Modelling digitally with reference to real-world materials like plastics and wood, German studio DepotVisuals build informational installations and imagine constructs that are just slightly too perfect and too whimsical to exist in the real world. Amazing stuff. Take a look at their work.
For her birthday late last year i created this poster for Shon; it is the dialogue from my phone of the few text messages that went into arranging our first date, then the first month of our relationship afterward.
American artist Carol Prusa works with acrylic globes and domes, illustrating incredibly detailed mathematical structures on a unique and subtly three-dimensional construct. Take a look at her portfolio of work.
I had wanted to create a piece for a while that nods towards one of my favourite films; 2001, and the visual simplicity of the film’s Tycho monolith with its silent, constant presence is obviously a perfect starting point. This is the first of (hopefully) a set of three prints and illustrates the moment immediately following the tragic impact of a small body against the large, omnipresent object.
Back in 2004 whilst at Kleber I was asked to create a site for Italian composer and producer Ferdinand Arno, promoting his studio; Quiet, Please! The concept had a special pre-requisite – the site was to have no descriptive words at all, so we’d need to look at an alternative way of communicating the concept. What started with that concept then evolved a couple of times over the next few years!
French agency Art Noble’s excellent Digital Temple magazine reaches its 11th issue and transcends from online publication to a fully realised print release – not an easy thing to achieve in the current climate. So, that is great news indeed. The magazine can be pre-ordered here.

Recently at Profission we’ve been beavering away on a brand new site for emerging production music agency Cinephonix, and we’re very pleased with the result. The site features a unique track filtering system aimed at providing the user with the perfect track – the filters react to the choices the user makes, removing incompatible options and reducing the huge library of tracks down to the most relevant items.
Marc Praquin is responsible for the excellent Design & Design site and yearbooks; a beautiful resource for print, packaging and industrial design, updated daily. Whilst I’ve had work featured on Design & Design a few times I’ve never paid Marc back the recognition he and his studio so absolutely deserves.

Josh Nimoy is responsible for some of the interface design and incredible supporting visual assets in Tron Legacy. Here he shares his work processes on last year’s blockbuster during his time at Digital Domain. Wonderful stuff.
This pretty stone was left by the previous owners of the the flat I bought about four or five years ago. I didn’t notice it for a while; fixed on a small marble shelf in the off-black fireplace in my lounge with candle wax. When I temporarily moved out I thought I should probably do something with it, and got to thinking about breaking the pebble in half and revisiting that initial impact, recording it and keeping it timeless.
