I recently designed this site for writer/director Rory Hanrahan. Check out the Filmore Lights short film - very cool. www.roryhanrahan.com
Magazine
PYRAMID POWER
july, 28, 2007
Magculture.com recently features this Vancouver born magazine. Graphically different from many Arty publications I've seen around. Pyramid Power is one of the latest Art Mags to come out of Canada featuring the newest in 'electric art'. Not 100% exactly sure what that means, but hopefully will once my mine arrives. 3 issues a year for $45 CAD.

This is nice and simple. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed the advertising war for toothpaste that is going on at the moment?

FRENCH PAPER
july, 24, 2007
I came across this today on one of my ever continuing paper hunts: www.mrfrench.com/index.asp
This bright design was a welcomed change to the generic paper sites I normally encounter. They will send out paper samples, but you will have to pay $14.95 for shipping to anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. As well as papers they have some gifty, papery, things.

It's still not a patch on the beard spot.

DIGITAL MEDIA INCUBATION CENTRE
july,
18, 2007
Firm: Murray Olaoire Architects
Project Architect: Janek Ozmin (Yes, he's my brother!)
'The public aspects of the building - the gallery, presentation areas and embryo unit - are linked together to form a ‘shop window’ to the corner of the building. It is envisaged that there will be interaction between these spaces, with display changing during the year to highlight events both with the centre and the campus.' READ MORE >
Another project Janek has recently completed are the STUDENT RESIDENCES, BROADSTONE, DUBLINLucky students.
Book
THE BRAND GAP
july,
13, 2007
Expanded Edition (Paperback)
by Marty Neumeier (Author)
BACK COVER: Not since McLuhan’s THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. READ MORE >
I read this book in about 3 1/5 hours - which is why I think this book is worth the read. It very simply relays the common sense behind branding, a subject that so often is overcomplicated in explanation. I wouldn't go as far as to compare it to McLuhan's work but I would agree with SUSAN ROCKRISE, Worldwide Brand Director at Intel, in that 'it cuts to the heart of what brand is all about—connecting the rational and the emotional, the theoretical and the practical, the logical and the magical to create a sustainable competitive advantage.'
