Marian Bantjes Graphic Thought Facility Fanette Mellier Creative Visual Art – Dalston House: The Building That Lets You Defy Gravity Argentine artist Leandro Erlich was commissioned by the Barbican in London to install a version of his popular optical illusion that creates the visual effect of instant weightlessness. Using a wall of giant mirrors propped against a huge horizontal print of a Victorian terraced house, visitors are free to climb and jump around as their reflections appear to move freely without the pesky effects of gravity. Titled Dalston House the piece was erected in Hackney just off Dalston Junction. Dalston House is open and free to all visitors until August 4th.
Design You Trust. Design, Culture & Society. Alison Carmichael armin hofmann | l’école de bâle Il y a longtemps que j'ai entrepris une réflexion sur la pédagogie du design graphic et de la manière d'adapter les principes fondateurs de cette pédagogie à l'environnement numérique et interactif dans lequel les étudiants du monde entier sont plongés depuis une dizaine d'années. C'est un débat que je souhaite entamer avec les professionnels et les enseignants parce qu'à l'heure des futurs clics d'or il est plus qu'important de baliser les fondamentaux qui régissent la qualité de la création. Je voulais par la même occasion signaler le travail assez phénoménal qu'à réalisé un enseignant de l'école supérieur d'art appliqués de Bourgogne, Thierry Chancogne dont vous pouvez télécharger à l'adresse ici, l'intégralité de son cours au format pdf. Une somme qui a le mérite de balayer très large tous les champs d'investigations connus à ce jour dans le périmètre de la pédagogie des arts appliqués, et surtout de la communication. Concernant les lignes :

Lovely Package | Curating the very best packaging design Alan Fletcher Alan Fletcher Graphic Designer (1931-2006) Alan Fletcher: fifty years of graphic work (and play) 11 November 2006 - 18 February 2007 Designed to be opened at random, The Art of Looking Sideways, Alan Fletcher’s 2001 book, is an unfailing source of wit, elegance and inspiration. While designers and design students rifle through its pages for ideas, others enjoy its gently provocative mind-teasers. Alan Fletcher is one of the most influential figures in post-war British graphic design. Born to a British family in Kenya 1931, Fletcher came to Britain as a five year-old after his father became terminally ill to be bought up by his mother and grandparents in West London. During the 1950s he attended four different art schools, each one more forward looking and cosmopolitan than the last. Towards the end of Fletcher’s three-year stint at the RCA, the head of design Richard Guyatt exchanged places with Alvin Eisenman, his opposite number at Yale University. © Design Museum + British Council, 2006
