You don't need a special announce to mention the rocket start of a new iOS game "Monument Valley". Designers from "the creative silicon valley" - Shoreditch, London forming the agency UTSWO released the game being inspired by the surreal world of M.C. Escher.
"Monument Valley is an elegant puzzle game where you guide a young princess, Ida, through a maze of ruined monuments. You manipulate the landscape to let Ida get from place to place, using optical illusions to your advantage – as in Monument Valley, when walkways appear to line up, Ida can walk along them – even when you know that they really don't." via Digital Arts
Official Trailer:
Behind the scenes:
In these films they explain how the works of MC Escher and the architecture of ancient temples inspired both Ken's visuals and way the game is played.
The team also revealed their favourite things about the game and its creation in the video below.
"Robert Jahns, better known as nois7, has casually been manipulating photos to create surreal, impossible situations for some time now. Featured throughout much of his work are cities – bold old and new – infused with extremes, from the frozen canals of Venice to skateboarding the skyline of New York City. While the idea itself is not necessarily new, the execution is very well done, leaving the viewer with a sense of awe." via Highsnobiety

The Future Lions global student creative competition has issued its 2014 call for entries. In collaboration with the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, AKQA is hosting Future Lions for the ninth year in a row. This year’s theme, ‘Rise’, encourages students to ascend to greatness and create the future.
In celebration of the competition’s focus on creativity and innovation, AKQA has officially partnered with Google to bring Future Lions 2014 to life.
The annual Future Lions competition challenges students to come up with an idea that was not possible five years ago, for a brand of their choosing. There are no rules in terms of media or technology, and no specifics around product, service, or target audience. The deadline for entries is April 21, 2014 at 18:00 GMT.
Winning ideas will be honoured at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Wednesday, June 18, 2014 at 16:00 CET in the Grand Audi Theatre at Les Palais des Festivals.
“Future Lions is an incredible opportunity for students to demonstrate their creativity on the industry’s most prestigious global stage,” said Rei Inamoto, AKQA VP/Chief Creative Officer. “This year, with the theme ‘Rise’, we’re challenging students to ascend to greatness by giving them an opportunity to shape the future with their ideas, and kick-start their careers.”

We found a new gem in Russian fashion illustration - talented girl Nadia Coolrista (on Instagram) working mainly with coloured pencils. Her vivid and nearly photo realistic fashion portraits fits editorials so well, that one no need photographer to frame an article.
From February 15, 2013 to February 15 of this year, designer Simon Graham documented his life—first-person style—with his phone. Val, the name of Graham's resulting documentary, comes from both the artist’s mother’s and son’s full names. It serves as a commemoration to both Valerie Sheppard and Leonard Valentino Graham, who passed away and were born, respectively, in Graham’s single year of documentation. In Graham’s own words, he felt the name “truly represents this crazy circle of life” we live in.
Being a fan of documenting every day a second I am completely interested in the way Graham did his video. All the photos are hand stabilised and taken as a batch using iPhone.
