Trash Isles: The World's First Country made of Trash

September 26, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in 2017, Graphic Design

As you read this, an obscene amount of plastic is making its way into the oceans – in total, eight million tonnes a year, or a rubbish truck full of plastic every minute. There is now so much of it, an area cumulatively the size of France has formed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Hawaii. With no one paying attention to this catastrophe, LADbible has teamed up with the Plastic Oceans Foundation to take this country-sized trash patch and turn it into the world’s 196th nation – named the Trash Isles.

"This isn’t some throwaway idea. Oh no, on World Oceans Day (8 June) we submitted a Declaration of Independence to the United Nations to seek recognition of the Trash Isles as an official country."

Now, this is going to be a three-month campaign to get the country official recognition and we need your help- to be specific, we need you to ‘become a citizen’, to pressure the United Nations into approving our application and recognising the Trash Isles.

Bonet

July 27, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Illustration, Portfolios, Spain, 2017

BONET is a tribute made by "The 21 Night" studio (Santiago Restrepo Arias) to the Catalan architect Antonio Bonet. Author of a vast work, which tweaks with his genius the geography of Spain and Latin America, which remains a great unknown. Six fragments that project the kaleidoscope of Catalan rationalism, gather and modernise the legacy of architect. It is also a recovery of the dialogue between architecture and light. Between stone and soul. A colourful tribute to the splendour of his work

Lorem de Loop by Lukas Bruhn

July 18, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Digital Art, Germany, Instagram, Portfolios, 2017

With "Lorem de Loop”, Lukas Bruhn manages a project where he creates a poster every day for one whole year. 123 days in and he’s still going strong.

Lukas Bruhn is a 24 year old art director from Germany. His focus is in advertising, but he has created “Lorem de Loop” as a way to challenge himself with new design concepts by experimenting with different softwares, including Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Cinema 4D.

As an art director in advertising, Bruhn’s job is focused on strategic concepting, which often leaves him with little time for developing the actual craft related to the industry. So in early spring 2017, Lukas decided to continue honing his skills with this artistic venture, where he would create a poster every day for one year.

“‘Lorem de Loop’ helps me to expand my horizon in design. It keeps my mind fresh at working with intricate programs, while giving me the opportunity to try out new software.”

The 24 year old art director uses Instagram to publish his work. “This gives me a lot of pressure to actually complete a poster each day!” says Lukas Bruhn.

Next week, he wants to give away posters to three lucky followers. So follow him, cross your fingers and stay tuned!

Wang & Söderström Phygital Reality

April 24, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Denmark, Digital Art, Portfolios, Graphic Design, 2017

Phygital - a new word in describing real world materia crawling into the digital existence and vice versa. This is the best way to describe what Anny Wang and Tim Söderström do on a daily basis by creating an unexpected digital experiences through materiality and technology taken from the real world. "For example, one series, Treasures amalgamates objects which you know are created on screen, but each element uses an analogue perspective. Marble and stone materials, or even a giant wobbly creature-like ball, appear so realistically that initially you think the image is a highly stylised still life shoot."
