Energy Harvesting Infographic

Designer: Francesco Zorzi

This piece by Francesco Zorzi is not only beautiful to look at but is extremely informative of technologies, their impact on paralleling areas and their advancement in the energy game. Taking an abstract approach to visual aesthetics, Zorzi comments on various technologies and their potential to push us into an age of better sustainability.

FASHIONpunk Exhibition

Designer: Sasha ME

This exhibition from 2006 was made possible with 5 days of work, 1,500 nails and 300 meters of wool. The intricacy of the installation is quite awesome, showcasing some great typography and craftsmanship.

 

A World Beyond Our Own

Designer: Leong Huang Zi

This is truly insane, in a good way. Leong Huang Zi grew up dreaming of distant futures and foreign life forms. The future has always been the driving force for Zi’s imagination. Now, after years of conceptualization, Zi has put together not only concepts but stories and characters for what the future could hold. I’ve included the foot notes provided by Zi in reference to some of the shots.

UMSC Scouts Division. Federation scouts often have the most dangerous jobs. Their role as terrain scouts means going out alone in one of these single seater pods and flying as far as the horizon allows them to. With no defensive capabilities, they are exposed and vulnerable most of the time. Despite the dangers, UMSC Federation Scouts see  their role in discovering new lands and terrain as their calling. They are the first to arrive, the first to discover, the first to experience the vastness of our distant world before the fleet arrives.
UMSC Gunship. The backbone of the federation. Similar in design to the ARC (Ariel Rescue Chopper), the gunship provides cover and protection for the fleet.


Quick Notes

Just to update everyone on a few things…

1. I’m no longer using Digg. I now use Reddit. Why? Traffic, that’s why!

2. Four Fifths Design is now on Facebook! Just click here!

3. While you’re at it, follow me on Twitter to know each time there’s a new feature (and a few personal thoughts here and there). Just click here!

Cheers!
