"listen with your eyes"

quoted from Cãoceito's Vimeo:

Repositories of stories and its enriching emotions, the covers, that accomodate the existing panoply of musical genres, are the motto for this exibition. The focus is made on album covers that often conquer our memory even when music slightly reached our ears. Major graphic disasters or deified, unduly ignored or zeitgeists, covers provide listening with a touch and an image, with the act of collection and share. From cover to cover, going thru all the stories (and histories), we wrote a new one to the sound of a song that repeats: I need nothing, I’ve everything I need.

‘I need nothing’ is an original concept from Cãoceito + Burdman, shot by Moopie. Its premier happens as a tangential project of EXD’11.

‘Useless’ - the motto of biennial’s current edition - was the kick-off, and the thought on how album covers (vinyls, in this case) enable people to ‘listen with the eyes’ the main goal of the project. At a time where digital audio files dominate but where traditional mediums still seduce fans, the album covers, being useless for some, stay relevant for others.

In this odyssey we benefited from the help of a set of people which, directly or not, live by the rhythm of the music they buy, download, share or create. The Parenthetical Girls lent music (Doughnut) to the video; Moopie shot the video; Matéria Prima yielded the venue in Lisbon; designers/illustrators/artists - Ariana Couvinha, Carla Almeida, Daniel Marques, Diogo Carvalho, Júlio Dolbeth, Hugo Oliveira, Manuel F. Sousa, Mariana Fernandes, Miguel Feraso Cabral, Miguel Vale, Nuno Aguiar, Paulo Lourenço, Paulo Serra, Pedro Naves, Rodrigo Burdman, Rui Vitorino Santos e Samir Mesquita - provided the bulk of over 200 covers, which populate the video and embody the central element of the project, and yet all others who enriched the discussion with surprising texts.

spark it up

not a fan of Drake but if i had to choose one soda can, i'd choose Sprite than anything else coz of a lame reason really, it looks like plain water the most :)) so when i drink it, i feel more healthy haha.. i'm not into the video execution so much, but i do like the tagline used here:

sweet guilt

this is some of the Guilty Food Festival packaging designed by Enav Tomer on The Dieline. i'd stack that plastic cone onto a stand and use it as my stationary container after i've chunked in the content :)

lately i've fallen under the seduction of food, particularly sweet stuff like ice cream, candy and cakes. for the past three years, i manage to go from 36kg to 43.3kg o.O please don't judge meeee~

be squared

BEN2010 CYBERPRENUERSHIP - Pixelotts' Beadxels

Kamil made this video showing some of us selling Beadxels on some of the days during our CyberP. it must've took lots of his time doing it. thanks Kamil!

PS: we're currently focusing on our FYP, so for those who ordered custom-made Beadxels, you may get them later than usual.

ambition

when you were young, your teachers must've asked you that annoying-obligatory-for-all-teachers-to-ask-their-students question: "What do you want to be when you've grown up??" and MOST of your friends must've answered "Doktor, cekguuu!" like i did.. which was stupid really coz i never did want to be a doctor. budak2 yang jawab "doktor" tu mest tak penah terfikir kalau jadi doktor kena blaja tinggi2 gila, dok kat hospital bedah orang, tengok orang mati sume.. agaknye kalau deorang sedar pasal tu, will they still answer "Doktor, cekguuu!"?

nevertheless.. i respect people who pursued their ambitions n are happy with their work now. i bet it's hard to do so.


pape pun, ni nak tnjuk what i really want to do when i get the chance to: design cute stuff like Momiji! i once wanted to design one as an entry for Momiji doll design contest hosted by Don't Panic. but, i didn't. probably coz i wasn't convince with what i can really do at the time. yela.. mase Alpha kot.. ape je la yang aku reti buat.. now when i look at these Momiji dolls that i found at Parkson, KLCC aritu, i asked myself "what if those were my designs?" i'd be so proud kot.. when people are willing to spend their money (that they've worked for and saved for) on things that you've done by yourself, using your idea, it's really fascinating, really. i wna thank all of you who've purchased whatever i've done :)



Momiji have different sets of packagings. all of them are really cute! i can't find any other words to describe them. some people may think what's the use of these dolls? Momiji dolls are message dolls which can store your paper notes inside them. what a cute way to send letters aaawww~

one really fine day, i'm going to open a store where i can sell things that i've created. i dunno what it is yet but, i'm definitely sure they're gna be something cute hehe..

matchmaking

for the animal in you

ok. i think i've just been brainwashed by this Orangina ad.

quoted from Creative Review:

Parisian agency Fred & Farid has created this surreal new ad for Orangina, which mocks television advertising clichés to imply that the fizzy orange drink is perfect for pretty much any situation... if you are a wild animal.

The ad follows the agency's earlier oddity for the brand, from 2007, which implied Orangina had surprising aphrodisiac qualities.

milk haters

this Frisk yogurt packaging was designed by Mats Ottdal for kids who dont like milk. i'm sure they'll love the cartoons and the yogurt.

i smell like melon :D

from Ammar :) heeeee.....

yeah.. right..

so.. should people who smoke be coloured in white as well? if a kid saw someone, let's say his father smoking and think "if my father smokes, i should too.." would that help to stop them from beginning to smoke? the point is.. it's not the packaging.. it's THE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE. the packaging is not even attractive anyway..

news from The Guardian.

lift up in the air

can't deny this Lift Airlines Brand Identity looks cuttteee! i love it when they combine different typefaces that somehow compliment each other.
