Tien-Min Liao is a young taïwanese designer, who decided to continue her studies in New York after being graduated in her country. Loving her country and her culture, she realised that a large part of american people doesn't really know Taïwan. It gives her the idea to make an explicative book about life and culture in Taïwan.
Playing with the fashions of data-visualization and paper art, she made very good quality book, full of details and subtleties, which deals with a lot of topics like TV programs, weather, food habits...

Between technology and jewelry : creations of Paola Mirai
- Divers
Paola Mirai is an italian designer based in Milano. After several years of work as artistic director, she decided to get involved into jewelry and she created a new material called "Orotrasparente". She includes in this material pieces of old electronic objects (like printed circuits or mecanic pieces), and she gives these objects a second life and a new rank, exhibiting them at the heart of her creations. Some of her creations reminds amber necklaces in which old insects are trapped. A very original universe to discover through her site.

Words Are Pictures, a well-named studio
Words are Pictures is a studio founded by Craig Ward, a british graphic designer working in New York. Defining itself as an expressive and experimental typography studio, Words are Pictures' productions are mixing font design, illustration, and more artistic fields like sculpture. Each of their works is a search for coordination between the meaning and the form, in order to convey a stronger and richer message. Pictures and links in the rest of this post.
Selbstgesprächen, interactive musical experience
Selbstgesprächen (which could be translated by something like "dialog with myself") is a project born of the collaboration between german artist Karlo Jurina and webdesign studio Britzpetermann. At the listenning of the debut album of Karlo Jurina, studio Britzpetermann decided to create an interactive experience dedicated to bring it a new visual dimension. This work produced a very interesting minimalistic website, allowing the user to listen the album while "vizualisating" it through the interactive music player.
Inspiration and webdesign #3
After my two posts "Inspiration and Webdesign Flash" that you can find here and here (not yet translated in english), I decided to continue this series by mixing full flash website with other web technologies. I made this choice because I think it's more and more artificial to make a difference between flash and other technologies, HTML5 and Javascript allowing now to reach high interactivity and animation levels. In this post you will find a high part of full flash websites, but some HTML / CSS / JS productions too.
Feilung Feilung, between fashion and graphic design
- Art
Honestly, I can't tell you a lot about Feilun Feilung, and I'm not even sure if it is a real name or just a pseudonym. Anyway, the Behance page matching this taïwanese artist is full of visually interesting projects. Often fashion related, he realises very original accessories or clothes, with a graphic look. I find something very atypical in these works, often based on white backgrounds and simple layouts, but full of details and unexpected textures. The approach of human body is really unusual too, with distortions, recompositions...
