House of Cards

Check out Radiohead's new video for House of Cards, I aint even gonna bother trying to explain how it was made i'll just quote

'No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.'

If you think the video was cool, check this out it is AMAZING trust me follow the link!

Jen Stark

Check out this cool design approach. Jen Stark has taking stacks and stacks of different coloured paper and made these cool 3D sculptures out of them. She's really made her own style, there so intricate and detailed they look like they've been made on the computer, insane!

FaulknerBrowns Architects

Here is a new identity designed for FaulknerBrowns courtesy of London based design studio A2/SW/HK. The orginal company identity was a confusing mess of too many typefaces, weights and colours. A2 decided to totally simplify the company images. The end design was based around stripping the outline of the company name and leaving only the counterforms remaining from the letters A, R, B, R, O, A and R. I think this design is very unique, clever and simple and really does prove that less is more.

who the hell is HORT

As I've just bought my booka shade ticket, who are soon to be getting their style on in stylus, I thought I would do a little review of HORT. Why? well they've designed all of booka shade's new artwork for the new album The sun and the neon light (above). I heard about them on a booka shade interview and thought I'd look them up, and I'm glad I did because these guys and girls are designing from the future! Their work is totally modern and totally amazing...

I love the new album sleeve, check out the contrast between modern typography and the older cubist sytle installation. They took elements from the typography made giant 3D models of it and then projected booka shade's faces onto it... genius!














The same style has been used to create a limited edition K-Swiss trainer which booka shade are using as a give away on their website. They've done some cool posters too, it's barely readable but it doesn't matter! They've created their own brand of booka shade. Check out more of their work here

Viva 70s reVival!

Ive always been a fan of artists who bring back older styles. Check out the video above for DVNO by Justice, Im sure you've all seen it. I think it's a great idea using the tacky 70's logo's as a theme for a music video, it really works well with the sound effects they've got running through the track too! James White is an artist I've found who also bases his work around this crazy 70's style, the kinda work that back then would have been created on the most basic apple mac computer is now being revived with a modern twist.
