KDU Launches Core Site, Reintroduces Solstice

Post pobrano z: KDU Launches Core Site, Reintroduces Solstice
20101201_151445_sol_z_front.jpgThe KDU (Keystone Design Union) has launched a new core site, designed to disseminate the work and views of its lead members. Here’s a note about the launch in the society’s own words: „This is the dawn of A New Age. A Rebirth of our original agenda. A return to our beginnings. The KDU Core represents the unfiltered, uncorrupted collective
consciousness of the most dedicated and loyal members of our Private
Society. This is a victory for art over the constant controlling hand
of the corporate machine.”

The KDU has also relaunched Solstice, a journal dubbed „the graphical expansion of the identity of The Keystone Design
Union, representing the attitudes, opinions and codes of the world’s
largest Design Society.”

LOGONOM : Symbolizing Excellence

Amazing corporate film-spoof for the 2010 AICP-Midwest Conference. The piece introduce us to Logonom, a fictitious corporation that has been producing logos for over a century and the informative film takes you through their logo production facilities, demonstrates the best way to perceive a logo, and explains the advantages of their lifetime 2 year warranty plan for logo replacement and logo updates.

Produced by Optimus, the project shows a great display of humor, while being perfectly executed to match the corporate style. This is hands down, one of the best things I’ve seen this year.

We’ve updated with our fifth poster series ~ Dystopia; an often futuristic society that has degraded into a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian. We asked Derek StenningAlberto RussoJimmy TurrellOnur Senturk and Diego Lopez to explore their own interpretation of the word Dystopia. All posters are full high-rez downloads ready for print. Thanks very much to all who participated, and for sharing their time, work and inspiration!

Resin: MAC 'Body Paint’

20101112_204117_resin_mac_body_paint.jpg

Resin is an Australian based boutique visual effects, animation & live action studio. Their most recent project for the Motor Accident CommissionMAC ‘Body Paint’, looks at educating motorcycle riders on the importance of wearing the right safety gear. There is a perception out there that if you have you’re helmet on you’ll be ok, but reality is if you aren’t wearing the right gear, you might as well be wearing nothing.

Enter awesome idea….and seriously cool production to be involved
with.

We were fortunate enough to work with a great team led by Director
Phil Meatchem at Filmgraphics Entertainment. The shared creative vision that
Phil and the team at Clemenger brought to the project has resulted in something
that we think will go far and hopefully help change the attitude of
motorcyclists. It was also a privilege to get to work with the very talented
artist Emma Hack who provided body paint.

…we got to make a hot motorbike, break shit up and throw it around the screen, peel skin off and paint on blood bits. Luckily we had some people keeping the reigns on otherwise we may not have ended up with the PG rating we needed to achieve, it was all getting a bit Freddy Krueger at one point with some of the damage we were adding to our motorcyclist.
