The future is bright, the future is light...


Interesting to look at the work of David Ward, who has created an art installation in the form of a virtual ice-skating rink at p3, Marlyebone Road. The vast gallery floor has been transformed into a gigantic animation that traces the movements of figure skaters. Future Laboratory commented that 'Lighting is increasingly being used in more innovative ways to enhance everyday environments, from retail interiors to public spaces. The future is bright, the future is light.'
We are very interested in exploring the potential that artistic lighting can offer for our exhibition, hopefully using it to great effect to create a professional and dynamic environment.



Limited Locations


I saw this on the trend watching website and liked the idea of a brand creating a limited location to sell something special and desirable just in one place.

Burberry have adapted this trend to their own brand by creating 'Blue Label', which is a line of Burberry stores exclusive to Japan that features a more fitted, sassier version of Burberry styles.

SOME INTERESTING PROMOTIONAL OBJECTS:




CHART TOPPERS:
















A collection of graph and chart based graphics that caught my eye; I like the clean, professional yet colourful aesthetics. Something to think about as a visual display method.

Just some font:
























Similar to the hands on approach below

PIXEL IT:














Lots of pixelated art and imagery around at the moment; could work visually with the technology-based, future-facing concept that we have explored. My favourite example is the 'Pixelator' video which shows the work of Jason Eppink, who takes over video advertising space in New York with a device that transforms the images into pixels. Take a look at the link...












ROLAND REINER TIANGCO:


Love the hands on, interactive style of this New York based graphic design artist, Roland Reiner Tiangco. I like the idea of creating engaging promotional material that is directly coherent with the conceptual message. Other examples of his work include books with french folded, perforated pages that are designed to be torn out and assembled to create a poster.
