A Beautiful Mess
AUGUST 20, 2017
I have been receiving a lot of of requests for a review on my Fujifilm X-T2. As some of you may know, I’ve had progressively nicer Canon SLR cameras since I was switched over from film (augh! yes- I used to shoot film exclusively as a necessity and not a novelty). I went through three or four (can’t remember for sure) models in over the past decade and I absolutely love those cameras!

Written by Telepathy Design Manager, Brad Soroka, this article originally appeared on the Trello blog. There’s never been a better time in history to search out and uncover creative inspiration. In fact, the internet is uniting us like never before: it’s giving us all information overload. Regardless which professional field you’re in, access to (and accelerated growth of) online sources of ideas makes it even harder and more necessary to stay on top of trends, industry news, and more.

The ocean of ideas, teeming with words and numbers, is underpinned by a vast tectonic plate that’s powerfully transforming the language. It’s the force that gives rise to new continents of meaning, while it inters the remains of countless extinct species. We know its name, but we rarely think about it, and we certainly never visit. It’s just there, helping to clarify our words and numbers in an invisibly supportive way.

Intro to the rebrand. Last week we launched the most complex rebrand we’ve ever done. We infamously put this project off for many years, due to the energy and resources that would be required to do it right. This wasn’t solely a new website and logo, this rebrand included a new direction with our company name and much of our design/brand system. At the same time, it had to embody where we came from and how we’ve evolved over the last 16 years.

Contributed by James Edmondson. These shorts, involving Jack Stratton of Vulfpeck being filmed and interviewed by designer Rob Stenson , give me more joy than any large scale fonts usage ever will. Each of the videos presents creative use of type, video editing, and various effects to tell the story. Although the series largely receives recognition because of Stratton’s encyclopedic knowledge of funk and pop tunes from sixties through the eighties, Stenson’s typographic explorations

Firstly, imagine being asked by Alexa Chung to design her clothing brand identity - dreamy! Designed by Studio Frith , one of our long-standing favourite agencies who are obviously well known for their work with Frieze Art Fair. Alexa Chung's new identity is a cute but strong, typographically-led brand. The initial mark is a capital A merging with an upside-down C to create the brand initials.

In the last few posts we discussed combat art from World War I. In the comments, a lot seemed to depend on the fact that these artists, whether illustrators or "fine" artists, were first-hand witnesses to the trauma of war. The personal ordeals of these artists seemed to give their work an authenticity. In some cases, it pushed the artist to abandon traditional artistic techniques and flail around for new methods of communication.

Did fine artists and illustrators react differently to World War I? Many historians believe that World War I changed the path of fine art. In the years leading up to the war, art had already begun to explore modernism and the industrial age. But no one was prepared for the way scientific progress changed the nature of war: the invention of the tank, air warfare, the development of poison gas, and mass killings that didn't discriminate between combatant and civilian-- these were just the tip of t

This is the cover of yesterday's New York Times magazine: The NYT explained its goal for the cover: "Like all great athletes, Roger Federer makes the impossible look easy. So we decided to go with an action shot that captures his grace and dynamism." My dictionary doesn't recognize these uses of the terms, "action" and "dynamism." To me the freeze frame photo of Federer hovering in air looks inert and static.

For me, the work of Harry Townsend was among the most impressive art in the Smithsonian's exhibition of World War I art. Townsend wrote in his war diary, "Only those near to it all can know what endurance and suffering that was." He was thankful to be there in the battles of the Marne, and of St. Mihiel, and the Meuse-Argonne, for the "impressions, spiritual and material, that alone can furnish the inspiration for a convincing pictorial record.
