Ok somebody prints out a 2d print and then buildings literally rise up… Is this really real? Yes, its really real. If science goes on to develop with this speed then we will find out in some 50 years that we ourselves are just a highly advanced Playstation game like for instance The Simms or Second Life. Is this going to deep? Alright! I’ll quit.

Interesting futuristic studies on new ways to visualize and experience information. Watch the embedded film to see what they came up with.

This is the action that 10 of the most famous Belgian advertising agencies took against the way competitions are organized these days by companies all over the world. Neat.

Yeehaa! British hero Nathank Fake from Border Community is playing on our own Klub Tilt on friday the 26th of march in 013, Tilburg! Also Dutch talent Applescal will be hitting the decks next to residents Guido and Jonathan. I am deejaying with my Smalltown Underground mates in the 013 Café and we (Sea Captain Plonk E) also did the design for the posters and flyers again. Many thanks go out to Tobias (model), Fina (photographer), Vio (concept and planning).
See you all there!

Brilliant satirical advert series for fashion brand French Connection. Putting such texts on fashionable photos is just a great idea. It reminds me strongly of the Unhappy Hipsters. Created by Fallon.
Thanks Wout!

“How are social media changing design? What is the value of a prototype? How are work and play merging? Where is design headed in the 21st century? “Delivered in Beta” begins a conversation on these topics and invites your participation (twitter hashtag #od10beta)”

So very much recognizable… Why is it that all clients are so afraid of the ‘fold’ in websites? Ever heard about a scrollwheel? It’s not like the early days when newspapers had to put big heads above a REAL fold to get more sales. I am Paddy proves that on internet stuff below the fold is as much important as the stuff above the fold, maybe even more important. Read for yourself.
(Thanks Vio and Mark!)

Above the winners of The Favourite Website Awards 2009. Click on the top image to experience the Apollo 11 mission and the other one to create your on videoclip. Both really great I think.

That is one of the many hilarious quotes posted on the website ‘Clients from Hell‘, a website where designers can drop quotes from, yes, clients from hell. Really, really recognizable.

This spring a documentary is coming out about the influential Swiss designer Herbert Matter (1907-1948). Above a clip of the road through literally hundereds of sketches before he got to the final logo for the New Haven Railroad company.

Very nice early graphics concerning quacks and nostrums. The word quack decends from the Dutch word kwaksalver who was a somewhat shady medicin man, back in the days. More here.

Yes, they will ride again, the DJ knights from Smalltown Underground. The party organisation which set foot on earth midway the nineties and was put to sleep a couple of years ago will show its skills another time. Legendary DJ’s Kid Lama, Romain, Rocco and our own Katarie will rock the 013 Café Lounge all night long on friday the 30th of October during Klub Tilt: Berlin Schwung. This fresh Tilburg based party crew are going german style this edition with the great Kollektive Turmstrasse as headliner.
Note Archibald Kobayashi is sponsoring Klub Tilt, Katarie is DJing there and me, Seacaptain Plonk E is responsible for their designs.
Note 2 Yes, its Ingo Oszkinat you see with his tie in the beautiful Hässelblad picture, shot by our Fina.

Remember our post on the Melbourne sharpies? On 2 minute 17, the guy above appears. This is Pete, then aged 16. He commented on our post telling us about that day and his search for his lost friends. Read his comment here.
Pete, thanks for commenting and hopefully you’ll fiend your old mates!
