A Basketball Court Was Styled as a Malevich Painting in Paris

August 28, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Architecture, France, Photography, 2015

Our friends and sponsors Depositphotos launched a brand new blog "Bird" dedicated to the world of Photography. They asked us to come across their latest content presented both on Russian and English and select the interesting portfolio for our readers. Check the surface and the sides of the Paris basketball court that are painted in the main colours of Malevich's "Sportsmen"

Ill-Studio has collaborated with French fashion brand Pigalle to create a multicoloured basketball court between a row of buildings in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. They took inspiration from a 1930s artwork called Sportsmen by Russian artist Kasimir Malevich – a boldly coloured oil painting that depicts four figures stood side by side.

«Sportsmen is one of our favourite artworks, — they say. — We were attracted not only by the characters of the painting, but also by the colours and graphic design that were consistent with our view of the future».

Papa Palheta Brand Experience Kit by Foreign Policy

August 26, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Agencies, Branding, Graphic Design, Singapore, 2015

The must-read presentation of coffee bran Papa Palheta by Singapore-based studio Foreign Policy: "Taking their brand further to provide better user experience even online, the Papa Palheta Experience Kit is designed to reflect their philosophy of having strong coffee roots down to sustainability.

With meticulous consideration of the sensory elements within the kit, a card printed on recycled pulp paper made with blended coffee chaff (an underused by product of roasting coffee) prompts the user to repurpose it whether as a bookmark or thank-you card. Add-on inserts like a coffee connoisseur’s tasting notes record sheet; informative brewing guide that suggests the golden water-to-coffee ratio and a cake recipe card to create the perfect pairing with coffee, encourage the coffee drinker to explore the growing coffee culture. In contrast with the earth-tones of the paper stock, the color scheme of florescent orange and cobalt blue provides the pop of color, enlivening the common brown packaging of coffee"

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.
