Fitment Project-2013 Asian Art Biennial Exhibition

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 7 Jun 2014 22:57:00 +0800

Taiwanese people love to say, “I love Taiwan”.
Seems like there are always some major events happening daily, which would stir up people’s patriotic fervor. And yes, by shouting like that every day, sooner or later, we got used to it.

Just like the way we apply the Chinese language; when we see a Chinese character, we would know how to pronounce it, but its phonetic symbols would often escape from our memory! The act of shouting out “I love Taiwan” seems to have the potential to become a national movement, which would involve the production of a specialized logo, themed music,exercise routines, ways to shout out the slogans, and many other possibilities.

To manipulate it into a “National Brand” has many advantages, such as receiving sponsorship or sponsoring others or to be praised by the public or to back up others.

More importantly, the massive resources obtained from the manipulations could be turned into public benefits. In that case, the slogans will become something of substance.

Perhaps people that had a guilty conscience while shouting before would feel more at ease this way. Even though,after awhile, to shout out I love Taiwan on a daily basis like that could get quite exhausting. And have people around the world become aware of this brand?

If things would not get any better with us shouting up, we might as well actively pursue in shouting as loudly as possible. In the short run, this “National Brand” is still pretty useful internally.

From Dragon to Beast Exhibition,Learn about the evolution from dragon extinction to beast radiation. The upcoming exhibit features precious fossils from Gansu, China, including a 30-meter Daxiatitan, and more.

If kids are tired of too much informative knowledge about dinosaurs, the gallery offers them a roaring good time with an interactive animated game of digging out dinosaur fossils.

The other gallery of the exhibition,the beast gallery, displays more than one hundred mammal fossils. In this delicate gallery, visitors will explore the incredible range of mammal diversity, get close to the elegant fossils from Hezheng, and discover the structure and function in mammals.

Many of the fossils on display, which are of great significance to studies of the evolution of mammalian species, as well as the geographical and climatic changes of the Tertiary Period of the Late Cenozoic epoch, are shown to the public outside Mainland China for the first time.

In between the two galleries, visitors will learn about the fall of the dinosaurs and the rise of birds and mammals through specimens and illustrations on display.

Also, here visitors can go behind the scenes of the exhibition by viewing the time-lapse video documenting the installation of the exhibition.

Melbourne Recital Centre

The Melbourne Recital Centre identity had to do three things. The first to communicate the diversity of performances held at the centre. The second, maintain a presence in all communications either overtly or backstage. Finally, create cut through and originality in a market where events often overshadow the venue. The result is a polyphonic identity that is always changing and always unique just like the experiences to be had in the venue.

還記的網路早期的gif 動態符號嗎?現在回頭看，的確令人覺得可怕!

當然早期在頻寬不足，使用256色gif 動畫可達到更精采的變化。收集了兩張gif動畫照片，可以發現照片更為細緻，色彩更真實，非以往的256來表現真實照片，動代也更加細緻。

Victoria Quarter 視覺形象設計

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 19:22:00 +0800

國外的地方政府，針對地方特色行銷，推廣，所做的識別設計，反觀台灣的地方政府，我們的包裝方式，好像都略嫌本土，是否該用更簡潔及國際化方式，包裝自己的城市形象特色。

維多利亞區正好位於倫敦的中心（Victoria Quarter）；也是高級購物區。它包括三個街區，介於Briggate、（Vicar Lane）之間，包括County Arcade、Cross Arcade、維多利亞女王街和愛德華國王街。其中每年超過100萬人次的維多利亞車站，鐵路、地鐵、公路交會的重要樞紐，區域內有著名的白金漢宮（Buckingham Palace）、TATE美術館、Royal Parks，但是維多利亞區一直沒有一個明確、明顯的區域定義或稱為個性。維多利亞區在今年推出新的設計，重新包裝、塑造區域形象。

Destination branding at the very local level is no different than branding a city or country, you still have to find that one thing that establishes a connection to the place. This identity manages to do that with a couple of elements: one is the contrast of themes in the district, as shown in the “V” examples above, but those could apply for other parts of London so what makes them work for Victoria is almost a dumb approach… they are used in a V-shaped device. It might seem obvious, but with it, a kind of mnemonic device is created. The other aspect that helps make this identity appropriate is the wordmark, set in Andes by Hernández Type, which has a lovely “R” with a bit of a kick in its terminal, giving the otherwise tame sans serif some of edge but at the same time almost like an upscale fashion brand. The angled line that cuts the “V” looks strange when you see the logo on its own (which I am guessing will rarely happen) but makes sense in the applications. Overall, and speaking as a non-Londoner, the identity gives me a pretty good sense of what the area is all about.

