When we go to a music show in a big stadium to see, let just say, Kanye West. We go to see him, but in fact we are watching serval artist. There are artist whose name we never heard, but are always showing their work to a big audience. In this case we see the work of Es Devlin, a stage designer.
Her work ranges from concerts, opera, theatre to musicals. You can see het set designs in shows as Blaze, Kanye West and Lady Gaga. Just take a look at her designs. It truly makes the shows a real experience, so much more than just a background or wallpaper.
It’s no secret we like good looking thing. We also like music and good looking thing combined. This video is an example what can be achieved with some creative coding. Wonderful hand drawn audio responsive video exploration, as the author describes this piece of work.
We have already shown a example of how magazines can turn out on the iPad. So here is a bit more worked out version of the format. Hence part 2 of Future of Magazines.

When it comes to magazines we just like regular old print. With a the feel and smell of paper isn’t something you can easily reproduce on a digital touch screen. Nevertheless it’s quite interesting how you can up a new format for a new device. This video explains clearly how you can make the best use of the iPad, to create a new kind of format for a digital magazine.
Practical use of video mapping. People can redesign the color and texture of the kitchen via a touch interface. Using two HD-beamers the kitchen changes in the desired settings.

Besides that their approach is very useful and effective to the creative industry we love their products like Action Method and ‘The 99% conference’ too. Today we bought the book, which gives very clear and powerful insides on well…making ideas happen. We are quit curious what unfolds…
While checking out some portfolio’s there can be some quite surprising stuff. Like this work by insects. Using the technical capabilities of openFrameworks the insects take control of the canvas. This work is executed over at Edhv, check out their work http://www.edhv.nl/

Viv magazine created this interactive spread for the Ipad. Could this be the future for magazines?
We think it’s got some real potential and we love to see more interactive/moving fashion shoots.
Designer Alex Cornell wondered what would happen if he redesigned Playboy magazine and made it something that you would actually ‘read for the the articles’. This resulted in an extensive imaginary redesign which to us looks pretty damn good. Read the rest of this entry »
