Seven Songs for Spring


Here' another unusual post for the O-L, and this time the link to creativity is that much more tenuous..
Dan over at Dirtymouse tagged me, in the game of Seven Songs for Spring, whereby I have to list 7 songs I’m listening to at the moment. Im not sure if it has to be based on a particular reasoning, but for now it's just what Im listening to today. Itunes is set to random, so I should say that my tastes are far more eclectic than what may be indicated by the following... :-D

1. 16 Lovers - Caged Baby
2. Light - Hans Zimmer
3. The Rip -Portishead
4. UFO - Sufjan Stevens
5. Edit Music for a Film -Unkle
6. Gravity's Rainbow - Klaxons (SoulWax Remix)
7. Powerball 5 - MF Doom and Madlib

I would have stuck in at no.7 'Love Will Tear Us Apart - Nouvelle Vague & Eloisia', but Dan listed that, so 'Powerball' kicked in next and that took it's place.

Ok so not sure who to tag but for starters I'll tag David again at September Industries on Dan's behalf.
Also, just for the hell of it, I'll tag some other random bloggers like...

Scott Hansen at ISO50,
David at David Airey,
John D Boardley at I Love Typography,
Fabio Sasso at Abduzeedo,
Johan at Styleboost,
Dmitry Utkin at Design you trust,

and see what happens...

Kung-Fu Panda


OK, so this is not the normal kind of post you will get on the O-L, but it's Friday and it is definitely creative subject matter.
Anyway, so last night I'm sitting between Lucy Liu and Dustin Hoffman, (Jack Black is sitting on the floor right in front of the screen, legs crossed- by the way I'm just loving his new 80's style blond highlights) and I am pretty much blown away by the quality of the animation and the illustrative styles that went into Kung-Fu Panda, not to mention the amazingly fluid and super slick choreography and clever direction. It is one of the best animated features to date and I think DreamWorks and crew can definitely pat themselves on the back. Go and see it in the cinema, and not some dodgy DVD, it's very much worth it.

James Dawe


Have a look at James Dawe's portfolio. You will find a lot of really good collage and illustration work

Jakob Poulsen


Looking at Battin's work led me, consequently, to the work of graphic designer, Jakob Poulsen, who is also worth checking out

Battin

FYI Copenhagen, according to Monocle Magazine, has been ranked as the No.1 city in terms of standard of living. This may go to explain the quality of work coming from Copenhagen based design and communications agency Re-Public.

James Jean



I linked him up back in January of this year, but CPLUV brings to my attention more of his super illustration work in the form of these AIDES Posters, conceived by TBWA\Paris and which incidentally won a Bronze Lion at Cannes. If you are not familiar with James Jean, then I suggest you get familiar!

Swiss design group, Ultra: Studio do have a fairly large body of good design and illustration work, although I have to say it is fairly frustrating having to repeatedly use a drop down to see every piece of work, still, worth a look
