Four Fifths Design

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!

This concept is simple. Based around the appeal of sleek electronics and our love as humans for innovation comes the DIY Player. It combines our love for phones, PMPs, gaming, GPS, and other electronics into one and allows for particular customization. The product would come with a base screen and would host detachable modules. Utilize the keypad module and you’ve got a phone; utilize the gaming controls and you’ve got gaming; etc. You can imagine what else could be included…

Four Fifths Design is officially 2 years old as of today! I want to personally thank all my readers for their constant input and enthusiasm. I also want to thank the numerous artists, designers, organizations, collectives and companies who have continuously shown interest in Four Fifths Design, especially General Motors, American Apparel and KDU for their ongoing support, feedback and exclusive features.  2010 looks to be another promising year, and I will do my best to continue the growth of Four Fifths Design!

Cheers,
Patrick Branigan

Designers: United Visual Artists

Here is an exciting laser light show opening done by United Visual Artists for Virgin Media. It’s an immersive light installation celebrating 10 years of broadband in the UK’. It comprises a series of laser-based experimental light works which flow through the labyrinthine spaces of the Bargehouse, the four-storey ex-warehouse on London’s South Bank. See how it works here.

Designer: Walter De Silva
A very compact concept by Walter De Silva, it’s called the Seat Ibe, an electric car equipped with optics with leds in the shape of flêches and imposing rims. It’s another dynamic vehicle design and beautifully rendered.
