Think Twice

One of the last projects i have been working on was for the new record of Palov & Mishkin from Cast-a-blast. it was actually a collaboration project with Petros Aka Design Insane. When Blend approached us to design the cover, he only gave us a clue: "Tree". Me and Petros started to thing about trees and typography but we gave it up as soon after we started playing with the papers that we used for the sketches and we thought it would be a nice to create a tree made out of paper and photograph it. So the first results looked like this.We thought that this would bring an ecology feeling which was not in the brief, so i continued playing with the papers and i came to this idea and afterwords i added the typography.Palov & Mishkin Think Twice coverPetros on the other side used a brain vector with the typography in to it and came to this one.When Blend visited us back in the office to see the final layouts he could never figure out what we were up to 2 weeks working on his new cover. The final decision was the graphic version of the brain.

the official Objectified poster!

Michael C. Place and his studiomates at Build have come up with an awesome poster design for Objectified, featuring drawings of dozens of objects from designers in the film and more. The best part of the poster is the bottom row of images, which are the objects we used to actually make the film (genius idea, Michael!).

Looks like we’ll have to be patrolling the walls at South by Southwest again this time. 27″ x 39″, metallic silver and black, lithograph. They will be adding them to the shop soon.

The story of a bird that was created free and it was copyrighted

Ok Here we have a Artist by the name Patrick Fore who presents this wallpaper as his personal work, its really nice but...

Well lets take a minute that reminds me of something O yes its a personal experiment of a friend of mine Charis Tsevis he is the real designer of this artwork.
The original artist Charis Tsevis says: "Licensed under Creative Commons for NON commercial use only" and the Patrick Fore has this artwork as copyrighted? And gives its as his wallpaper created by him through his website?
And even more he publishes this work in other networks like Creative cmyk Well this is how things work! First we steal the work of an artist with Creative Commons and then we copyright it and we presented as our work. Ok! Im not a good designer, I’m trying to become one, but I will never present others peoples work as mine I will try to discover the way he works I think that when we are young designers it is ok to imitate others works. But after a while the designer will filter down the work that he sees and will create a new or fresh style
And as Picasso ones said
Bad artists copy. Good artists steal

Well Picasso did not say to copy other people work but the things that are given to us free from the nature.
