Graphic Design
Multi Touch Light Table by Gergwerk
A very interesting approach to create a graphic user interface for mobile djs. I like the design and the way functionality can be controlled intuitively once you are familiar with the system. Still i can´t really imagine that you can always beatmatch perfectly with just tapping the screen. To make this work, there should be a way of spinning each side to control the record / track with ease..
In my opinion on a professional level this concept is hard to deliver, but for the more private and entertainment sector this stuff is great. Specially with all the mobile devices coming.. Good work!

JULIEN VALLÉE / Danse Dance
“Each day, we are surrounded by seemingly insignificant objects, taking them from one place to the other, or leaving them on a table for weeks, without paying any attention to them. We ignore or forget them, using things only when we need to, making sure they don’t interfere or inhabit our space. But what if they were not so stable and subservient? What if they could swivel, bounce or even fly. And what if they did so all at the same time? We want to imagine a place where objects could live and move, harmoniously, and of their own accord. Without interfering with each other these objects would bounce, roll, turn and cross each other’s paths.
This experiment is about re-discovering our daily surroundings. This is the making of the interactive video that was originally made for If You Could Collaborate exhibition.
This video is the making of the interactive film where each object is assigned to a letter on the keyboard, and can be activated or deactivated at any time. To learn more about our process and to play with this interactive desk, go to dansedance.com”

Mario Hugo / Beck – Modern Guilt
Mario Hugo developed several verbal and non verbal concepts for the the album of Beck.
“I was asked to develop bold, iconic concepts for the latest Beck album. This verbal set went unused, though some concepts were later re-appropriated for the tour.”

Be sure to check the video from the last picture of this article, you find it on their pageDepotVisuals. It’s incredible. It visualize the invisible. Movements of pure energy. In the specific time of reacting.
CHLOROPHYLL SKIN BY LUCIE MC RAE AND MANDY SMITH
An experimentation into color, movement, absorption and the body. For me it is an act of art between disgust and the fascination of surrealistic experiments with the human body, which is freaking me out in some way. Find here more information about Lucy McRae and Mandy Smith.

Typographic Inspirations
Good Design needs a good source of inspirations. And we all know good design can not exist with a keen sens of typography. The best thing on this website is, that you can search for specific topics, categories and artist. So if you wanna see some really good professional work check out here.
Illustrations by Andrea Herrmann
After Posting a lot of really good Design stuff and inspired by it, it was time for me to be creative as well. So here are some examples. Some rough illustrations in a short time. I illustrated a series of characters developed from my accidental creative expressions.
Comments are welcome.
Matt Pyke
What an awesome and talented guy. Gifted with an extraordinary design mind. In this video he allows us a insight look in his Design work from the beginning on and also he presents Universal Everything. An Introduction into the work flow and process of his projects. And he has some wise comments, we should think about, if we are in to this world of design.
It is quite long, but I didn’t get bored or something. He speaks in a relaxed manner and the information are conditioned in a way that you dont’t lose concentration.
Take yourself some time and enjoy the presentation of his inspiring work.

The Art of Alex Varanese – The Imprint
He has a fabulous intergrated Design Style. Everything he designs melts in the same Design look, but it is never boring, rather more facinating, that he creates a world perfectly fitting. He understands himself as an artist more than a Designer. He doesn’t want that Design objects only have an aesthetic and beautiful appearance. The matter, the idea, the context and an all- embracing topic is the creator of his work.
“Our formative years are spent in a sponge-like state, our minds pummeled by an onslaught of stimuli that carves and etches a landscape in our grey matter like a planet being formed in a shower of asteroids, until adolescence arrives, our muscles tense, and we make our first attempt at standing up in the face the fusillade.”
But see for yourself and decide. His he either an Designer or an Artist. The Art of Alex Varanese
Data Visualisation and tools
In a previous Article I pictured Data Presentations of Visual Complexitiy It intends to be a resource space for anyone interested in the visualization of complex networks. And to present complex network structurs in a visual language system. Data presentation can be beautiful, elegant and descriptive.
In the following article I want to show you interactive tools working for example with music like this one narratives2.0 and tools for creating your own visualizations. Most Data Graphics are unfortunately not for free but they allow us an insight in visual and structural thinking an inspiring graphic work. Thats why I am posting these information graphics, there are beautiful though they have so many details to capture. Wrapping your brain around data online can be challenging, especially when dealing with huge volumes of information. The best are summarized here.

Sanna Annukka – Illustrator
She is half finnish and half english. She grew up in the landscapes of Paltaniemi, a village in Finland, swimming and fishing in Oulujarvi and exploring the forests. I can recognize that her childhood must be really intense filled with nature outdoor activities..The colours are showing us how much fun it has been grewing up with a lake and forest so close. Why i choosed her to get a place in the blog, is because of her great feeling of form and composition. The individual forms are floating in between the the main form. Nothing is bothering the the shapes and figures.
visit her website for more information.
Visual Complexity
We are flooding more and more our consciousness with information and short lasting knowlegde. It’s hard to figure out what is really important for ourselves and what we should keep. We try to organize and structure our life to clear our mind, we are multi plane and try do everything simultaneously. So we see life needs training, but the good thing is human nature gave us the talent of seeing beauty and creating it and even the chaos of things become beautiful if some smart guys put them in aesthetic order.

MUSA: Portuguese Design Collective
I’d like to indroduce you to MusaCollective. I found these guys in the IdN 15th Anniversary Edition, where you can find 250 highly talented creators who have collaborated-sharing their thoughts on the past; and their visions of the future.
And I thought maybe one of our authors, Lukas, is interested in their work. He is currently visiting his homeland Portugal, staying in Lisbon. Maybe he knows these Designers.
MusaCollective was formed in 2003 by Raquel Viana, Paulo Lima and Ricardo Alexandre, a Lisbon-based collective of graphic designers. Musa works with as many aspects of design as possible, from artistic/experimental to commercial. The first headline-making event that the collective was involved in was the “MusaTour” in 2004, in support of the MusaBook project, the first Portuguese emergent graphic-design book ever compiled, published by IdN.
