Our first year entering the AGDA (Australian Graphic Design Association) Awards was a great success with the studio having one Finalist and two Distinction Awards. Our Latitude project won an award in the ‘Environmental Graphic Design’ category and our X-Mas tree won an award in the ‘Self Promotion’ category, with our identity for QUON Prefab housing being nominated as a finalist in the ‘Branding’ category… Well done crew..!..

One of the best motion studios around is Umeric from Sydney, we just noticed they have updated their website with this fantastic work for MTV… Audio-Creatures - creatures that create sounds in reaction to their urban environment. Shot in and around Sydney and integrating 3d creatures pulsating to surreal percussion and electronic audio design, very nicely done, so seductive is amazing motion work!
Absolutely blown away by this concept. Ive been interested in bio-mimicry for a few years, but always in an aesthetic or functional sense, but a generative process is something Id never imagined. Clever, clever, clever…. Tokujin Yoshioka has developed the ‘Venus Natural Crystal Chair’ by growing crystals in a tank over a sponge-like substrate. From the designer “Nature shows us a beauty that exceeds our imagination. On the other hand, it contains a strength that is sometimes frightening. The forms of nature are unique and cannot be reproduced. This endows them with mysterious beauty and makes them fascinating to us”.
