Anisa Suthayalai is the creative head behind byDefault and she deserves hall of fame recognition for the quality, diversity and uber creativity demonstrated in all her projects.
Some of the clients would have been more than challenging but she pulls it with flair, gusto and elegance and a touch of humor.
Execution like in minute attention to details, differentiation, chromatics, layout and originality.
Don’t think she has it any different than any of us – the brief – the expectations – the deadline – the budget! But she seems to step up and push everything one notch ahead.
No blatant easy solutions. Just originality and originality and originality with transcending communication skills.
Look at all these pretty colors – ooops – pretty letters. Dazzling lines and typographic mixes and surfaces adding layers of somewhat vintage textures and perhaps – a bit over the board color wise – but given that all these appear and are installed in urban environments – possibly the right dose – to kick your day into full speed.
Brought to you by the incredibly talented Studio Myerscough.
Loretta Lux is a german photographer whose each picture may take up to 3 months to complete. At first glance, you might mistake these works for paintings. Like prototypes, the children have alabaster skin, porcelain bodies, a penetrating stare, composure, fragility and an aura of ethereal radiance.
Her work bonds three media: photography, painting and digital effects.
A sneak preview of the staging area for the Little People concept / project I will be working on for the next 2 weeks. Played w/ some props and done a couple preliminary shoot for proportion, details, lighting etc. via iPhone before shooting w/ my Fuji x10.
I’ve written / storyboarded about 18 potential vignettes so far. Psyched about materializing my miniature world.
Stay foolish – stay inspired!
