me news

it’s not a particularly eye-catching or innovative piece of design, but that’s precisely why i think it caught my attention… this film poster has an honesty to it which seems to be lacking in many of the over-airbrushed, formulaic designs on offer these days…
days with my father
a really touching personal project and book from photographer philip toledano
‘out of office’ stuff
i’ve been invited to do portfolio viewings during the forthcoming career day for students vroaam! at the end of march, later in the afternoon ‘PANL’ have invited photographer ‘ruud baan’ and i to do a brief talk on the way we collaborate as a team on projects…
the upcoming design event in amsterdam, organised by the ‘designpolitie’ has updated it’s website, although there’s still no news on ticket sales… and finally i have been invited to re-join the selection committee for the dutch design awards this year, i’m currently looking around for the best projects from the past year, if anyone would care to share stuff which they feel is worthy of an award please get in touch, it’s a tough job with so much quality on offer…
chalk dust
some beautiful chalk type murals from dana tanamachi, nice to think that so much work goes into something that is so temporary… (via ‘fontanel’)
