AIGA Miami kicks off its 2008-2009 season in true techie form with

A dozen new young board members - ranging from  graphic designers to copywriters to PR executives - chosen this year will spearhead a range of activities across the design spectrum. As always, AIGA Miami promises a season of top-level programming such as live lectures from design stars, major exhibitions of local talent and cutting-edge publications.

Meet and greet other bots, groove to smooth mechanical beats, and celebrate with the local chapter of America’s oldest design organization.

FIND IT. DRAW IT. MAKE IT. PAINT IT.

1. Find a your-head-sized box

2. Doodle (or google) a robot head

3. Create your own with robotic found objects (buttons, wires, switches and bleepers)

4. Pop eye-holes for visibility

5. Paint it or spray paint it (we recommend at least 5 days ahead)

6. WEAR IT!

For all you Typographic lovers like myself and Michelle.

We stumbled upon a great article about Avant Garde

Unfortionately the font is getting abused  these days

hopefully not to the point of Helvetica. Enjoy.

In 1964, Lubalin formed his own design consultation firm named Herb Lubalin, Inc. It was during these years that he collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on Eros, Fact and Avant Garde where he served as creative director and designer for these publications. Five years later Herb Lubalin, Inc. became LSC, Inc., incorporating the talents of Ernie Smith, Tom Carnase, and Roger Ferriter. A year after that, several subsidiaries were added: Lubalin, Delpire & Cie, Paris, Lubalin, Maxwell Ltd., London, Good Book Inc. (“a highly unsuccessful publishing venture”), and Lubalin, Burns & Co., with its highly successful typographic offspring, International Typeface Corporation.

Radiohead just released a new video for its song
“House of Cards” from the album “In Rainbows”.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.

Watch the making-of video to learn about how the video was made and the various technologies that were used to capture and render 3D data.

The Making-of “House of Cards”

As part of HSBC’s partnership with the 2008 Wimbledon Championships, JWT commissioned leading British artists Ackroyd & Harvey to produce a unique artwork using the medium of grass.

As grass is at the heart of the Wimbledon experience, this piece captures the unique essence of the most famous lawn Tennis tournament in the world.

The piece that Ackroyd & Harvey have produced is a fascinating combination of art and science, of past and present. By projecting a black and white negative image onto a patch of grass as it grows (in a dark room) they use natural photosensitive properties of the grass to reproduce photographs – thus using grass as a living photographic medium.

From a distance they look like any other monochrome photograph; up close they look like perfectly ordinary grass. Typical exposure time is just over a week, with the image projected for 12 hours a day.

For this work, they photographed three people at Wimbledon prior to the tournament, and displayed the resulting grass versions of the photos on three large panels in Merton Park, where the tennis fans have been camping and then queuing for tickets this year.
Next to the piece you can read about the three people featured who represent the essence of Wimbledon: Tara Moore, competing in the qualifying tournament; Eddie Seaward, head groundsman at Wimbledon for the last 15 years; and Lizzie May, a coach for the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative.
