Graphic fury Throw bricks into the design industry

After watching this fantastic video about letterpress I went to check out Benoit Ollive’s website and I was absolutely baffled by his work and concepts. I have a huge interest in street art and other tangible forms of conceptual art, so I literally lost track of time while browsing through Benoit’s work.

As he personally states; Benoit tries to push the limits of what we are allowed to do, to see what happens trying to find unique concepts. This twenty-two year old artist has developed an extremely inspirational flow of mind which has resulted in all kinds of awesome stuff and kick-ass projects.

You should absolutely do yourselves a favor and check out Benoit’s website at www.graphicfury.com. His several website categories contain loads of killer projects, do take the time and check them all out. Or at least drop by his print and painting galleries because they are mind blowing in my opinion.

Creative festival – OFFSET 2012 Dublin

After some heavy pondering I finally decided to attend the OFFSET event in Dublin this March, a 3 days long creative event about art and design. The list of speakers is absolutely amazing so I just couldn’t miss out. There are a lot of speakers that will definitely have some inspiring and motivating talks. Here are some that I totally want to check out. (I’m just going to make this post something that I could’ve filed under ‘inspirational’ as well.)

Trends in cover art – CD covers and originality

I label myself as a designer for music, with a preference for cover art, so I figured it would be nice if I’d write more on-topic about that on my blog. After writing my previous post I thought: “It’s relevant and I like it, so why not write more about it?” So I’m just going to. I’ll try figuring out several approaches on how to write more about CD design and this is the first of a few subjects I will be delving into: trends in cover art.
