A fascinating community created by recent Art Center grad, Marian Chiao. Each project is like an inspirational way to re-think, re-work, re-design, re-view, and re-set your daily design routine. The tasks range from mundane to wildy imaginative. I can’t wait to see this take off. Smile, it’s only Tuesday :)
A while back I stumbled upon the work of Sandy Karman. This young Indonesian designer is well on his way to becoming Indonesia’s first AGI member. Nice1.

The name thoroughly explains the appeal of NYC-based design firms. Established is an architecture and graphic design firm that can sculpt a business from the ground up. I never knew how comprehensive of a project a salon design could be. I wish I had had a chance to cop one of those Bar Milano matchboxes!
Fumio Tachibana is a former Tokyo TDC winner who wonderfully crafts typographic beauty from scraps, scraps, scraps. Read his excitement and passion for the typographic form here:
My room is covered with piles of old newspapers. I had not realized how many of them had accumulated; it is now a melee of thousands of newspaper headlines gathered from countries far and near where those newspapers were read and then thrown away. I pick up fragments of text and transform them into new characters. Sometimes these new characters are used to make up the title of a poem. As usual, today I am buried in this dream island of old newspapers and I rummage through them randomly looking for bits I might use. Whenever I see something I like, I just rip it out and paste it along with others to create new characters. There I have another one finished; “Appreciation, Emotion, Rain, Hail.”

Thanks to the french blog la cuisine du graphiste (in english : the graphic designer’s kitchen), While reading la cuisine du graphiste (the Graphic Designer’s Kitchen) I discovered that the great japanese interior design firm Wonderwall updated their website! With the help of Yugo Nakamura, the infamous creative director, designer and engineering explorer all forms of interactive expression in digital and networked environment.
The result is a very unsual but simple website, presented as a wall of pictures from their projects. The picutres react as you run your mouse over. The little sounds that react simultaneously with each user action are really great! Despite the forms being cubic, the interaction reminds me of the fluid movement of water as you skim the surface! Kitsune Noir explains this intriguing website in an agreeably accurate way. Have fun!
