Marks & Spencer's 2014 Christmas Advert

Magic and Sparkle are out transforming Christmas on behalf of Marks & Spencer. Moving Pictures completed over a hundred visual effects shots in RKCR/Y&R’s 2014 Christmas campaign for M&S, directed by Philippe Andre through Independent Films. A cheeky fairy named ‘Magic’ and her fledgling cohort ‘Sparkle’ take to the skies over Christmas to transform it with the help of M&S, swapping a dull alarm clock for a brassiere, revamping a drab wardrobe into a clothesline of glittering dresses and bringing two lovers together.

Ines Kozic

"The photography of young French artist Ines Kozic (Instagram) is hard to overlook. Hailing from Lyon, the 22-year-old dancer and professional model, who is currently a postgraduate student at the school of Fine Arts in the French city of Rennes, has been capturing images using her father’s camera from a young age. Kozic’s photography, a body of work of disarming simplicity with a character all of its own, is inspired by fairytales and body ornamentation like jewellery and tattoos." via Yatzer Ines-Kozic-15

A New Design for Norway Passports

Seems Norway can't stop being the most expensive country in Europe they need more attention. Last time they drew it with innovative Money Banknotes design and not long ago they released a new update of the National Passport design.Oslo based studio Neue won the competition by giving a modern, simple, but still attractive new design as a result. Titled ”The Norwegian Landscape,” this design shows nature as the “essential part of the Norwegian identity and tradition” as Neue Design Studio puts it.

Poetic Jewellery by Ruby Robin

Irish artist Ruby Robin (Facebook) creates handcrafted jewellery that contains little bits and pieces of nature.

My handcrafted jewellery is designed to allow the quiet beauty of nature to shine, to stir the imagination, inspire wonder and encapsulate a microcosm of long forgotten memories. I make my jewellery using a range of strange and beautiful curiosities, found in the woods and on the mountain sides, on the windswept beaches and wild meadows.

Saint Petersburg City Logotypes

Who said it will be easy? To create logotype for the city like Saint Petersburg is like to direct a play of "Lady Macbeth" or "The Master and Margarita". Everybody knows it but nobody got close to it, dead or alive. The city identity requires a lot of everything: starting from a very complicated history ending with citizens that has a lot of doubts and bits about living here. To understand the city as someone said you must "drown" in it, or it will spit you outside or even leave you dying. Literally, Saint Petersburg has a lot of faces, and everyone who gets here see its own face. So let's check the three version of Saint Petersburg City Logotypes.

1. Unknown Pitch

The first one is said to be done by Moscovian (sic 1!) design studio "Art.Lebedev", but it is not approved. Please take this in consideration while studying the logo. First posted on German website (sic 2!), it spread across Russian web with a lot of doubts over iconography and some typography issues.

2. I Love SPB

Done by initiative group lead by Ruslan Chernobayev (St.Petersburg Design Week) and talented illustrator Alex Andreyev and supported by BCA Agency, ILOVESPB is a next pitch to have pros and contras. The logo has a personal website http://ilove.spb.ru/ and hope has a long journey to be real.

3. Yakushev Design Studio Pitch

The third pitch is again from Moscovian studio of Yakushev Branding has a good typography designed by Ivan Gladkikh and lemon-faced trend of "generic" logotype, that we'll leave on your consideration. Personally, this project is a good moodboard and research of possible graphic design trends, but hardly represents the Saint Petersburg City itself.

Light is Time by Tsuyoshi Tane

Japanese architect Tsuyoshi Tane, together with Japanese watchmaker CITIZEN, has created an amazing piece of installation art that breathes magic and life into an otherwise mundane object. Their installation, called “LIGHT is TIME,” features 65,000 watch baseplates hung on black thread in a black room, making them look like shimmering golden raindrops.
