Euro 2008 + design

A series of t-shirts has been designed for the nations who qualified for euro 2008 comissioned by NIKE. In my opinion they all look pretty, and I am sure most people would rather collect them and not wear em out cause they look just too good. Just check them out at Steve Rura to look at this pretty faces.

The people at W+K London has done it yet again for HONDA. The campaign called "DIFFICULT IS WORTH DOING". The TV spot named JUMP amazed me the most, its just amazing how much effort and time they put into the whole shoot for the spot. From how they gather the parachuters to the camera crew for the whole production its just mind blowing.

The cinematography is great, I think it could well be compared to This is a big AD BY George Patterson Y&R and Fallon London's SONY Bravia Ads. Just to fill you guys in, this is also the same agency who did the Honda Car Symphony Advertisment.

So here enough of talking check it out yourself:

silenced by silnt

Have been browsing frequently on silnt.com a website by a local creative Felix Ng, who goes by his agency's name SILNT. The young art director is a graduate of Temasek Design School, pretty awesome work he has done.

Wait did I mention hes the same age as me…well he really put me to shame looking at the achievement's he has made to the local art scene.

He happens to be the dude who brought in and curated the much talked about art+design+sound show last year called THE DUAL CITY SESSION, if you haven heard of them then your really so so so not cool.

This year it started with a new destination in their tour which has just recently ended in BERLIN Germany, venue DMY Berlin. It is a show like no other. Yu can get to see Some of last years events highlight in SG and Tokyo via SILNT's Flickr.
Can't waiting for this year's event to happen during Design Festival 2008.




Some highlights of this years touring artist:

I would say my favourite would go to muon and silnt...muon has really some good tunes coming up from them, very soothing and refreshing drumb and bass check them out at their official website MUON.

Silnt's latest project also included helping to revamp the cyber home of design firm EQUUS-design one of the biggest name in corporate design house in SG, where they sit alongside the likes of local annual report design firm EPIGRAM and the infamous Kinetic Interactive which is now known as Kinetic SINGAPORE. Well kudos for Felix Ng whose achievement's motivates me to press on and stretch on mine.

Dubai is really coming up slowly, where architecture of the 21st century is trully taking place in this country that is full of sand and sea. Dubai a state where it was once a small fishing city has slowly flourish into a city where it is trully modern and cosmopolitan, where wonderful architectures could be seen touching the skies. It all started with Burj Al Arab which was designed by UK disciplinary consultancy ATKINS. From there, everything started coming together and the latest one is out to challenge Sydney's opera house. Jorn Utzon a Dannish architect designed Sydney's opera house in 1937 at a time where it awkward shape was a eyesore to many, but look at it now almost a century later people celebrate the success of his design and with that Zaha Hadid came up with one of the most astonishing structures for Dubai's own Opera House and Cultural Center.

I am done with the course but I am not feeling the exciment. Well maybe its due to finishing the course means back to reality time, but of cause I am glad that I finally got time to actually focus on my driving lesson which I had delayed like so so long. So well at the mean time it means sending out more resume to more prospectful employers. So for all you guys who are reading this and those know me, please pray for me and wish me luck.

There is so much to blog about man, this entry would be a long one man.

Read Jeff Ng's(STAPLE DESIGN) blog yesterday night, well some pretty neat stuff coming out from the dude from NYC. In case some of you might not know him, his name is pretty huge in New York's underground hip hop scene. A veteran designer himself, who is also the Creative Director of his own design house Staple design. Some of the big international clients that has engaged his services are NIKE international, Louis Vuitton, Zoo York, Uniqlo, Tokion Magazine and even Weiden & Kennedy just to name a few.

Jeff comes up with his own line of clothings which are always appealing to me at least, but sad thing is I haven got any since Jason sold away his store SKOOL. They most recently blasted a close door preview of their latest 08 Fall preview, with the likes of many well known artists and designers like Marley Mar the hip hop legend, John Jay Creative Director of W+K and many more check out his blog to view more of Staple design's fall collection.

Yea bottega has got kicks that are so similiar in design with Vans but very much much more comfortable. Bottega Venetta's products has always been so diserable with their elegantly waeves on their products perfect and meticulous finishings in their design.



well i will stop here for nw, cause the urge to go for an evening jog has kicked in again!!
