Dane Shitagi — Ballerina Project Oggi voglio proporvi un nuovo progetto artistico che coinvolge ballo e fotografia. Dopo Dancers Among Us di Jordan Matter, è la volta di Ballerina Project: una vasta raccolta di immagini in bianco e nero create da Dane Shitagi. Una decina di anni or sono, un giovane fotografo, camminava per le vie di Broadway alla ricerca di una ballerina che potesse aiutarlo a realizzare un progetto fotografico: catturare immagini di danza in contesti urbani. Oggi Ballerina Project celebra la forma, la fisicità e le emozioni dei soggetti ritratti da Shitagi, assicurandosi – anche grazie agli oltre 200.000 fan raggiunti su Facebook – un posto di tutto rispetto nel mondo del balletto e della fotografia. The New York City Ballerina Project grew from the idea of New York City as a magnet for creativity; each photograph is a collaborative work of dance, fashion design and photography played out against the city’s landscape. — Dane Shitagi Autore: Mauro Caramella

Haunting, black-and-white self-portraits by young Hungarian artist mesmerize Flickr fans by Dan Havlik posted Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:36 PM EDT Noell S. Oszvald does not want to be called a photographer, claiming she's "not yet one" in a message to Imaging Resource when we contacted her about her work. After Oszvald's Flickr page attracted thousands of fans, her haunting images, which recall a Bergman film mixed with a Salvador Dali painting, have been featured on photo blogs and art sites around the world.

Check out her work below, which is being featured here with her permission. (Via Bored Panda) Prejudice (photo by Noell S.

A 2-year-old dachshund took notice of the cub’s infirmity and brought the little guy into his pack of other dachshunds.

It doesn’t seem to bother them at all that one is a 500-pound lion and the other an 11-pound wiener dog… (via The Daily Mail ) Color Psychology in Logo Design COLOUR PSYCHOLOGY IN LOGO DESIGN Our minds are inherently programmed to respond to colour. They shape our thoughts and emotions. And according to studies, colour affects more than mood — it has the ability to change our buying habits. Colour can invoke as much as an 80 per cent change in motivation when it comes to online shopping, advertising, and marketing campaigns. While perceptions of color are somewhat subjective, some color effects have universal meaning. Here are some examples of how different colours are perceived, and logos that were designed to aggressively or subtly reach their market. ->white The universal colour of peace and purity.