Pantone Hotel Brussels 旅館

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 12:16:00 +0800

對的，就是Pantone 旅館，由比利時室內設計師Michel Penneman與建築師Olivier Hannaert共同完成的全球第一間Pantone Hotel。

Pantone Hotel 位於比利時布魯塞爾，共有59間房間，規模不是豪華五星級飯店，走的是特色旅館，或有點像是高級背包旅館，每一間都是不同的配色風格，床單、玻璃、地毯都以不同的Pantone 色作為設計，甚至飯店中的用品，馬克杯、椅子、腳踏車，都看的到Pantone色票的影子，當然你看到的產品在這裡也都可以直接向旅館買回家。

記得10多年以前買一小套Pantone紙本色票，大概要2~3萬，每次要撕一張附在完稿文件上，都超捨不得。到Adobe軟體內建Pantone色票，到近年來不斷的看見由Pantone發展出來的產品，看的見Pantone由專業人員的領域往一般流行領域發展，他是業界色彩依據，一個由專業人員熟知的品牌，往普羅大眾的發展的品牌，這樣類似的案例不多。現在收集Pantone商品化的資料應該已經可以出一本書了

比我們早的藍白拖鞋歷史，Havaianas 50周年影片

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 8 Aug 2012 20:15:00 +0800

台灣有藍白拖，巴西也有，而且他已經有50年的歷史(1962)，Havaianas製作了一支動畫，來訴說歷史。能讓拖鞋賣這麼貴，絕對不是選舉上街喊一喊就有。比比藍白拖，價格那A差哈賊。

以巴西人字拖鞋聞名的Havaianas，獨特的設計與風格，已在好萊塢及世界各國的時尚圈打下名氣。Havaianas成立於1962年，設計概念來自日本的夾腳拖鞋，早期的消費客層集中於藍領階層，但近年來漸步入米蘭、紐約、巴黎等國際舞台，為代表巴西的時尚風格發聲，並成為多為名人、設計師與名模的最愛。

這個名為Havaianas的人字型拖鞋(或稱夾腳拖鞋，英文則稱為sole with Y strap)品牌，不僅來自全世界第三大產鞋國巴西，更被Celux(日本一家超級精品店)、Agnes’B等當紅時尚品牌相中，成為2004年春夏伸展台上最令人眩目的”配角”。更是這一季非買不可的時尚單品 (must-buy item)。

Havaianas的魅力何在？創意、豐富色彩組合、幽默表情、多變質材及民主內涵造就它的時尚地位。什麼是Havaianas的民主？Havaianas台灣總代理JJ40行銷總監趙慶論表示，屬於五年級生的Havaianas，品牌創立之初，就是為了解決巴西普羅大眾貧困無鞋可穿的社會問題。以實用、平價為設計理念，落實人人必須、人人可用的民主精神。 Havaianas從70年代挾著嬉皮熱，由年輕人在南、北美洲海灘邊攻佔灘頭。

80年則順著fitness風襲捲全球，在由海灘轉進街頭。90年代後期則因為lifestyle的大勢所趨，站穩街頭時尚的地位。不僅成為一般民眾的最愛，更擄獲歐洲皇室及名模的青睞。新世紀到來，在設計師獨具的慧眼下，正式躍上時尚舞台。從平民到貴族，由普羅大眾而時尚嬌客，真正坐實了Havaianas品牌民主的精神。

Sea-Inspired Seating

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 8 Aug 2012 00:49:00 +0800

This unique, marine-inspired design adopts the basic form of one of the world's naturally occurring sculptural elements, the seashell.

The elegant shape has always attracted the eye of artists, scientists and designers and like the seashell, this design's eye-catching, bilateral symmetry and natural strength are also sure to pass the test of time. Contrasting cylindrical cushions, expert craftsmanship and a subtle nautical feel make it a great compliment to classic and contemporary spaces alike. Designer: Branca-Lisboa

給深夜酒醉的男人

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 6 Aug 2012 12:50:00 +0800

打開門鎖在一般正常狀態下都是簡單的一件事，但是在黑暗的情況、又當你已經酒醉狀態的時候，你需要這個貼心的設計。

第一、你需要夜間照明，鑰匙孔周圍設置發光LED，讓你在黑暗中清楚可以找到門把。

第二、鑰匙孔周圍內凹設計，讓你簡單的將鑰匙插入鑰匙孔中。

第三、趕快編個好理由，說服正坐在客廳瞪著你的那個女人。

這個設計曾入選2012 IDEA
