STOCK CHECK, Infographic about earth’s non-renewable resources
The main focus of the project were the years remaining before a certain resource has been depleted (assuming that current consumption trends continue and recycling makes up to 25% of the demand). There are 24 vital mineral resources listed, broken up into three rows and the three main fossil fuels – petroleum, natural gas and coal in a separate column on the right.
My representation of the data is a kind of a periodic table with a pop-up book twist which I felt as a visually stimulating approach to the usual flat print project. The paper graphs are to be printed on a separate sheet, cut, folded and glued considering the marks on the A0 base-sheet. Stock Check is meant to be more of a wall-reference/datavis than the classic storytelling infographic where conclusions are already drawn for you.

Southsouthwest Studio; Melbourne, Australia
Още едно приятно австралийско студио със силно съчетание от фотография и типография. Колективът е компактен и се състои от тримата основатели на студиото, Jonathan Price, Andy Sargent и Adam Gibson.

The three of us all studied at The School of Art at Hobart in Tasmania. Andy and I went on to work in several studios both in Hobart and Melbourne, and Jon did some studio/account management jobs. We all got sick of working for other people to be honest so we started up our own studio. I think the major deciding factor for us all to create something of our own was the lack of control in the type of work we did. Working for yourself means that you can pick the kind of work you would like to do, although sometimes this means that you can’t eat for a week.

DHNN (Design Has No Name) Studio
Двамата аржентинци, Лукас Дейвисън (Lucas Davison) и Хуан Кресимоне (Juan Crescimone) са едни от любимите ми дизайнери. Тяхното студио DHNN (Design Has No Name), основано в Буенос Айрес преди едва 3 години работи за клиенти като FOX International, Nike, Lacoste и McDonalds. Споменавайки последните трябва да им се признае, че по някакъв начин успяват да прокарат добрия дизайн и по-точно техния специфичен прочит успешно. Стилът им е изключително разнообразен за екип от двама човека, както си личи от примерите по-долу (първите три са на свежи техни проекти излезли последните няколко месеца). DHNN успяват да докарат, когато е нужно изискан и консервативно сдържан дизайн и се разхиврят по проекти, като идентичностите на FOX International например с модерни цветове и по моя формулировка ърбън графика и усещане. Инфографиките им също са доста силни със стегната логика и красива типография.

Dieter Rams, “Less but better”
If you havent heard this name probably the best way to understand what he’s done is if i tell you that Braun, the company he led for 40 years (from ’55 to ’95) in means of design direction is something like a grandfather of Apple as philosophy and timelessness of produce. (more info in the article)
Gestalten is going to publish a book about Dieter Rams’ work this December. Simulateously they’re having an exhibition of his work at the Design Museum of London. Both are called “Less and More — The Design Ethos of Dieter Rams”.




More info and pics, and a video interview with Dieter Rams after the jump.

Apple Accessories
Mac and iPod accessories are packaged using a remarkably simple system. On every box or bag, the labeling is clear, the product is shown actual size and the packaging is recyclable.

VOLTA
“This is a project we did last year for Politecnico di Milano. We had to design a magazine about alternative energy sources. Our main concept was to put everything in an historical perspective, showing how some of the energy sources we now consider as “alternative” were once the most common, showing how the future could get and finally showing the present as just a point in a long evolutionary process. The parts about the past have a yellowish background and make use of b/w images, drop caps and a rigid grid. The parts about the present have a white background and use mostly photos and some little infographics with a more complex and versatile grid. The parts about the future have no fixed background colour and are completely based on infographics.”
