the new big

a smart new commercial in the netherlands for ethical bank ‘triodos’, made by my good friends from ‘dawn’… i find it hard to remember the last time a bank said anything worth hearing, except perhaps the previous commercial by ‘triodos’…

it’s been said all over the place on dutch blogs during the past weeks; once again: congratulations guys, great (small) work…

here is the original dutch version

outcast editions

a series of interactive digital books on contemporary residential architecture designed by (former ‘8vo’ partner) ‘hamish muir’

the books contain a mix of photographs, video and architectural drawings combined in a slick, monochromatic touchscreen interface; i havent tried them yet so can’t really comment on the experience or content as yet… ‘unit editions’ have also recently interviewed hamish

dutch posters #2


following on from yesterdays’ poster post: hereby another selection of the archive dutch posters i came across in the ‘tin’ archives last week… firstly at the top a fairly recent design from ‘herman van bostelen’ whose work i admire very much, shown here below an anarchic collage poster from ‘frits hartingsveldt’


here above a rather odd poster from 1976 featuring swastikas and bare asses and a ‘punk attitude’ before it’s time , for author ‘jan cremer’ promoting a record release

visual representations of information, data or knowledge

IdN magazine have recently released a special on information graphics, will we ever tire of bar charts with funky colours and wave patterns or cool icons explaining how everything works? or doesn’t work, probably not…

those on a limited budget can have a decent peek right here
