

Experience a fresh new way to creat music using your thumbs – pocket size – animated graphics – real synthesizer engines, sync, punch-in effets to make electronic music.

PO-12 -> rhythm – drum

NYC Subway

New York City subway grid is complex and one could easily get lost in transit – sorta speaking. Love the series of Subway Diagram by Vignelli Associates.

Full map – simplified.

_______

Wall mounted.

Wolf & Son

A new branding project created for Wolf & Son, a new label of men’s footwear proudly enhanced by a junior line. The moodboard pictures are masculine and sustain the craft and products.

A simple grid – effective website + classic identity. And that junior line shoes, rock!

_______

Blank – is a design studio located in Porto / PT – worked closely with the label to write its brand story and design its global visual communication.

Phonebloks?

Following a discussion around this news and appalling infographic: Here’s where Apple really makes money by Jay Yarow and Skye Gould and related manufacturing scandals..

_______

I was pointed to – and am blown away – by not a small measure: Phonebloks <- please watch the video -> whereas Dave Hakkens built a ‘prototype’ of a modular mobile phone – aiming to prevent part waste.

An eco-friendly device.

_______

His idea was not to start a new phone company – but to inspire existing ones to consider this innovative route.

A large group of supporters the world around – are vested in making it happen. So if you’re a developer – a hacker – a mover – and want to shake the mobile scene – perhaps a project to consider supporting – collaborating with.

_______

Lapka x Project Ara – now being developed by Google – who are always ready to invest in ‘good’ ideas – exemplifies via photography and words – step by step of each components. Amazing.

Worlds by / PR

Listening to synthpop kid genius – Porter Robinson – who is 22! He is soooo good – there is refinement – depth – amazing vocals and arrangement.

_______

His Worlds album (we bought – and playing full blast <- ok not full blast -> but loud) – is sooo good. Soundcloud <- loads of tracks + 2h BBC show.
