DESIGN FETISH: Cerith Wyn Evans and the Venice Architecture Biennale
Comments Off | Posted: September 4th, 2010 | Filed under: Design Fetish | Tags: cerith wyn evans, pet shop boys
I’m a sucker for nicely-done neon text and Cerith Wyn Evans’ display at the Venice Architecture Biennale is exactly the sort of thing I like, but I can’t help noticing that it bears a similarity to Mark Farrow’s sleeve design for and overall marketing concept for Fundamental, the 2006 album by Pet Shop Boys. (This is, of course, something only I would notice and/or care about. I’m aware of that.)
I’m sure I’m seeing too much into it, but there it is. It’s important to note that Evans has gone with properly capitalized letters and punctuation, something that, on other releases, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe insisted upon. Interestingly enough, Evans and Pet Shop Boys both worked with Derek Jarman, too.

I live near a pedestrian/bicycle trail where people frequently walk their dogs. I’ve always felt the signage was far too polite and think this is a logical next step.

DESIGN FETISH: Bante’s tribute to Reid Miles’s Blue Note Sleeves
Comments Off | Posted: August 18th, 2010 | Filed under: Design FetishI saw this a while back and was just reminded of it again. A creative and witty re-interpretation that takes nothing away from the casual, consumer-oriented grace of the original work. Graphicology has a nice look at the video and some side-by-side comparisons.

Go, look, and love what he’s doing here. So much spunk.

You know, in case Galactus popped by. The renders of this project (that will never, ever, ever happen) make me laugh.

The Dieline has more. You may die of cuteness overexposure.

Gorum’s got a very good sense of framing and impeccable taste. A light touch when it comes to development brings the whole thing together.
