"This extruding idea came from a Photoshop function where you can pick a row of pixels and extend them as long as you want," explains Brajkovic.

Great Student work

They are some student works I collected from www.thedieline.com
Are they proving that Young people are more creative?

Packaging Design collection

Time to tidy up my library!
When I looked at them, I do understand why people say " Good design is timeless!"
Some of them is from my collection in 2004, or even earlier.

Out of the Black by Matt Campbell

Out of the Black by Matt Campbell

from mocoloco.com

So sad! Yet our natural inclination is toward that which is shiny and new despite the damage to natural resources and the resulting pollution. Matt Campbell illustrates this by coating well-loved stuffies in black rubber, freezing them in time and space. As he puts it, they are " wrenched out of the blue (the natural living world) and thrown into the black (the artificial or "dead" world that we create)." This work is symbolic of our relationship with nature: we claim to love it, but we sure do mess around with it as well.

Droog hotel

Around the corner from flagship store Droog at Home in Amsterdam will soon be Home at Droog, a 10-room member-only hotel, concept restaurant and exhibition space designed by Tokyo-based Atelier Bow-Wow. 
Leaving the canal-facing front façade intact, Atelier Bow-Wow created an intricate inner courtyard façade inspired by Amsterdam's historic architecture. The hotel restaurant will host new concept dinners by invited designers and chefs, improvising with local market left-overs and practicing the act of eating slowly yet attentively. The street level will house an on-going program of Droog exhibitions and events.
