I loved watching this short film! It was directed by Tomas Mankovsky, and you can see the making of it here.

An interesting bottle design for Matsu wines by Moruba. The label includes “portraits series of three generations that devote their lives to the field.” Great idea!

These cans were designed by BBDO Guerrero. “100 of these cans were installed around Manila to encourage donations and show the difference that a small donation to Childhope can make a street child’s life.” (Notes from TheDieline). It is certainly a smart design with an optical illusion effect that will capture the contributor’s eye.

The best video I’ve seen this month. “Hi,” created for design and technology event, Multitouch Barcelona. Filmed at hangar, and music by Lullatone. The concept is just well-thoughout, original, and a joy to watch on video.

Diego Stocco has composed the soundtrack for “The Conduit,” a first-person shooter game for Nintendo’s Wii (developed by High Voltage Software and distributed by SEGA). He uses daily objects to create unique musical instruments. Watch the video of the making.

Diego comments:

For this project I created a large amount of ambiences, tonal distortions, massive drums and percussions by using various unusual acoustic and electronic instruments. In some cases, also for the orchestral sounds I experimented with signal processing to alter their original color and character.

It isn’t that common to see new prints for wet suits. These designs were created by Diddo.

Notes about the suits by the creator:

Is there some unwritten law that dictates we shed our individuality to blend into the monotone waters? Not to challenge Mother Nature’s art direction but it’s high time for a change.

With that in mind, I took up the challenge to create an alternative. With custom inks and unique printing techniques, I was able to map textures onto the suits to create original designs that evoke the mysteries of the seas.
