This is the logo that Michael C. Place designed for the documentary ‘Objectified‘ by Gary Hustwit. Maybe you’ve heard about Gary’s pervious documentary ‘Helvetica‘ about graphic design and typography. This time the subject is industrial design. Unfortunately we’ll have to wait till early 2009 to see Jonathan Ive, Marc Newson or Dieter Rams on the big screen. The production stills on the website for sure look promising.
A slow moving shadow is created by 300 computer-controlled halogen lamps hung above a translucent fabric ceiling in the entrance corridor of the Frieze Art Fair, 80 x 4 x 2.40 m. The shadow moves along the corridor connecting the main entrance to the interior of the fair at varying intensities, dimensions and intervals.
I never understood why those streetwear kids leave those stickers on their hats. Do they want to show of the size of their head? I guess Evan Roth aka fi5e thinks the same.
This is just a detail from Sarena Huizinga’s graduation collection called ‘Illusion Of Control’, inspired by fear of stains. I guess the wearer of these gloves can’t make her hands dirty.
This amazing house is located in Cape Schanck, Victoria, Australia and it was designed by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects.

Tonight is the premiere of the second season of Mad Men. Yeah! If you live in the USA at least. But if you want to catch up and see the first season, then you’ll have to get this DVD box.
For those of you don’t know what Mad Men is all about:
The series (set in the 1960s) revolves around the conflicted world of Don Draper, the biggest ad man (and ladies man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. The series also depicts authentically the roles of men and women in this era while exploring the true human nature beneath the guise of 1960s traditional family values.
