Priceless time in a busy day

These guys have an amazing idea on how to get the attention of super-busy creative directors who don’t have much time to check out student portfolios…

Two friends Laszlo Szloboda & Akos Papp focused on the very specific time in a day when creative directors are alone and willing to read just about anything – on the toilet. To show off their creative work they have created this amazing “The Toilet Book” and placed it into the bathrooms of NYC’s best agencies.

To break into advertising, we need five minutes from your busy schedule to look at our work.
Well, you have five minutes now, and let’s face it, you’re dying to ready just about anything.

In action:

Have you heard about any other alternative ways for getting attention like this? Tweet us @DIEWITHOUTART or write us on Facebook.

Light painting from the future

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

“Making Future Magic” is the goal of Dentsu London, the creative communications agency. BERG made this film with them to explore this statement. They developed a specific photographic technique for this film. Using long exposures they recorded an iPad moving through space to make three-dimensional forms in light. Each frame is a long exposure photograph of 3-6 seconds. 5,500 photographs were taken. Only half of these were used for the animations seen in the final edit of the film.

Amazing work, like the future is really here.

FEELING THE LIGHT

In photography everything is about the light, right?

I’d like to introduce you my new Flickr group “FEELING THE LIGHT“. Last month I saw so many comments as “Wow, look at that light” or “Love the light…”. So I wanted to start a collection of all those beautiful shots, hoping people will understand what I want from them. We are looking for shots with the great light, even they are taken by day or night. Every shot you adore because of the light. Beautiful sunset or awesome long-exposure ghost at dark. My friend Ana is helping me (Thank you dear!) with all those submissions, over 80 accepted so far. The group is very young, so I invite you to share your light with us, let’s feel it together.

Nadia, the camera that thinks

Unlike a conventional camera Nadia has no display of the photographs to be taken, but rather gives the judgment of aesthetic quality to the machine, displaying only a current rating as feedback about when and what to snap.

The world is full of many different new technologies and each is more or less useful. Artificial intelligence has been a topic that is approached with hope, fear, cynicism, curiousity and caution. However many intelligent devices have already been effortlessly absorbed into our culture and everyday lives. Soon we’ll see devices and systems that have the ability to think creatively and infer beauty. Maybe better then us, no? This novel little device with beautiful name Nadia improves and works its way into consumer devices, watch the video!

Realised in the Digitale Klasse under Joachim Sauter and Jussi Ängeslevä at the University of the Arts Berlin, Germany. Congratulations guys!

Digital Graffiti Wall at the Olympics

Digital graffiti wall? Wow! Guys from Chairman Ting performed at the Salt Building inside the Athlete’s Village. They were commissioned by The Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. Interesting fact is that Tangible Interaction have made this unique digital graffiti wall technology using Open Frameworks. Creative open source, for the win.

Now, artists can digitally “paint” a surface in the same way they can tag a wall with traditional spray paint.

When driving becomes writing

Owning driving license opens up many possibilities. I’ve got mine one month ago and you can call me *On the road* begginer. From now I can work on the ground, wherever I have to. But what happens when driving becomes writing? No, it’s not dangerous, do not worry it’s very creative. Two typographers Pierre and Damien and a pro race pilot Stef collaborated to design a font with a car. Sounds extreme, right?

Watch the making of iQ font, guys really done a great job.

Download the iQ font at nl.toyota.be/iqfont, it’s FREE!

What’s next?

3 Ties

We got a new “Experiment” category and 3 interesting and unusual ties which are just a concept and exists only as an image (aaaa… I’m disappointed). You recognize those prosciutto, octopus and salami textures?

Anton Repponen, an ACD/Sr. designer at Fi NY (copied from his website, what that means at all?), made them just to experiment with a pattern designs and textures.

I’d say I would never produce something like that, just because I think it’s too *kitch* and feels like “China Town Represents”.

He also said, things like that can inspire him for something new, for example the Octopus/Calamari texture turned out quite cool, and actually would be interesting to make it as a fabric pattern and already go from there.

Thank you Anton.
