In the northeast corner of Vancouver, the Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood unfolds with a charming mix of shops, restaurants and single-family homes, many designed in the 1920s Craftsman style. As one of the city’s oldest communities, much of its architecture dates to the post-WWI era, when the area experienced a population boom. One such example is Sir Matthew Begbie Elementary School, built in 1922.

The Botswana-based furniture designer, founder of Mabeo Studio , pays homage to the intricate lace crochet techniques perfected by South African women during the 1900s. Lesire , which means “wedding veil” in Tswana, refers to a textile known for its distinctive scallop edged detail.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

If two MTA cars collided, the result would be catastrophic. But that’s not so in the latest animation from Argentinian director Fernando Livschitz. Like his previous films that twist the mundane into the bizarre, “ Pillow Fight ” reimagines ordinary fixtures of the urban landscape as billowing cushions. Yellow taxis, an elevated walkway, and even buildings get an uncanny, padded upgrade as they crash into one another to harmless effect.
