PSDG Creative is an internal group working across the disciplines of video, motion graphics, illustration, sound and digital framework. There are five teams within the whole group; music, sound, visual arts, fabrication and creative. I find this corporate identity very successful. Every little detail represents the five divisions as part of one coherent mark, a pentagon. Also the designer made different colour palettes for each division. This looks great.









DNB is a Norwegian bank. The main idea behind the long line of the letter N is to represent the characteristic of DNB as being a bank that stretches all along the coast from North to South. The company welcomes you as a customer, creates a line, a bond between itself and its customers. The long line really serves its function in a great way, the typeface, the minimalism are the tools to emphasize, again, the line.






These cement figures dangling from umbrellas inside the EBC office centered in Prague are part of an installation titled 'Slight Uncertainty' by artist Michal Trpak. These people hanging from the ceiling look absolutely amazing. They are made in a way that so elegant that they do not strain our eyes, they are simply joyful to look at.



Lovely Damien Hirst.



New year is on our door. Hope 2013 will be better than 2012 in ways of serenity, happiness and joy. Would like to put some presents under the world's largest Christmas tree, Stockholm.

The letterhead, the business card, the envelope are ready. There is still some work left to do on the folder. These days, i am struggling to come up with something heart warming as a christmas gift. I am thinking about making a box which has a tabloid wish list looking like a restaurant menu, a room odor which emphasizes the glamour and comfort, a CD covering christmas songs, a tiny little bottle of champagne with two little champagne glasses. I actually made the box but right now it looks pretty big, i guess i am gonna divide the pieces into two layers to make the box a bit smaller. The main colors will be red and white. I am also planning to use cotton velvet and gold color to translate the glamour of christmas spirit.

The wishlist will be something like this if i get the approval for it, of course;

These are pretty manimalistic and pretty fantastic. The second one actually won a prize from Design International for the Graphic Design of the Day. There is a strong sense based on classical modernism, representing some action or feeling.

This personal branding design is again very minimalistic. White and black stripes turn the corporate identity into a refined label. Less is definitely more.







Risking life, Belgian street artist Strook made this impressive drawing titled Metropolis inspired by Lang's 1927 film. The drawing was done entirely with white marker inside the concrete building in Bruges, Belgium. Because of the changing light patterns during the day the piece looks as if was done in black when viewed opposite a light source. Looking beautiful.

This work is the branding for a new photography resource. I think the general concept is pretty catchy and active like the art of photography itself. The arrangement is simple so that you can find whatever you like very easily and look at it clearly.





Luminous exploration into shade. The initiative here is to bring a breathless animal to life, in western civilization, light usually represents life. So the designer decided to use shade as main un-material instead, in order to create a paradoxical approach to life. Apart from the main idea, it does look visually really appealing.






These days in va 444, we are making some trials on glitch art. So i am going through some examples of it quite some time. At first the whole concept looks very complex and simply ugly but these examples ,which i found on behance,are the proof that glitch art can be beautiful. I am amazed to see that playing with pixels, changing the datas and the codec of a file can result this good.



This is simply lovely.

This innovative store is designed for 2012 London Olympics. Store looks absolutely amazing. When a client gets in, there's no doubt that he/she will enjoy the general atmosphere which was created through patterns and contrast of colors. Purity and transparency of white is in perfect harmony with bold red.It provides an amazing contrast between historic architecture with cutting-edge digital sport products and experiences.

I picked those from the final work of x-presion. I do like a lot their style, they somehow manage to combine the mystery, elegance and a sense of tension. The outcome is pretty much always brings us original and intriguing photographs.







Using modified parts from an old pinball machine, the artist creates one of a kind drawing device that utilizes standard flippers to control a ink-covered sphere that moves across a temporary poster placed on the game surface. It's a freaking original idea to use a pinball machine to draw, i think the outcome could be much more fascinating with lots of color and different technics. 








These animal head illustrations are looking pretty charming to the eye. They are in a geometrical form and look a bit complex at first glance but i think they are cleverly made.




 Dutch artist Berndnaut Smilde has developed a way to create a small perfect cloud in the middle of a room. It lasts only moments but these moments are held forever, its effect is very dramatic and strangely moving. It also reminds me a bit of Magritte.
