The official logo, visual identity and slogan for UEFA EURO 2012™ have been unveiled at a special event in Kyiv's Mykhailivska Square with co-hosts Ukraine and Poland looking forward to 'Creating History Together'.

I love this.

This pictures are from a book with pictures of The Washington Ballet, composed by the Design Army.
The photographer is called Cade Martin. This book has a limited edition of 2000 pieces.

Click on it to see the full picture, they don't seem to fit in the frame.
I find the light, composition and the static movements very inspiring.

129 versions of the same poster, for a "Stuff White People Like"

Stuff White People Like poster series took the concept of pasting up the same poster for a single event. However, we created 129 different ones for Christian Lander's visiting lecture at the University of Arkansas. Each poster reflects each blog post on stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. Collaboration with Joel Eikenberry.

Structure Examples

Hey guys, like i told you, these are some scans with great examples of grids, uses of grid, and the importances of the structure for graphic design matters. Please, check this everyone of them, and ask yourself what they look so nice and organized, afterwards compare to your pages and try to materialize your understanding about grid systems in your own presentation.

This link is also helpful. ;)

Nice!

Clients

A collection of anonymously contributed client horror stories from designers.


I was doing a small brochure site for a client when he requested some revisions. I did the revisions as requested and dropped him a mail saying all was good.

I got a call a few hours later from him with this story:

Hi it’s xxxx. My brother has just been made redundant and is desperate for money—he wants to do this website and me to pay him for it. How much will it cost me to knock the website on the head now and give it to him to do?

I said that as I was just waiting on copy and other small bits and pieces that a figure of 75% of the agreed amount was fair. He said he’d think about it and call me back. I got a call ten minutes later for the client who was now yelling:

xxxxx, you’re just not doing what I’m asking. You’re not listening to me and your ignoring what I want. The text I wanted putting in is there, but it’s small and black. I asked for a big bold heading in red! I don’t want to continue, you’re not doing what I’m paying you for.

I was shocked and genuinely offended, but as he gave the vital ‘the text is there but not how I want it’ I could instantly ascertain that his browser had cached the stylesheet. I explained this to him in a surprisingly cool and collected manner at which point he realised that I wasn’t my fault at all.

He was really really apologetic but relations were different after that…

Incidentally the project did end up getting cancelled early as he refused to pay for any more revisions.

One client wanted me to fax though the letterhead paper we had chosen. I said it wont have any texture so you wont see it. They replied ‘no, fax though the paper’ as if the paper would travel down the phone line and re-materialize at the other end.

Can you fax it to me in color please?

This is going straight into my portfolio

I created, with MS Visio, a simple logo (a ¼” H x 2” W graphic) to which I want to add 8 short lines of text to then have the combined image as my Outlook e-mail Signature. Specifically, I want the following …

A) Have the Signature/image DURABLY embedded as my Signature for each e-mail I send,

B) Have the Signature/image received and viewable by any Recipient (regardless of whether their e-mail client is set to receive e-mails in plain text or .HTML format),

C) Have the Signature/image appear as sharp to the Recipient as when sent, and

D) Have the Signature/image remain embedded within the e-mail when the Recipient either Replies to or Forwards the message.

Client: It looks good I just want the text to POP more.. I want more contrast (the text is white on black)
Client: Can we change it to like a gray?
Me: Gray on black?
Client: Yeah I think that would make it really stand out
Client: (Fast forward 5 color changes to the SWF) I think white would look best here

I sent out a link to the beta of a site I was building for a client. Since it was powered by a CMS, the pages still used dummy content. I got a kick out of the email I got back:

“We love the site, but one thing: maybe our computer is broken, but everything seems to be getting translated into Latin. It just says ‘Lorem ipsum something something’. Maybe something is broken with the site or else do we need to change a setting?”

There are two more small changes James recommended we make. First, please add a black border around the red lettering to make it stand out better. It’s probably much easier for you to do that in Photoshop than it would me for me to do it pixel by pixel in Paint. Also, aside from making a design with the red letters outlined in black, you need to make an additional design with the entire background black, letters in red. Second, could you make the text larger so it touches both ends of the billboard? It would be great if you could email it straight to James. I believe you have his email address. Thanks.

Birds on wires.

Birds on the Wires from Jarbas Agnelli on Vimeo.

A musician has proven he is quite the songbird by creating a composition inspired by a feathered flock perching on some telephone wires.
Jarbas Agnelli from Brazil, 46, spotted a picture of the birds in a newspaper and noticed they were arranged like notes on a musical score.
He arranged his score using a xylophone, bassoon, oboe and clarinet. However, he was reluctant to take credit for the beautiful piece.
'The pleasing melody is not my invention. It was the birds' idea,' he said.
'The notes are the exact position of the birds (in between the lines). The rhythm is a interpretation of their position, since there are no bar lines.'


This really shows how you can get your inspiration from anywhere.

Cell phone evolution (Babuschka style)

This artist is called Kyle Bean. The largest part of this "Russian doll" is the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, which is basically the Neanderthal under the cell phones, and the smallest part is obviously the iPhone. It's a really cool way of showing the evolution in cell phones.

This could work as a brilliant piece of Guerilla!

Blog/website

http://www.nalden.net/

One of the best designed blogs/websites around. Great navigation style and good for all kinds of inspiration.
Started out as a simple Dutch blog, but has found international success, so it´s written in English now.
The background design of the site changes everyday and can be downloaded as a desktop background.
The guy writes in magazines right now and does all kinds of stuff. He even
designs shirts with fashion brand Tenue de Nimes. Great, great inspiration.

Amazing horrorphotography

This photographer is called Joshua Hoffine. He actually makes everything that you see in the pictures himself, so nothing is done in Photoshop.
