Concept, design & direction: ManvsMachine "The re-brand is centred round a bold, flexible logo that morphs through a series of flips, folds and reveals. The colour palette reflects the vibrant nature of interiors, food culture, fashion and other contemporary lifestyle programming."
Installation design: Jason Bruges Studio "Channel 4 in-house creative agency, 4Creative and ManvsMachine commissioned Jason Bruges Studio as Production Designers for the new More 4 live-action idents for the channel.

Alba Prat is a Spanish Fashion Designer from Barcelona who studies fashion design at Berlin University of Arts. Prat's final year project is making a lot of good noise in the fashion industry.
Inspired by the first Tron film of 1982, she kept the futurist concept, androgynous aspect and straight silhouettes in her design pieces with the touch of the avant-garde glamour and under the futuristic shapes and laser-cuts.
The materials used are wool, leather, cotton and neoprene (a material that becomes our second skin and protects us when we are in the deep waters of the ocean).
The project "Synthetic Oceans" was created to be the final project of Prat's graduation year in Fashion at the German school University of Künste in Berlin. This represents the transition that the aquatic world experiences mixed with the result of the industrialization era.
It's a project focus in the hundreds of tons of plastic that are dumped in the middle of ocean every year creating serious and complicated situations for the living species that live in there and the need of adaptation that they have to don't be killed or die.
The collection "Synthetic Oceans is a ‘cold and dark atmosphere where the beauty of the mutations and the defense mechanisms that its inhabitants embrace is to be seen’.
We can see in the fashion pieces the resembling of the cubist movement, the clean line features and shapes in garments combined with chunky wedge boots with the use of grey, black and silver as a colour palette.
"Through different techniques I have created cube patterns on the surface of some of the materials. Giving the designs a technical yet minimalist character."

Famous for humanized and simplified ideas Philip Starck came up with the next one juxtaposed from digital culture and music behavior. Zik Parrot is a new handset with touch control - easy? Swipe down the touch pane on the headset and low the volume, swipe forward to skip to the next song. "It pauses the song if you take it off and instantly picks back up when you put it on, has 3 microphones and a bone conduction sensor for your calls and active noise cancelation, and even has an app to control it all. 4 years of work has gone into these.." adds Notcot editor. Recently shown up on CES Exhibition Zik Parrot gained good comments from visitors and plus for Philip's studio karma from us.

Historical photography, recoloured by Sweden-based artist Sanna Dullaway with Photoshop. She owns a small studio that helps to restore memories in colours, so this series can work as her advertising but still awesome and on my opinion Adobe must get in contact with her for some collaborations.
PressPausePlay film that we watched at OFFF festival is available now on Vimeo and through PPP website.
"The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world's most influential creators of the digital era."
