Storytelling is one of the most used and abused term nowadays. You must engage readers/consumers/visitors/viewers with innovative, emotional and sometimes shocking stories to get them hooked at your "product" it is an ongoing mantra among marketers and advertiser. It is not the "product" itself but it is the emotional liason that is important and has [...]
Sometimes it happens that I shoot pictures, I save them on a hard drive and then I forget where I have saved them. Result: pictures are lost for a long long time, until the day I discover the lost folder while searching for something else. These images date back 2012. I shot them while visiting [...]
Two years ago I visited Artefiera Bologna for the first time. I was marveled by the creativity exposed and was really excited to be able to see all that creativity from very very close. During the last two years I was very lucky to have given the possibility to become an art student. It is [...]
A very touching sci-fi story, wonderfully directed by Jesse Atlas, RECORD/Play is short movie that won several international prizes and participated at the Sundance Festival 2013.
Last winter I attended an art course where the main subject was painting (which I discovered I do not like that much, but I will talk about it in a later post) together with photography and sculpture. Actually the sculpture module was a very short one, but I was the one I enjoyed most, in [...]
I am a SIGG addicted, therefore when I discovered this SIGG contest on Talenthouse I could not help myself from submitting "something". Being not good at using Photoshop and other graphic design software, I decided to keep it simple. Very simple. And do something by hand - actually, I grabbed my SIGG bottle wrapped in [...]
I am starting to use Pinterest as a source of inspiration. It is not that well known in Italy, but I am sure that its popularity will raise during 2012 even in my "very Facebook addicted" country. Anyway, browsing this new cool social newtork I have found a video showing a performance sand art performer [...]
I was searching for inspiring examples of great storytelling applied to social responsibility - and I have found some which are very good but up to date, the Get Closer ad - which dates back March 2011- is still my favorite one. Pro Infirmis is a Swiss organization that helps people with disabilities. For their Get [...]
I bet you have already seen these wonderful Pantone tarts everywhere - they are the last artwork of Emilie Guelpa, a French art director with an incredible taste 🙂 and passion for food! These Pantone tarts were designed for an article on the French magazine Fricote, but if you check her blog you will find [...]
At first sight I said to myself: "Mmm...the usual boring classic art". Then I took a closer look and ...WOW! Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo. His densely composited pen and ink illustrations contain thousands of whimsical characters that are drawn almost completely improvised.
I have always found quilling not that interesting, a "pseudo" form of art loved by old folks. Well, this is what I have been thinking until two days ago, when I saw Yulia's works. Actually, I had already seen one of her project - Coin's 2010 Christmas in Wonderland advertising campaign- but I thought it was [...]
Thanks to IwantTOrideMYbicycle for sharing this! Click on the image and enjoy Stickman!
I have always thought of Flickr as a community of photography lovers. To my great surprise I have also found great art projects not photography related such as Book of Art. I have been unable to find other information about the project elsewhere - but I will keep you updated. In the meanwhile, enjoy these [...]
I found this project by Chacho Puebla exhilarating and interesting, and I share Chaco's thoughts when he says "As my son gets older and I get more grey hair, I wonder what kind of advice will I give to my grandkids". If I were Chacho I would have called this project Instagrandma!
Just watch the video about the making of Hero, an amazing 3.2 million ink dots masterpiece by Miguel Endara and get inspired.
The concept is quite simple: together with Sainsbury’s supermarket chain in the UK, Innocent are donating 50p from every smoothie sold to charity Age Concern to help keep older people warm for the winter. How it works The hats are knitted by knitters up and down UK, sent to Innocent HQ, counted and handpacked onto the [...]
Put Yourself in Their Shoes is a series of ‘social posters’ by Irish graphic designer Christopher Scott. Inspired by the works of Stefan Sagmeister, Christopher blends elements of nature, man-made objects and certain props to deliver a strong typographical statement. Sometimes thought-provoking and sometimes shocking, these posters aim to stir-up the audience and bring them face-to-face with [...]
Just curious to know if any of you are able to actually play with this great visual and interactive experiment by Honda. I am not - but I still love the concept, the visual, and the "Making of" Video (this last gave me some clues about how to play with the interactive game and showed [...]
Simply wonderful - have a great week!
