Christian Louboutin jest kolejnym projektantem zafascynowanym magicznym światem Alicji w Krainie Czarów. Jego kampania reklamowa na jesień/zimę 2010/2011 pełna jest nieziemskich obrazków i powiązań butów z magią.
Nowa reklama Louboutina jest dziełem zdolnych grafików komputerowych, którzy wkomponowali obuwie w krainę fantazji. Królują w niej latające buty, podłogi pokryte są mchem a dookoła biegają leśne zwierzęta. Najbardziej podoba nam się obrazek przedstawiający pękniętą kulę, z której wylatuje gołąb jednocześnie uwalniając srebrną szpilkę ze słynną, czerwoną podeszwą.
Projektant nie widział dotąd potrzeby reklamowania swojego obuwia. W majowym numerze Vanity Fair wyznał, iż "nie wierzy w siłę reklamy i marketing". Co wpłynęło na zmianę zdania? Tego nie wiemy, być może nie wiedzie mu się ostatnio najlepiej. Nawet mimo takich klientek: Daniele Steele ma 6 tysięcy par szpilek od Louboutina. Cieszymy się, ponieważ powstałe zdjęcia są ucztą dla oczu. Żałujemy jedynie, że nowe buty nie wnoszą raczej nic nowego do dotychczasowego dorobku projektanta. Mamy wrażenie, są powtórką z tego, co już widziałyśmy w jego kolekcjach.

I am Patrick Monkel. A freelance graphic designer living in The Netherlands. This is the place to check my graphic works online. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or just want to drop a line. Took my first breath on the 16th of August 1980. Studied Multimedia Engineering in Amsterdam and active in design for the past 7 years. I love what i do and interested in all kinds of art. At the moment I do several types of graphics such as flyers, posters, magazines and web graphics. If you want to see more, you can follow me on the sites shown on the right.
This interview is totally awesome with the Polish graphic designer and digital illustrator Wojciech Magiersky aka M4gik. He give us all access to his work and tell us some secrets, check it out!
Lets start up with the usual, tell us about yourself?
My name is Wojciech Magierski aka m4gik. I am a graphic designer from Poland. I live in Cracow most beautiful polish city :) My passion is creating and designing graphic. Actually it's my job and I love it. I'm especially focused on photo manipulation and illustration.
When did you start this passion for design and graphics, and what did you do to take it further and turn it in to your profession?
I have always loved painting and drawing. My uncle is a well-known Polish sculptor, and my mother makes professional artistic jewelery, so I think I have inherited my art passion after them. When I got my first computer I used it first only for playing games. A couple years later I started creating some graphics in the Photoshop. I realized that I could replaced painting on the paper by painting in the Photoshop. It was my great hobby.
After I had finished the high school, I decided to continue that and start studies combining my computers skills and my passion for art. It was a wonderful idea, because I realized that it was just what I would like to do as my proper job. Currently, I try to develop and improve my skills and I try to get better all the time. At the moment, I work for an creative agency based in Krakow and I'm happy that I do what I love.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of great digital illustrator and designers from Poland. What kind a support the country gives to people who want to follow this path of design?
You are right. There are a lot of talented digital artists on a international level in Poland, but we have few schools where you can learn graphic design skills. It is still new subject for our colleges. They don't follow market needs. I hope it will be changed soon. I know that education is very important, but in my opinion, it is one of many factors to be successful. I know many graphics designers, who didn't graduated any collages but achieve their goals successfully. From my point of view, if you discover your passion, talent and determination in doing that, you will be one of the best :)
Lets talk a bit about your work, looking at your work is obviously that you have unbelievable skills and a very creative mind, how do you define your style?
Thanks for nice words. I very appreciate your opinion. I have a little bit problem with defining my style. I'm still on researching a way if you know what I mean. I would like to try many things, experience them, surprise others by doing something new and fresh.
Where do you find inspiration to create such awesome pieces?
