GRAFFITI SNAILS ROAMING LONDON

Cool Idea!
A London artist, known only as Slinkachu, has used the molluscs' shells for a series of designs dubbed 'Inner City Snail – a slow-moving street art project.



Another project as "Little people"

BUCKMINSTER-FULLER

Richard Buckminster “Bucky” Fuller (July 12, 1895 – July 1, 1983) was an American engineer, author, designer, inventor, and futurist.

He was probably one of the first futuristsand global thinkers. He is the one who coined the term "Spaceship Earth",and his work has inspired and paved the way for many who came after him.

This is the Dymaxion Map of the world, developed by Fuller as the first world projection to show the continents on a flat surface without visible distortion. Furthermore, this view shows the earth as being essentially one island in one ocean.

During his life Fuller worked with – and influenced – such diverse talents as the architect Norman Foster.



Fuller became famous for creating the geodesic dome of 1949. This structure of the domes comprise of a complex network of triangles that form a roughly spherical surface. In order to create a shape, which is very close to looking like a true sphere the network of triangles have to become very complex.

We can see it in Epcot Walt Disney World ( Sapceship Earth)it takes guests on a time machine themed experience using the Omnimover system. The 13-minute dark ride shows guests how advancements in human communication have helped to create the future one step at a time. The attraction involves a timeline from the origins of prehistoric man to the dawn of the 21st century, where guests can then create a future for themselves.

Clipper packaging

I am a big fun of Clipper packaging. For the first time in nearly a decade BIG FISH have re-branded the already brand winning Clipper tea packaging. bright, hand drawn design aim to portray a simple message that Clipper produces unprocessed and natural hot drinks where taste is the key factor...the new packaging succeeded.

ESTE

One of the projects last year was to come up with a logo for an architect company. I have chosen Este architects for a simpl
e reason. Their logo is nice but in my opinion does not represent the company.

Their excising logo is very round where as their architecture style is very blocky. I still want to send it to the company.

CYMATIC

Wow this sound like fun! I would like to try it!

Cymatics is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid. Different patterns emerge in the exitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency.
