Google Visual Assets Guidelines http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/ViUkSW7QS80/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=440945
Google’s brand is shaped in many ways; one of which is through maintaining the visual coherence of our visual assets. In January 2012, expanding on the new iconography style started by Creative Lab, we began creating this solid, yet flexible, set of guidelines that have been helping Google’s designers and vendors to produce high quality work that helps strengthen Google’s identity.

ROZALYNN WOODS INTERIOR DESIGN – California Project http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/0zaY4eC7ej4/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=440972
The California Contemporary by Rozalynn Woods Interior Design:
“KTLA’s Gayle Anderson featured this Southern California contemporary home on her TV program. The choice to use simple and clean lines in the interior helps to soften the dramatic architecture. Ingenuity appears in all areas of the home from a custom backlit horizontal wood slat fireplace to the Master Bathroom’s opening to a small exterior garden.”
This Project from Rozalynn Woods Interior Design is located in Southern California. The main adjectives that come to our mind when we see the photos are style, chic and a minimal influence touch that gives the place a vibrant, fresh and clean ambience.
Do you feel the same way? What do you think about this project?

Lego House in Billund, Denmark by Bjarke Ingels Group http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/sa3TmJ6IGsY/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=440973
The LEGO Group revealed the design of the experience center “The LEGO House”. The center, which will be built in Denmark, illustrates the systematic creativity of LEGO bricks and is expected to attract 250,000 visitors annually.
The 7,600 square-meter building resembles “gigantic LEGO bricks” that are “combined and stacked in a creative way to create an imaginative experience both outside and inside.”
Bjarke Ingles, founder of BIG stated: “It’s going to be looking at LEGO from all its different aspects—LEGO as an art form, its cultural impact. When we were doing the research for it , we realized, if you would consider it just an art museum, you would be able to fill it with so much user content of such a high quality… it is one of our great dreams at BIG that we are now able to design a building for and with the LEGO group. I owe a huge personal debt to the LEGO brick, and I can see in my nephews that its role in developing the child as a creative, thinking, imaginative human being becomes ever stronger in a world in which creativity and innovation are key elements in virtually all aspects of society.”

The Aluminium Chair by Charles & Ray Eames http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/9Wf7HpqlUHo/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=440975
The Aluminium Chair is one of the greatest furniture designs of the twentieth century.
Originally designed for a private residence in the mid-1950s, this chair quickly reached a status of legend, making use of its innovative design and style. Charles and Ray Eames, the well know duo, abandoned the principle of the seat shell, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminium side members to creat an elastic and sleek seat. There are several versions of this classic mid-century design, making the Aluminium Chair Group, with a great focus on functionality, structure and ergonomics, resulting in a chair that adapts perfectly to the human body, conveying confort and beauty. The minimalistic and retro-futuristic style can fit any kind of interior and function, making it a great versatile solution. Read more…
This video shows parts of the production process, while highlighting the chair design, with a lot of details. It also includes some history about this iconic chair and shows how the human body adapts naturally to this seating

What The Heck is Responsive Web Design and Why You Should Care? @medianovak http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/4KzMXpvYcK0/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=441052
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned web professional, creating responsive designs can be confusing at first, mostly because of the radical change in thinking that’s required. As time goes on, responsive web design is drifting away from the pool of passing fads and rapidly entering the realm of standard practice. In fact, the magnitude of this paradigm shift feels as fundamental as the transition from table based layouts to CSS. Simply put, this is a very different way of designing websites and it represents the future.

Vitaly Design Jewelry http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/vBajBAssuG8/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=441067
“We are the iPod generation. We love to make a statement, but have nothing to prove. We are the guy or girl at the party who you want to know, and we want to know you too. We dress well, but don’t show off. We are leaders. We are early adopters. We are creative and we are risk-takers. We are dancers, athletes, executives, musicians, pilots, stockbrokers, artists… we are the many faces of fashion.”
Vitaly Design was born in the small village of Ubud, located in central Bali, Indonesia. Creator, Shane Vitaly Foran, decided to put his life on hold for three months to experience a needed change of pace and infusion of culture. He picked up and flew to South-East Asia. After six weeks of unplanned travel, he landed in Ubud and couldn’t leave. Shane stayed in this small haven for artists from around the globe for over three weeks – much longer than the two days he had planned.
At Vitaly Design, they use combinations of several materials including exotic woods, rose gold, ceramic and titanium and create all their pieces with their friends in mind.

