Illustration: Grimms’ Fairy Tales by Ale Giorgini
Illustration: Grimms’ Fairy Tales by Ale Giorgini
Grimms’ Fairy Tales Illustrated by Ale Giorgini is a set of illustrations of wallpapers based on classic fairy tales. Whichever one is your favorite, it isn’t hard to get glossy eyed and nostalgic over the forever legendary Brothers Grimm tales. With his brilliantly retro flair, Italian illustrator Ale Giorgini evokes the same feeling and transforms the iconic tales of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’, ‘Snow White’ and ‘Hansel and Gretel’ into stylish, contemporary illustration pieces for the home.
“A Wall With A View”
This is the idea that Ale says encapsulates the collection of illustrations. On designing the collection, he said, “I thought of the wall as a huge window, where I could watch the woods through which some of my favorite fairytales characters walk. You can play with Red Riding Hood and a sweet wolf, or try to grab some candy from the hands of Hansel and Gretel.”
Giorgini has teamed up with Murals Wallpaper to create an uber cool collection of wall murals that celebrate the sentimentality and iconicism of Grimms’ fairy tales. He uses precise line work, bold color and a cunning use of negative space to produce illustrations that are as stunning as they are interesting, resulting in an incredibly charming Jetson’s-esque aesthetic.
“You can hang your artwork on the trees, or declare your love by writing it on the trunks. My murals are made for children that dream, or adults who still do.” – Giorgini

Editorial Design: Save the Children
Editorial Design: Save the Children
I am one of those believers that believe that design can change the world by its purpose and its reasons. We do what we do for what we believe is worth fighting. We are able to create things that can drag emotions, thinking and more. Let’s take a closer at this editorial design by Mother Design for Save the Children. As I quote: “..creating an opportunity to engage with the people behind them”.
Designed by Mother Design is a team of designers, strategists and producers with offices in London and New York City. With a mindset of working side-by-side with their clients, seeing their work for Save The Children gives a warm positivity for a great cause.
Helping the children of Za′atari share their world. When Save The Children invited us to visit Za’atari – the world’s second largest refugee camp and home to over 80,000 Syrians – we discovered an incredible project. Magnum photographer Michael Christopher Brown had created a photography class in which he gave 12 children iPhones and equipped them with the skills to tell their own stories. These kids have no direct connection to the outside world; no way to share their story and, vitally, to have others respond. My Own Account was about going beyond the photographs, creating an opportunity to engage with the people behind them. We took inspiration from social media to create an exhibition in which visitors could show their love for the photographs that they really connected with. These interactions were recorded and shared with the children of Za’atari in what, for many, was their first interaction with the world outside since arriving at the camp.

Motion design: UI and UX Collection
Motion design: UI and UX Collection
Motion design is intrinsically useful for product design, especially when designing for mobile devices. Even experience designers might have a difficult time evaluation solutions on the computer without testing on the device. In addition to that, there’s so much information that can be lost by using the old approach of static mocks. Those are just a couple of reasons why motion design and prototype are mandatory steps during the product design process. After Effects, Principle, Framer, Javascript or straight native Java or Swift are some of the tool available. They all have their pros and cons but the important thing is that they all gives us that extra level of information to helps us on our decision making process to deliver the best user interface.
On this post I will share some motion design projects on user interface. They are from Dribbble, one of the best sources for this type of work. Make sure to click on the images to find out more about the designers behind them.

The Monster Energy Outbreak House Returns to SXSW with a Exciting Music Lineup and Game-Changing New Partnership
Sponsored Content Provided by Monster Energy
The Monster Energy Outbreak House residency returns to SXSW 2017 for its third consecutive year. The four-day event will showcase 30 emerging acts and a new partnership with Trap Nation, the world’s largest music channel on YouTube with over 12M subscribers.
The Monster Energy #OutbreakHouse will feature Young M.A, Ugly God, Illenium, Whethan, San Holo, Unlike Pluto, Ekali, Sweater Beats, Night Lovell, 24Hrs and many more.
The Monster Energy Outbreak House @ SXSW 2017 will commence on Wednesday, March 15th and run through Saturday, March 18th. It’s all going down at the Old Antone’s venue on 213 W 5th Street, Austin, TX 78701. Doors open at 7pm each night, with each show running until 2am.
“We’re bringing an even stronger lineup, bigger production and a bit of a refresh to the Monster Energy Outbreak House this year — and we promise substantial surprise guest performances just like in previous years,” producer/GM Steven Ljubicic said. “We added extra focus to bringing credibility to the subgenres of EDM and emerging hip hop. Our goal is to champion these artists and feature them on one of our touring or festival properties and ultimately place them on the biggest national headlining tour of their career.”
Since 2011, The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour has given fans early access to Discover What’s Next by aligning our sponsor brands with mega stars on the verge of breaking. They included The Chainsmokers, Kendrick Lamar, Iggy Azalea, Logic, Fetty Wap and Post Malone on their largest national headlining tours at the time. The company produces six national tours a year across six different genres, alongside an annual week-long residency for Super Sponsor Monster Energy at the annual SXSW Monster Energy Outbreak House.
In 2016, a new property was formed called the Up & Up Festival. It has rival college students compete online to bring a national artist to perform at their school.

Photography: Aston Martin Lagonda with Tomek Olszowski
Photography: Aston Martin Lagonda with Tomek Olszowski
Aston Martin Lagonda with Tomek Olszowski is a photography and retouching project shared by Recom Farmhouse and Tomek Olszowski on their Behance profiles. As they describe in the project: Cult cars don’t come much less conventional than the Aston Martin Lagonda. Only 645 were ever made, and they’re like no other car before or since. “The wedge-shaped body is the height of a Porsche 911 but over five metres long, with an outrageously space-age dashboard.” The photography and art direction of this project is simply amazing. There’s a classic noir mood, and despite the 70s appeal, it reminds me a lot of the 80s with the color palette used.
“This isn’t a car so much as a mobile pop-cultural mash-up, the intersection of a dozen different ideas, many of which are at odds with each other.” (Top Gear)
Project description
In this shoot, a touch of seventies noir accents the car’s angular forms, and we introduced it to the kind of driver which its retro-futuristic style deserves.

Sounds From Peru Make Their Mark at SXSW
Written by Yvonne Herrera
Sounds from Peru will be presenting a showcase for the first time at this year’s event.
The music of Peru can be characterized as the heartbeat of the country. Peru is home to music genres like festejo, andean music, and kantu. Each of Peru’s regions has its own distinguishing music that reflects its lifestyle, spirit, and surroundings.
POOOW! will kick off the show with their funky take on modern electro. The lineup also features folk band We The Lion and rock group MOBIVSTRIP. Lima-based Mundaka, a rock quartet, will have the crowd headbanging and moshing with their upbeat songs. Los Outsaiders return to the festival with their garage rock music, incorporating elements of Peru with hard rock. Singer Songwriter Gala Brie rounds off the showcase adding a different flavor and blending latin pop with electronic.
Check out the first Sounds From Peru showcase on Wednesday, March 15 at Trinity Hall.
Register to the event for primary access to premier nighttime music showcases, and industry-focused sessions. This year, the Music badge also gives you access to most Film Festival screenings and Interactive Conference sessions.
