talking trash

Jeanne van Heeswijk’s project explores a range of personal approaches to waste through a series of short, insightful stories from residents in the rural centre of Goulburn and Liverpool in Western Sydney. Adopting a reality fiction approach, the 25 mini video clips reveal a range of unique approaches and often strongly held views on concepts of waste, personal behaviour and responsibility in a climate of consumerism, recycling and growing concern for the environment.

tv logo

as reported in ‘adformatie’ today, dutch TV station RTL 7 are launching a new identity, the new ‘VPRO’ identity is also due to launch this month (see previous post) but this one leaves me oddly feeling completely without an opinion, in fact i don’t really even feel anything when looking at this… anything at all

dazzle ships

it’s one of those historical things that most designers come across at some point: dazzle painting and designer ‘marian bantjes’ has just made her own dazzle boat, as part of a project for ‘wallpaper’ magazine which looks really beautiful
(thanks to ‘hansje’ for the tip via facebook)

my own ‘dazzle’ effort (shown here above) was a rejected proposal for a truck tarpaulin for recycled bags firm ‘freitag’, back in 2006, i still really need to do something with this one, it still looks great and is such fun to play with…
