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.

Briefly "Anamorphic Typography" is an illusion where the type in the space or any location looks just right when viewed from the exact right spot, but it looks stretched and warped on the walls when viewed from elsewhere in the room.

Nine Circles of Heaven by Terrible Twins

in , ,

"Lithuanian artist duo Terrible Twins (Ruta Pu & Urte Janus) use photography as their tool for creating new experiences rather than capturing a moment. The duo builds sets, designs costumes, and uses make up and styling elements in order to bring their subjects out of their actual identity and into a surreal character " writes Trendland

” Nine Circles of Heaven is an exploration of Sin as a concept perpetuated by western Catholic society and aims to question the authority of such doctrines when describing concepts like virtue and sin, good and bad," say Ruta Pu & Urte Janus

A-Moloko by Ermolaev Bureau

in , , , , , ,

Clever identity gets clever prizes. Ermolaev Bureau was among 4 Russian names rewarded by European Design Awards 2012. Designers Vlad Ermolaev and Olga Balina (designer behind our DCMAG logo and cover design) won Gold in Identity for "A-Moloko" project.

This visual identity developed for a company selling milk through a chain of milk vending machines. The logo concept was suggested by the name of the chain: Automated sale of farm fresh milk. The first letter 'A' which when turned upside down resembles a cow's muzzle was taken as the basis. Visual identity is built on a system of symbols that show the path of the milk from the cow to the consumer.
