2010 July « Four Fifths Design

We’re all well aware by now of the possibilities the Apple iPad presents. But has anyone considered turning into a DJ with one? Well actually yes. When it was released, I already saw this eventually coming. This is the iDJ Music Mixing Station concept. It’s supposed to be a power-packed performance device in a dual deck layout. A DJ myself, I can understand the liking for something like this. Yet at the same time, I can guarantee this wouldn’t catch in the industry outside of start up DJs and house parties. Nevertheless, this design is nicely done, and is at least more appealing than the ion iPod decks we saw come and go.

The Branding Comedy Wins

Designer: Daniela Meloni

Designed by Daniela Meloni, The Branding Comedy is a contemporary remake of the original Divine Comedy. The consumer plays god. The brands are the protagonists. Like the original Comedy, this piece is divided into three sections. In each circle are the brands, depending on their sins and virtues, their positive and negative values, or simply their position in the market. Quite an interesting, and fun, concept.

322 Portfolio Reignites Imagination

Designer: Patrick Branigan

I was looking for some inspiration today and had a tough time finding it. But then, I took a gander back at some recent work I personally had completed. I had a moment. A moment where you realize you actually can create good work because you’ve done it before. It was a motivational kick. 322 was that kick.
