Computer Arts Projects!!






This month we have been included in the Future Trends issues of Computer Arts Projects!

In the issue we are featured in a showcase that touches on the idea of the direction that design may go in the future. Upcoming designers from all over the world are represented and we were lucky enough to be included. The work used is from our "World in One City" exhibition along with our finalist piece from the Konica Minolta design competition.

In addition to this david gave a small interview.

Behind closed doors


Behind Closed Doors:
For the Titan Illustration in Design International Competition.
This image is a humorous take on the organized chaos and day to day life of people in a communal space, like an apartment building.. It is intended to show the varied lifestyle and antics of a broad spectrum of people who live in close quarters, and to illustrate the fascination with peoples' private lives that society has today. The overall aim is simply to show the viewer what goes on 'behind closed doors'.

Community

Community: Another poster entry for dontpanic.com
the theme as you can tell is community, for this we wanted to show a very close urban community like those of brooklyn and little italy.
Narrow streets littered with washing, people leaning out of windows talking, on their way to work.
The core of a community is its people and this is what we wanted to show!

Don't Panic 'Little Big Planet' character entries..


Konica Mintola 'Get Yourself Noticed' Illustration Finalist.

The theme for this design was " The future of graphic design"
Our idea was simple its not technology that changes design , its the ideas!
So with taking current environmental issues into context, we depicted a modern city bustling with ideas. These ideas are constantly being used and re-used with the times.
As happens now, ideas are new then they become retro , then classical and finally someone revamps the idea and they are modern once again

Terra Gauda Wine Competition Finalist!

This design was for the 2008 Francisco Mantecon design competition.
The brief  for this competition is simple: to design a poster for the wine company Bodegas Terras Guada.

With no limitations on the subject matter we could depict, we decided wine being enjoyed at a civilized dinner party.
Using a classical style, not relying on large amounts of tone but using simple colours and shapes to create the image.