I think that everything that surrounding you, may be your inspiration. Sometimes just one detail can make that you feel yourself creative and inspired. If you are sensitive man, you can see deeply then others. I have also my favorite time to create new projects - it is time just before sleeping. Besides, I very like review abduzeedo website and the famous Daily Inspirations to meet something interesting for me.
Tell us about your process of creating, how do you go from nothing to a very complex final image?
In the beginning, is an idea. But it is very common that during creating process most things are changed so finally effect is quite different that initial one. It attaches great importance to composition. From my point of view, it is really significant element in designing. When every element suits to others - adding some next, is quite easy. After that I looked for proper light and colours to make my project dynamic and interesting.
I noticed you do a lot of collab work, how important you think that is for your work and what do you learn from these experiences?
If you do collab work, you can learn a lot. And it is great fun ! There were nice experiences for me. I do it with pleasure. In case of Mike Campau, I liked his CG COVER GIRL. I suggest him co-operation in doing something together. He agreed and we did great project, which was awarded in one of the graphic portals.
Imagine the scene: it’s the year 2222, centuries into the future. Vogue doesn’t exist, neither does Armani. London is war-torn as an army of fashion creatives moves forward to make a new mark on the world. ‘The Next Generation’ if you will, the breed of unknown talent set for the future, the ones to watch for in years to come.
Such was the concept behind London’s Calling, a project set up by professional networking site Nineteen74.com’s founder Raoul Keil in collaboration with creative agency Factory 311’s Nicholas Hardy. Designed to bring together some of the hottest young talent around, the result was a team made up of Nineteen74.com’s ever-growing membership base not only from London, but across the globe; among them a French photographer, a German model, an Israeli designer, and of course a South African-based magazine. Evidence, if ever it was needed, of the internet’s reach. In total some 40 people were involved in one way or another in the making of this single dynamic image.
“The aim was to have an all-encompassingtroop. We considered everybody necessary to make this work, from the hairstylist through to the journalist,” says Raoul. The shoot itself took place at Spring Studios in London, with photographer Fabrice Lachant, stylist Semra Haksever and make-up artist Steven Canavan at the creative helm. From models poised to look as if they were moving, to the masterpiece sketches inspired by old war images and a kind of fantasy land, it was the innovative genius of 311’s creative director Pierre Doucin and the beauty of computer generation that brought the whole thing together. Say hello to Nineteen74.com’s fashion soldiers of the future; it’s a revolution in the making

Kilka dni temu pokazałyśmy Wam wideo zapowiadające sesję zdjęciową z pierwszego numeru magazynu 25 redagowanego przez Anję Rubik – zobacz: Pierwszy numer magazynu 25. Krótki, półtoraminutowy filmik przykuł naszą uwagę nietypową, rysunkową zawartością. Dziś prezentujemy go Wam w formie zdjęciowej.
Wersja anglojęzyczna dostępna jest pod adresem: www.25magazine.com
Anja zaprosiła do współpracy swoje najsławniejsze koleżanki - Abbey Lee Kershaw, Karmen Pedaru,Valeriję Kelavę, Alanę Zimmer, Karlie Kloss oraz Marynę Linchuk. Dziewczyny stanęły przed obiektywem utalentowanego Polaka, Mateusza Tyszki. Nad zamianą ich w rysunkowe postacie pracował sam Tomasz Sadurski, rysownik i ilustrator mody mieszkający na stale w Berlinie i współpracujący z takimi tytułami jak Vanity Fair czy Elle.
To, co wyszło z tej gwiazdorskiej współpracy jest czymś więcej niż przeciętną sesją zdjęciową. Rysunkowe wersje modelek kojarzą nam się bardziej ze sztuką. Wiele razy podkreślałyśmy, iż moda i sztuka to bardzo zbliżone do siebie dziedziny. Mateuszowi i Tomkowi udało się przekroczyć tę cienką granicę. Z ogromną przyjemnością oglądamy delikatną kreskę Tomka i jego rozmyte, pastelowe kolory.
