Beauty

It’s so wonderful to be reminded from time to time that beauty can be so breathtaking, no matter where you find it.

Red&Blue

Beautiful, simple and cheap chinese packaging. Type works best, as always. Especially when it’s hanzi :)

Markwald&Neusitzer—one of the reasons I became an identity designer

Markwald&Neusitzer are a design office based in Frankfurt, Germany. And one of the first reasons I eventually became an identity designer. Their Stadt Wuppertal identity—their hometown, I guess—made me choose a similar topic for my diploma project and hope of working one day on such complex and challenging projects.

I remember that I was enchanted by the clearness of their design, of their layouts. Little did I know at that time of Muller-Brockmann, whose influence is so obvious now :) Take a look, it’s surely worth it:

And the culprits, at their diploma exhibition:

Music tag

Got a tag from Pentru ochi—there’s a first :D. And it’s a nice one, to name seven songs that keep humming in my head these days. Here goes:

Oi Va Voi - Refugee
DeVothchka - How It Ends
Adriano Celentano - I Want To Know (part two)
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic
Archive - Fool
Faithless - To All New Arrivals
Placebo - Song To Say Goodbye

Enjoy.
