in , , , , , , ,

"Domo Arigato" as a series takes a look at the paralleled cultural influences of early childhood many of us have experienced and or have seen exhibited today. Classic Japanese cultural icons are infused with luxury branding brilliantly creating an conversation around the identities of the youth today.Mega Man meets Comme, Sonic meets Louis Vuitton, in a iconoclash that's a truly astute observation of today's influences. We are looking forward to seeing how the series is utilized within the real world. We've included an synopsis about the series directly from the artist Mago as well: "Whether Sailor Moon, Son Goku or Pokemon - all these Japanese anime figures were a big part of our childhood. My biggest inspiration for this project was to combine classic Japanese anime characters with luxury brands like Gucci, LV or Chanel to show the brand affinity of the Japanese culture. The series is also strongly influenced by my unique illustration style I've created over the past few years that is characterized by a strong love for details.Take a closer look and discover my passion for anime and luxury brands."

Shift Save Movement

How to make simple hedron sexy and appeal? Here is the answer from German students Hojin Kang and Fabian Mansmann. Their diploma project "Shift - Save Movement" is kind of reflection on a metaphoric triangle: Human Nature, the Creator and Technology. The installation shows the blend of Human and Technology and digitally explores the boundaries of this collision.

Freelance is a great part of design process but what about mobility? Here is a great example of movable freelancer - Axel Peemöller works and live on a boat in Mediterranean Sea and is able to visit any customer around the shores. But even living as a sea wolf-designer he has established a remote team of developers and creative people able to pick up tasks with collective efforts.

Instaglasses

After Instagram Camera concept that we actually did not like for it's form lose function here goes a smart concept of Instagram Glasses from Markus Gerke.Instaglasses is a smart way to live "la vie en rose" or just "en Instagram". You activate the glasses by pushing “Insta” and option to choose between different filters. Then take a picture with your glasses and upload the image straight to Instagram. Voila!

Also worth to mention a concept made by Mauricio Thomsen for Ray-Ban Instagram (Ray-Ban has so many concepts floating around and still doing glasswork as it is still the 90ss of 20 century, shame on them).

LiquiData Multitouch

in , , ,

LiquiData is a multitouch application to explore your personal movement profile and to show other people engaging places by adding photos and comments with the help of your smartphone. It can be seen as a rating system that offers people the possibility to discover new spots in an unknown surrounding e.g. during a city-visit. Although a smartphone is not necessary to interact with the system, it offers you the possibility to give insights to your movements through the city and lets you compare your mental map with the reality. For instance, this system could give guests of a hotel (lobby) the option to share their walked trails and show other visitors their favorite coffee shops or parks.
