This guy never ceases to amaze me. Scott Hansen was a great inspiration for me through college, both as a designer, and musically with his DJ alter ego Tycho. Even though I have shifted in styles, his artwork always strikes me and leaves me in awe. I haven't had the opportunity or time to follow his blog like I used to, nor listened to his newest tracks. I am sure they are amazing, judging by the ones from the past.

I am calling all designers, photographers, copywriters and illustrators! I am looking to start an online magazine with general creative content. All of you interested, potential collaborates, please email me at contact@albertoorsini.com so I can send you a proposition with the scope of what I want to create. All types of artists welcome.

Wow, this guys is insane. I really want to be producing stuff of this caliber. I feel that I've let myself go being so busy all the time. I have to get my motivation back and start working on new stuff.

This is a topic that might not be news for everybody, but has been present in a lot of designer's conversations for the past couple of months. A lot of people don't even mind it, and the perfect example of that, was a lady drinking Pepsi from one of the new bottles the other day. I hadn't seen the logo, or one of the new bottles in front of me yet, so my first reaction was to ask her, "What do you think about the new logo?". At the moment it felt odd, but not everybody pays direct attention for brand changes, but her answer was, "Oh, I didn't even notice"
My personal view, is obviously that brand is the face of the company. We designers always have different opinions when a brand change this big happens, but I think the real importance lies in the general public. I have read numerous amounts of opinions about the subject, and they range from acceptance, to criticism, to complete dislike.
I personally think that the new logo is a huge trendy mistake. Then again, I feel the same way about the AT&T and Xerox new brands. To me it looks like everything is being geared towards trends, and everything looks just too web 2.0 for my liking.
When a logo is as brilliant as the old Xerox logo, or has lasted as long as the old AT&T logo, it's already proven. It means that whatever the logo has, it's working. Why get rid of that? Why get rid of such strong, proven designs, to replace it with something completely new? I mean, I do believe in renewal, I've been praying for Google to change their logo for the longest time, although I have to hand it to them, with such a horrible logo, they have built a company with one of the most iconic brands (ewgh! anyway).

My personal favorite is the 1973 version of the Pepsi logo. I just love you they the whole logo is composed of graphic shapes, and is is being held together by just negative space. The negative space seems almost phisical, when in fact the shapes are just floating.

To understand the simple concept of modern, I mean, modernism as a movement in design, it is not an easy task.

This is just beautiful work. It really gets my gears going and makes me wonder what I could create with cool materials such as these.

While on my vacations in Puerto Rico, I had the privilege to look through my grandma's and dad's stuff. I found a bunch of different stuff, all of them really interesting. I stumbled upon this cultural masterpiece. The packaging of this CD is simply breathtaking, with photographs by Susan Titelman and great layouts on the booklet designed by The Team, all enclosed in an awesome sleeve featuring just this picture. The music on the CD is really inspirational, for those who like different cultures, or just something different to listen to.

Package, print, photography, these guys do a little bit of everything.
