dal bello

brazilian born designer ‘rejane dal bello’ was a new name to me, her work on the other hand has been posted on this blog several times in the past few years, she is currently a senior designer at ‘studio dumbar’ and responsible for a great deal of the projects they have made in the past five/six years, including the beautiful ‘amsterdam sinfonietta’ poster series

her work shows a great diversity of styles and a strong grasp of vivid colour use and expressive (illustrative) typography techniques, very impressive, see more of her portfolio here

…when a pedestrian is struck at 30mph by a vehicle, there is an 80% chance they will survive. If a pedestrian is struck at 40mph, there is a 70% chance they will die. 10mph, a seemingly subtle difference while you are behind the wheel, is the difference between life and death as a pedestrian…

wooly subversion

although the ‘wild knitting’ movement (or ‘urban knitting’) has been around for a while, it still really amuses me, the whole idea of making work that is so laborious (and non-destructive, unlike grafitti) and yet anonymously exhibited in the public arena like this, is somehow charming and subversive at the same time… like these pedestrians i came across this week complete with wooly hats
