Scroll clock

0 comments |Sunday, November 22, 2009

If you haven't seen this coolest scroll clock, maybe you should get your butt up and start looking out for these creative use of codes.
My safari-on-pc didn't have that blueish scroll bars like Mac does, otherwise you will see blue bars moving.

I usually thought scroll bars are quite irritating. Especially the horizontal ones. These alive bars are changing my mindset.

See them tick in front of you!

Coke Announces Global Rollout of Plant-Based Plastic Bottles

0 comments |Friday, November 20, 2009

Nearly 1.6 billion servings of Coca-Cola-branded beverages are served each day. Now some of them will be just a little bit greener now that Coke has announced the global rollout of its PlantBottle, a plastic bottle made from a blend of petroleum-based materials and 30% plant based materials (derived from sugar cane and molasses). The new bottles stand to cut down on carbon emissions by up to 25% compared to traditional PET bottles.


The PlantBottle has a number of advantages over PET bottles and other plant-based bottles. In addition to its carbon cutting qualities, it can be processed through existing recycling facilities without contaminating petroleum-based bottles, and most importantly, it raises awareness of the need for more eco-friendly plastic bottles.

There’s just one problem: Coke is rolling out the PlantBottle for its Dasani brand of water. As avid readers of Inhabitat know, bottled water is anything but sustainable. Still, it’s a start, and Coke expects over 2 billion PlantBottles to have sold worldwide by the end of 2010. Next year, the company plans to expand the PlantBottle to its vitamin water brands as well. And eventually, Coke hopes to introduce bottles made from 100% recyclable and renewable materials.

Despite that I barely drink coke nowadays, I am feeling happier that even plastic bottles are becoming more environmentally friendly. At least we won't feel that much of guilt while consuming these drinks anymore.
hmmm.. wonder when they will spread into Singapore..

Bauhaus: Playground

0 comments |Tuesday, November 17, 2009

A recent work for History in Graphic Design. Suppose to imagine ourselves as
exhibition/event curator and come up with a written proposal and invitation
mailer for the potential people involve in the event.
(Above: That's the invitation mailer!)


Just how the proposal looks like, placed in the folder like this


And the inside...


I picked the one of the most influential movement in the history of graphic design (as I also did a presentation with my group earlier on) proposing that anyone can be involve in art to express themselves in any ways they prefer. Even for those who did not undergo any form of art training can do it too since the mission of the proposal is that art is born in everyone.

Because of different culture and way of life, art will be a exact reflection of the beings as an individual. With different way of life, our visual memory perception of objects is different too. Thus, portrayed in the invitation is the use of Bauhaus shapes as a representation of objects found in our daily life.

And they are stickers for the recipient to spread the "Playground" event to friends!

Type jumps over some noise

0 comments |Monday, November 9, 2009

Did a second experiment on typography some time back. Emphasizing on
the minimalism on how a type can be such that "it is jumping over
some noise". Haven't got the time to refine it..

Well, just some work to release some stress and get away from all the colours!
Don't be too serious about it.
