santa delivered a really funky personailsed ‘me’ stamp this year, courtesy of the wife and made by our friend/designer ‘masaaki oyamada’, check out the restof his stuff here: one stamp in a day, many thanks!
ringing the bells of change
fascinating pitch film made by mister ‘saul bass’ to present his new corporate identity for ‘bell telecom’ to the board of directors
the embed function doesn’t work very well so see here to watch the 24 minute long video, worth a watch… as ‘garech stone’ (who sent me the link) pointed out, this kind of presentation (and wry humour) beats a keynote show anyday… the revamp for bell was the biggest rebranding of its kind ever including 135,000 vehicles and 22,000 buldings amongst many other things..
they transfer
a campaign for DHL courier service, on the ‘we transfer’ channel: smart idea from my old agency FHV BBDO
kitchen portraits
back in 2008-2009 photographer ‘eric klein wolterink’ made a series of clinical images of kitchens of amsterdam residents, the panorama-like images are composites made of separate images, in each case enough as were necessary to capture the entire plane of cupboards and drawers
closer inspection reveals a plethora of vanishing points & odd disjointed perspectives within each image, the series can also be viewed in (zoomable) detail here and the collection was also published in a book designed in 2011 by hans gremmen
