Feline Zegers is an artist with a love for illustration and photography. "My work plays with the combination of good and evil, beauty and degeneration. I’m often dealing with relationships between people and their environments. My work offers alternate views of reality. The value of storytelling and it’s ability to connect us to each other through our cultural, humanistic and emotional similarities is very present in my work. The figures displayed take on different roles, although the role itself is sometimes vague, flickering between seducer and victim, preacher and sinner, woman and child. Riddles which may, or may not, have a solution."

Colors And The Kids formed in 2008, having originally bonded over a mutual love of Bauhaus when they first met some years earlier in Weimar, Germany. Before long, Elisabeth Schulze (Fine Art, Visual Art), Sebastian Gerbert (Media Systems, Media Art) and Maik Bluhm (Media Art, Visual Art) discovered a shared fascination for film, photography, philosophy, architecture, design and art. It wasn’t until two years after they moved to Berlin, however, that they decided to unite their talents. They’ve never looked back since.

"Your Type of Book" is a student project from Aurelie Maron studying Digital Media at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia. The book is a kind of a research of typography term through visual citations and quotes. "I decided to produce an alphabet of typography containing useful information related to a typographic term, a typographic artwork, a typographer and a typeface. In fact, the quote from Gerard Unger is what inspired me: "It is almost impossible to look and read at the same time: they are different actions." Every good typographer should have knowledge of both the art and science of typography and my aim in making this book was to create a source of inspiration and reference." Pity and due to copyrights issues this book can never be published. Don't hesitate to check all typography related project of Aurelie on http://www.aureliemaron.com/
