Yota Devices / Scenarios
Scenarios is an audiovisual installation created by Onionlab for Yota Devices. Bordering on abstraction, Scenarios shows some of the utilities of Yota Devices’ new phone, characterised by its dual screen. The rear screen, made of liquid crystal, can store important information such as a boarding card or map almost permanently. This piece was presented at Barcelona’s 2013 Mobile World Congress at the exhibition stand designed by External Reference.
Beautiful visuals.
OBLIVION GFX Montage
The amazing GMUNK is at it again. Reprising his GFX role for Joseph Kosinski on his latest movie Oblivion. The interfaces are astounding. So beautiful one can hardly imagine what a movie like this would feel like without this digital texture throughout. Gonna have to go check this out on the big screen just for the visuals.
Dove Real Beauty Sketches
Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful.
Great social experiment. Captured beautifully.
Google Street View Hyperlapse | Labs | Teehan+Lax
The idea for this project came from one of our motion designers, Jonas, as part of his Labs experiment. He wanted to explore a tool that could help him create hyper-lapse videos with the assistance of available data sets and emerging technology. We built the tool – he built a video with it. The results are pretty stunning.
I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
Photos of Children From Around the World With Their Most Prized Possessions
Shot over a period of 18 months, Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti's project Toy Stories compiles photos of children from around the world with their prized possesions—their toys. Galimberti explores the universality of being a kid amidst the diversity of the countless corners of the world; saying, “at their age, they are pretty all much the same; they just want to play.”
Great concept and execution.
Nazario Graziano Studio
Italian illustrator, art-director, graphic-designer, Nazario Graziano, updates his portfolio. Loving his collage illustrations.

Over three years in the making, 'The Heart & The Sea' explores the joy that lies at the very centre of a surfing life: family, friends & a shared intimacy with the sea. Filmed in Australia, New Zealand, France & Spain, this is a gently refreshing & quietly enchanting contribution to the surf film genre.
