Handspring Puppet Co. and ZANews at Design Indaba 2010
Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by heidi in 4669, Design, Politics
The Handspring Puppet company fascinated us all. We moved to the edges of our seats as they announced that they were about to bring their latest creation on stage. Moments later a tall horse was slowly walked in, all flowing movement and subtle expression. Truly breathtaking.
You had to be there.

Digital Conversations – Science or Art?
Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by kateelphick in Uncategorized
One of the things that I find so fascinating about social media, is that it transcends the traditional artificial barriers that we have erected in business, letting us do things we never thought possible, or that in the past were more trouble than they were worth.
For example, an Interactive (web 2.0 enabled) Intranet means that [...]

Designer of the Day – Miss Ingy
Posted on 08. Oct, 2009 by vincenthofmann in designer of the day
With a melancholic tone erring on the playful side, the designs of Inger Holstvig Faerch, or Miss Ingy, caught our eye. Her work is a blend of female intuition, a little introspection caught in the eyes of a playful young girl.
Moving from the commercial to the creative without fuss, the mark of someone who understands [...]
Weapon… (Illustration Project – Part 2)
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by AlainWilliam in Blogs
Possibly my favorite from the project. The theme of this piece was “Weapon” and I tried to show this boxer who’d “thrown the towel” in but had won (hence the subtle smile), because his weapon was knowing when to work away. Quite a stretch, I guess – but it’s probably my favorite piece from this [...]
Fear Of… (Illustration Project – Part 1)
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by AlainWilliam in Blogs
This was another part of my illustration project. This pieces theme was “Fear Of…” and I tried to illustrate (somewhat humorously) my previous fears of going to hell/dying alone. It’s meant to seem morbid, but have a cartoony edge to it because of how I can now take a situation that I once was depressed [...]
