New NASA Logo Concept made by Russian

August 24, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, 2015, Branding

"The Russians were NASA’s chief rival during the space race, so it’s ironic that it took a young Russian named Max Lapteff to design a smart, speculative rebranding of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration logo. The mark pulls off a hat trick, referencing NASA’s illustrious past, nodding to its dreams of taking us to new planets, and ditching the dated features of the old logo." says Wired and this story seen ironically funny in all possible ways.

Steve McGhee

August 21, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Photography, Portfolios, USA, 2015

The guru of photography manipulations Steve McGhee. Let him say for himself: "My work reflects a personal interest in things human beings have little or no control over. We walk through life feeling like we’re indestructible, while in reality, we’re just the opposite. In the days and weeks following a major catastrophes,, people tend to reboot – we get shocked back into being human. That is to say, we react in an undeniably human way… whenever tragedy strikes in the world people come together to help those directly affected. It’s just too bad we have to be reminded that we’re human in such terrible ways."
