Studio8 Design +44 (0)20 7251 6430 Wee See Part art installation, part pacifier, Wee See is a collection of black-and-white animations built from basic shapes to delight both child and parent. As vision develops slowly over the first months of life, Wee See provides surfaces of bold, well-defined artwork to engage your baby’s curious mind and bring the screen to vibrant life. With great sensitivity to the delicate nature of the audience, Wee See’s animations move methodically slow and maintain an extraordinary simplicity yet remain endlessly inventive. With both DVDs containing an original score by Tim DeLaughter, each moment has extra meaning. 14 animations (each 2-4 minutes in length) Running time approx. 30 min. + flashcardsNTSC / STEREO / ALL REGION 18 animations (each 2-4 minutes in length)
SI Special: North × Fourth Floor Corner Shop △Fourth Floor Corner Shop Identity, Packaging and Signage Design: North in collaboration with Richard Stepney △Fourth Floor Packaging Design: North Project Background For more than two decades Fourth Floor has been doing things differently – cutting and colouring hair with maximum application and minimal fuss from its bright, split-level salon atop a 1930s industrial building in the heart of Clerkenwell. Accessed via a goods lift, it has remained firmly below the radar while attracting a fiercely loyal clientele and whilst many come from the arts, media, design and the creative industries all share with Fourth Floor an independence of thought and outlook. Now Fourth Floor is venturing into new territory. Design Notes The ’4′ graphic was intended to inherit some of the DNA of the striped identity of the Fourth Floor packaging that North created some years ago. Acknowledgements Big thank you once again to Stephen and Jeremy for making this feature possible.
GTF - Graphic Thought Facility - London based design consultancy Amsterdam kunstbeurs, antiekbeurs en designbeurs in één Graphic Design, Typography and Grid Systems - Part 2 I primarily write about print design on this site, but most of the work I do is User Interface and User Experience design. Until recently, Photoshop was the only real application one could use for UI design, even though it wasn’t designed for it. It’s kind of like using a road bike to bomb down a mountain. You’ll eventually get to the bottom, but you’ll bang yourself up good on the way. The feature set, and the workflow, of PS is not optimized for UI design. Then Sketch came along. Sketch is a vector-based graphics app by Bohemian Coding that offers a set of features, and workflow, specifically built for UI design. Some of the benefits of Sketch are: Super easy to use. These are some of the great features you’ll find in Sketch. It’s not all perfect, though. Now, I know this sounds like a paid advertisement, but I can assure you that I haven’t received a dime from Bohemian Code. I’m going to open the comments in case you want to ask questions. Enjoy.
