Aleph

Beto Campos’s latest project is a mind blowing teaser ad for the book Aleph by Paulo Coelho.

Campos had 5 days to create 29 illustrations; with a script from Africa Agency and Manipula Studio and photos from Paulo Coelho’s Transiberian Trip. Beto says of the video “The great challenge is the loop effect, where each image includes all the others.”  Watch the video.

Café Nero Posters

Just launched are four posters created by Ruth Palmer for Café Nero.

Ruth was asked to make her paintings look like a mural behind the product photo for that real in situ Mediterranean feel. Peter Blake at Together Design then had the images retouched to give the impression of old cracked walls. The posters will be in the cafes throughout the summer.

Julie Ingham with Villeroy & Boch wins the Red Dot design Award 2012

The Red Dot Design Award is widely recognised as a seal of quality for good design. The award attracts over four thousand submissions every year, all vying for this coveted prize.
All entries to the competition are assessed by recognised design experts for their fusion of style and substance. In Villeroy & Boch’s ‘My Nature’ bathroom collection the first thing that grabs your attention is Julie Ingham’s delicate graphic rendering.
In its soft detail the design compliments the product’s smooth lines and echoes the curve and fluidity of the form. In Julie’s design we have the perfect example of how a great image can compliment a great product.

Artist Petra Stefankova’s alter ego  - Yet Another Face – was selected by the new Creative Review Handbook, to design and produce a cover for their latest book just launched in April. Several other artists were asked to work on the same idea, based around the theme “collaboration”, but Petra impressed the judges with her stylish rendition, and made it to the cover!
