How did young designers show off their work in the pre internet era? It is so nice to find online portfolios filled with nice projects these days. So here are 2 projects by Eric Ku: CHAIR/CHAIR and “Only Graphic Designers Can See – Magazine, Issue 1″.

Jas Bhachu made this very cool Rubik’s Cube Font Generator. He attached rubber stamps to 4 sides of the cube, so you can create you own characters. It comes in a really nice package with some instructions. You probably can’t buy one as this is project which he did at Liverpool School of Art & Design.

“Printed Matter” is very nice project by Evelin Kasikov. It’s about craft within the context of graphic design. She developed a special hand embroidery technique based on the analysis of optical mixture and colour printing processes. There is much more on her website!
Last Saturday was the launch of the German edition of the car magazine Intersection. The first I’ve heard about Intersection was when they presented their Car Covers project. I must admit that I’m pleasantly surprised with the magazine; I don’t read car magazines. Intersection is definitely the most esthetically one I have ever seen. Don’t expect the normal number crunching content, but spreads like the one below shot by Thomas Brown or other art, design and fashion topics … and a lot of cars of course.
“RAVE IS THE NEW RIOT”, tonight is Paul Snowden‘s GERMAN WASTED YOUTH party at Scala Berlin. Spanier will show some of his pictures in the blackbox. We’ll see about the riots tomorrow.
Sieger Duinkerken designed these invitations for exhibitions at de Gele Rijder in Arnhem, The Netherlands. You have to slide a stroked transparent film over the print to be able to read the copy and to even see it animated.
“It’s time for Art Directors the world over to boycott the use of Futura Extra Bold Condensed – the most over-used typeface in advertising history. Destroy the Great Satan of clichés and the Little Satan of convenience, and rally to the cause of a better type selection.
