SOME INTERESTING THINGS YOU FIND IN SHOPS (RESEARCH)

Bought a file folder today for all my papers (I keep loosing them) and apparently it's not A TOY. Ah, damn it, I couldn't way to put it on my head and play around, now I'll need to return it.
(just joking) ;D

and for the PINK thoughts!

DESIGN STUDIOS IN SPAIN. A LIST FROM JOHN.

[note] decided to have a calm evening to get my head around the things that are going on. John sent me an e-mail with all these great design studios in Spain so I decided to put them on my wall so everyone else could check them out. It will also be an opportunity to analyse them and decide which one might be suitable for a placement maybe. Well, I still want to go to sweeden, but I have to get some sun so SPAIN! YES! I love sun!

http://barfutura.com/ <--- I really like this design studio, but it seems they only give 6 month placements asking for strong software skills, which means you'll probably be a tool there. So not too sure. 

http://homedecaramel.com <--- I absolutely love their work. If I'll start looking into motions I will consider this studio as one of where I would love to work. LOVE THE NAME AS WELL!!!


http://www.hungrycastle.com/
<--- THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Social experiments! OMG! Interacting with people, sounds absolutely amazing!!! I would love to do interactive design, but even more interesting to do social experiments!

http://heystudio.es <--- reached a level of purity that actually scares me. I really like their individualism and consistency in work. It's so clean, colorful and bright. Love it. I wish one day my work could be clean. Sadly it's not right now. And I don't think they would even considering me as their intern or anything. 

http://www.marnich.com  <---- 

http://www.hopper-ink.com  <--- I must say the website is amazing. I really like their work and their philosophy of design and work. 'Everyone should  send them money'.

http://www.vasava.es <--- I really like the philosophy behind this studio. I think they are pretty cool. 

PPP. STUDIO (CALL IT) RESEARCH.

http://www.atmodesign.de/ <---- This studio is situated in Drasden which apparently is the capital of the Free State of Saxony in Germany (Which I never knew and feel really ashamed of that). Anyways this studio did this amazing branding for Pigmenpol

of course knowing me by now THIS is what garbed my attention.

http://www.minimallyminimal.com/ <---- This is the new love of my life (design life) Andrew Kim.

http://www.akatre.com <---- A new studio in Paris that Eve recomended to me and I have to admit I love their photography.

LATE NIGHTS.

RESPONSIVE. SOME SAMPLES.

 

I have no idea who did this, but Tom send it to me. And I'm really glad he did, I really like this idea!I think it works really well with my idea for the responsive brief, probably you are still unaware but from last session with Fred I decided to change my brief and after REALLY long time of searching for the perfect brief I discovered (wasn't really that hard to find) D&AD task set by D&AD itself. "Make Your dream job a reality". I already identified 3 studios that I'm going to apply this brief. I used the other ones as development for PPP. That's why I think it's a win win brief. I'm really UP for doing this, there are so many ideas in my head already.

YES. I'm still working on a DELL not a Mac. Get used to it.

The only problem is that my development work of this brief I'll need to HAND IN IN PAPER format. Luckily enough, the review that I wrote for SNASK 'Maike enemies and gain fans' ended up on one of their event wall posted by the man itself Fredrik Öst.

And today I've had 318 view on my PPP blog. Was quite exiting to see a number like that, usually I never get more than 20 and now 318! amazing, thank You Snask. BUT the point I was trying to make was that SNAS (as everyone knows really well now) is probably (to keep the secret) one of those three studios that I chose and I can't have the chance of them seeing the concept I planned, because it won't be interesting than. So I'll submit that part of work in paper copy and than after 'the plan' is done I'll post it here.

Back to the inspirations/installations/concept

http://frederikheyman.com/ <----this person is pretty amazing. I really like his absolutely 'out of the world' installations. Such a surreal concept. If you like installations you should check it out.  (thanks to Lizzi that share her discoveries with me)

I'm also thinking to try the http://www.thekennedys.nl/
[ what a sick motivation is this, this is what they offer to the people that are chos en.]
If you are selected as one of the 6 participants, it’s time to pack your bags and move to Amsterdam. Wieden+Kennedy will cover the expenses for your travel, provide accommodation for 6 months, and a minimum-wage salary. Additionally, the participants will have a designated space in the office, will be provided with computers and software and will be granted access to Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam’s facilities (recording spaces, kitchen, gym, art studio, fruits, veggies, garden and loads of coffee).

I'm probably going to use this brief to develop a body of strong work.I still have 6 month of preparation.