Sound art and noisy hand dryers get equal hearing at BE OPEN’s Sounding Space Symposium at Chelsea C http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/iQFkyNN3qOA/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=441133
6-7 June saw a host of sound aficionados gathering at Chelsea College of Art’s Sounding Space symposium for discussions centred around the BE OPEN Sound Portal. This event was both a showcase for work produced by UAL students, who have been using the Portal to develop sound art, and marked the culmination of BE OPEN’s year-long exploration into sensory design.
The Portal is a state-of-the-art, ambisonic space, devised by BE OPEN, Arup and the London Design Festival. UAL students have had an opportunity to explore it in three quite different ways, with the results of their work being played in the Portal during the Symposium. Pieces ranged from fictional conversation, to the sounds of microphones being dragged along the floor, to rhythmic drumming and singing.
‘Sound as Measure’ led by Chelsea College of Art and Design, saw students experimenting with sound as an integral element of interior and spatial design. Central Saint Martins ‘Nomad Lab’ involved transdisciplinary, or nomadic work, across different artistic disciplines. ‘Sound, Place, Memory’, led by London College of Communication, involved workshops and themed talks with contributors drawn from the worlds of acoustic archaeology, sensory geography and anthropology, generating three student compositions and two artist compositions. Two students, Robbie Judkins and Sophie Mallett, teamed up to create an audiovisual installation that was shown at the Barbican’s Scream and Outrage Festival in May. Using contact microphones developed during the Sound Portal workshops, they turned surfaces, objects and spaces in London’s Heygate Estate into an urban orchestra, showing how unique approaches to scoring and instrumentation can offer new insights into familiar landscapes. This project illustrates the dual opportunity presented by the Sound Portal residency, which encouraged both artistic exploration and a deeper look at the impact of noise on our cities.
This theme was picked up by the Keynote speakers, pioneering US sound artist, Bill Fontana and Dr John Levack Drever, Head of the Unit for Sound Practice Research, at Goldsmiths, University of London. While Fontana presented an uplifting selection of work made over the last 30 years, filling the auditorium with sound samples that ranged from an amplified cuckoo’s call to the sound of cars crossing San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, Drever revealed details of his current area of research: the impact of noisy, high-speed hand dryers in public facilities. Research shows that young children, the elderly and anyone with sensitive or heightened hearing issues suffer significantly from this incipient form of sound pollution, yet complaints are currently going unheeded. Decibel levels can reach the equivalent of a DIY hand drill, which creates a real threat to hearing. Drever argued that these devices should be discontinued in favour of paper towels!
Gennady Terebkov, Director of BE OPEN, spoke at the Symposium about BE OPEN’s commitment to supporting students and colleges: “Our collaboration with UAL has given us the opportunity to launch an extensive educational program called BE OPEN Inside the Academy, a way to support young creatives and schools through the development of a ranking system for creative institutes, a scheme to encourage multidisciplinary interaction and the BE OPEN Young Talent Award for emerging designers. BE OPEN and UAL share a common vision about supporting the next generation and we look forward to watching the students who have participated in the Sound Portal workshops becoming the great, creative minds of the future.”
The BE OPEN Sound Portal program and Sounding Space Symposium bring the Foundation’s sensory year to a close and a new theme will be launched for 2013. This will be the interaction between the North, South, East and West in terms of culture and the different, creative approaches to dealing with critical urban issues of our time.

Statik Selektah – Extended Play (Full Album Stream) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/dyt/~3/f7uDGuZcSiA/ http://designyoutrust.com/?p=441159
To make Extended Play, producer and DJ Statik Selektah put out the bat signal and more than 40 rappers turned up. They range from middle-aged, battle-scarred pros like Prodigy, Black Thought and Bun B (Raekwon calls them “the vets in the sweats”) to the next wave, like Flatbush Zombies, Troy Ave and Pro Era (Statik is also the group’s DJ). They showed because Statik is something special — he makes functional, real-deal records that sound like the triumphant persistence of New York, the strains of nostalgia in a sunny day, parents telling their kids to quit running around and be easy.
