The above video, produced by Boym Partners, shows a carefully choreographed interpretation of world events in the century’s past. Major disasters; great achievements all executed on a masterfully played chess board. Each piece represents a certain moment in history, for better or worse.
Not sure how I feel about the outcome, or the presentation for that matter, but I thought it was worth a look.

The following are slides from an elevator installation piece from The Standard Hotel, NYC.
The artist, Marco Brambilla, combined video clips and snippets from a wide variety of movies to make one large scrolling work, which is projected onto a series of glass dividers in the hotel and elevator. The video, entitled “Civilization,” scrolls vertically while individual elements play throughout.

Here’s a great interview about the changing perceptions of design in today’s economic climate. No longer considered an “extra, unnecessary cost” to clients, this new approach to what design adds or takes away from the saleability of goods and services will hopefully strengthen the presence of good design and remove aspects of less-than-ideal design practices.

What does Layer Tennis even mean?
Design talent from across the globe competes in a one-on-one, no holds barred, live action design contest, whereby participants are given a topic, and then compete by sending a working file back and forth in fifteen minute increments, or “volleys.”
Content ranges from video production to old-fashioned illustration. Participants are limited only by time. All content is appropriate, as long as it can be created in fifteen minutes. Winners are determined based on not only their creative brawn, but also their message and the cleanliness of each round’s delivery. Trash talking is preferred.

Design at its most basic is a study in contrast, chiaroscuro, light and shadow, positive and negative space. And technology, stretching back to the first photo flipbook, has been mobilized in the pursuit of diachronic design — images portraying motion over time.
In other words, something like the most excellent black and white DVDs from Wee See.

My professional creative career began in 1994 with my interest in journalism layout design. I was originally hired by a local newspaper for advertising design, then moved into infographics, photography and eventually, page layouts.
