"Everything is designed. Few things are designed well." - Brian Reed

READ DESCRIPTION FIRST There was this really polite guy in the bus, blocking my way out. As he wasn’t reacting to my several “Excuse me’s” I tapped his arm and he finally moved aside with the words “Yea, you don’t need to touch me.” Outside the bus many different possibilities of how I could’ve reacted came to my mind. You got any suggestions?

Da war dieser nette Kerl im Bus, der meinen Weg nach draußen blockierte. Da er nicht auf meine „Entschuldigen Sie“ reagierte, tippte ich ihm auf den Arm und er ließ mich schließlich gewähren mit den Worten „Ja, du brauchst mich nicht anzutatschen.“ Draußen kamen mir viele verschiedene Ideen, wie ich hätte reagieren können. Irgendwelche Vorschläge?

Japan x Google Pixel by Jvstin Bechard

This year I decided to travel to Japan during my vacation and experiment photography with the Google Pixel. Japan is a graphically beautiful country with all its lights and signs throughout the streets. I took photos around various cities that you will discover later. I edited my pictures on the Pixel too with the Google Snapseed application. It was an amazing trip and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did with the images below.

MANTRA by Viscera Vicarious

It has been intense months of hard work and project development, finding the time between days and nights have been an important factor for the development of this piece, one, that has taken me several months to conclude. On the one hand the application of color, which has always been a challenge for me, but on the other hand, and more importantly, the evolution and conceptual changes it has undergone in the process. This piece started, like some others, as the result of sessions of meditation and personal insight. The mantras and symbols that have accompanied me in the most recent time have served as the main source of inspiration behind each and every stroke. At the moment I find myself developing some projects that are outside the graphic field, however, this piece has given me the starting point to work on a series of illustrations that will make up my second and more ambitious book. I share this mantra with you. The best omens for all.

Sør-Helgeland by Kristofer Haugvik

This project is a visual exploration of the picturesque scenery of Sør-Helgeland, the southernmost district in northern Norway. I have a strong connection to this region, as both of my parents grew up here. And for every summer vacation, ever since I was born, this place have been our primary destination.

A First Look at DISTANT Gameplay

We’ve said that in DISTANT, you’ll be rescuing dreamscapes from destruction. That it will be an experience meant to capture the elegance of movement. A story set in a fantastical, colourful universe. Beyond that, though, we’ve kept the details about this mysterious new game close to our chest. Until now. 

Shown off privately at this year’s Game Developers Conference, and debuted publicly at the first ever Tribeca Games Festival, here is a first-ever glimpse of DISTANT gameplay. 

Sun-drenched and placid above the surface, with an ancient darkness lurking beneath, this world is just one of the many you’ll traverse as you unravel DISTANT’s secrets. What are the giant beasts lumbering in the distance? Who is the powerful cloaked traveler you’re guiding? And what exactly are those glowing, ethereal shards?

Some questions are better left unanswered, for the time being.

But so much more is on the horizon for DISTANT, and we’d love for you to follow along on the road to release.

Brand Identity for Hidden Characters by Re|

“‘Hidden Characters’ is a reference to the unseen typographic symbols in programs such as InDesign and Microsoft Word. These symbols shape how text appears in the same way that Hidden Characters works behind the scenes to carefully shape public perceptions of its clients’ brands. Brand applications play on the relationship between the seen and unseen using techniques such as French folded paper with text concealed inside, and clear gloss printing that renders text invisible in certain light.”

Re| is a strategic brand consultancy that sees brands as living, breathing entities that constantly evolve in response to the world around them. At Re| they use a process of ongoing iteration to enable our clients’ brands to adapt as new business and cultural opportunities present themselves. We believe brands are always in beta.
