Paper Dolls by Estudio 401
“We dive into a utopian world with futuristic hair and eyes that indicate the end of the world. We finally decide to wear clothes of newsprint and in the name of globalization used, Asian designs. But first, we make a stop in Africa with earth tones and then finish back in the modernization of flowers and geometric shapes cut with scissors kamikaze.
Artistic collaboration project carried out as part of a series of works to promote the idea of recycling and sustainable design.”

“Low-Rise is a precarious assemblage of thousands of free-standing stacks of staples densely tessellated to create a city-like mosaic. Like a city, the staples are subject to the elements, on a micro scale. The slightest breath or vibration and the domino effect kicks in.” by Peter Root.

Trust Economies: Investigation into the New ROI of the Web by Julien Smith and Chris Brogan
“If You Build It, They Won’t Come What happened to the early days? You built a baseball stadium, a store, a web app, and people flocked to it… now what? We are suspicious of marketing. We don’t trust strangers as willingly. Buzz is suspect. It can be bought. Instead, consumers and business people alike are looking towards trust. We want our friends to tell us it’s good. We want someone we know to say we should look into it. Marketing spend might start at awareness, but in the Trust Economy, communities are king, and ROI stands for Return on Influence.”
If you’re interested on expanding your knowledge as to why ‘Reputation is all’ get this new released book:

“Artists, designers and illustrators are doing it for themselves! Tough times often lead to greater creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.”
Sooo beautiful, minimalist and yet emotional, this poster was created by Emil Ruder “(1914–1970), Swiss typographer and graphic designer, who with Armin Hofmann helped to found the Basel School (Schule für Gestaltung Basel) and a graphic style known as the Swiss Style.”
Thinking for a Living has published A Brief History of Emil Ruder. “To know where we’re going, we’ve got to understand where we’ve been.”
More of his posters here at 80magazine.
