30 gifts to 30 strangers 

Lucas is from Brazil but lives in Australia. Since he`s there a lot of beautiful things happened in his life, so on the day Lucas turned 30 he decided to celebrate it in a special way, being grateful to the people of Sydney.

“A friendly visual match between two cities told by a lover of Paris wandering through NewYork. Details, clichés,contradictions: This way, please.”

New York City and Paris, two places that are unmistakably attached to design and fashion, both in their very own way with their very own traditions. No better blog to visually describe these ‘cultural clashes’ better, than the Paris vs NYC blog by graphic designer Vahram, a guy from Paris, living in New York.

Have a look:

At Music Philosophy there`s always a new graphic/typographic interpretation of philosophical song quotes. The blog aim to bring music and typography into live in it’s most pure, iconic and visual form.  

The posters looks so cool and the good news is that we can download them and to use as an iPhone desktop wallpaper or something else!

If your boyfriend feels cold all the time, then this is the perfect gift for him. Er… I mean, for you. Well, for both you :)

Created by ENTLO.1A, from Barcelona, this coat is straightforward and original.

Called the “Olympics of Art,” the Venice Biennale brings together some of the best contemporary artists from around the world. But this year Venice Biennale has one of the most powerful and fun exhibits I `ve ever heard of. 

It’s an interactive installation, by the alias Norma Jeane, meant to break down and transform over time as visitors engage with it. It started as a tidy block of plasticine in late May in the colors of the Egyptian flag: black, white and red, and its title, #Jan25 (#Sidibouzid, #Feb12, #Feb14, #Feb17…) refers to some of the most popular hashtags on Twitter during recent Egyptian and Arab world uprisings. You can still see some of the block, but you can also see how complete and creative chaos have taken over the room.

Visitors are encouraged to take apart the block and, for the most part, do whatever they please, even take some of it with them, as long as they don’t leave it in another exhibit. The result is overwhelming and moving!

Japanese firm yoichi yamamoto architects has completed ‘2D/3D chairs’ for Tokyo fashion label Issey Miyake store. Featuring a series of traditional dining chairs, the installation transforms from a two dimensional graphic into a tangible piece. The perspective is manipulated creating a unique appearance from different vantage points for onlookers. 

Clothing items are then displayed upon the installation in a casual manner appearing as though someone tossed it onto their household furniture. Currently a collection of vibrant hats designed by akio hirata are presented to shoppers by resting upon the electric blue chair backs.

The Isle of Wight is a Festival held in Seaclose Park, Newport, Isle of Wight that happened in June 10-13. Tens of thousands of followers attended the 13th Isle of Wight Festival this year.

H&M, that has a clever marketing department was there, of course. They did different campaigns inside the festival, such as offering free manicure services, having a VIP lounge, etc.

The one I liked the most is in the video above. If you were at the festival you could have had your picture taken at the H&M lounge and tag yourself on Facebook. The use of a social network like Facebook does not only makes the action interactive and therefore more enjoyable, but also expands the campaign throughout the boundaries of the festival, getting more people involved.

Simple, fun, and efficient!
