Scouting New York

“For the past four years, I’ve worked as a New York City location scout finding locations for feature films. I’ve been pretty much everywhere at this point, from the highest rooftops to the deepest subway tunnels, from abandoned ruins to zillion-dollar luxury penthouse apartments. What always amazes me about New York is how much there is to see if you pay attention. Every street has a hidden gem or two, and yet they go largely ignored by thousands of passersby daily who simply don’t have the time to look around them.”  His images and comments are quirky and compelling and made your devoted blogger go “huh” more than once. — A.M.

“We need help with the Zamboni!”  That’s a sentence you can wait a career to hear.  But Michael Courtney Design (Seattle) heeded the call to brand the Zamboni that clears the ice for the mighty Everett Silvertips. Read more about that — and other projects — on their new blog. — A.M.

“Brand New is a division of UnderConsideration. Its sole purpose is to chronicle and provide opinions on corporate and brand identity work, focusing mostly on identity design and a modest amount of packaging. We cover redesigns and new designs. Nothing more, nothing less, what you see is what you get. As long as corporations, non-profit organizations and consumer products keep changing or are being introduced into the market we will be here, providing our opinions one post at a time. We hope you enjoy it.” (Thanks to Aussie SEGDer Jack Bryce for the lead!) — A.M. Exit Speed hd Twin Daggers Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights buy

Tali Krakowsky asks, “Is that which exists in reality greater than that which exists in the mind? At the SEGD Conference in San Diego, Brian Collins was moderating a debate about and between so-called ‘thinkers’ and ‘doers’ in design. I hear this topic come up a lot. There are constant status battles between conceptual thinkers and designers/builders/makers/programmers.”  Read more

Universal Soldier: The Return video Mighty Aphrodite divx “Like a lot of creative work, design is most exciting when the author steps out of the scene and allows the elements to live on their own. It’s a hard thing to do and a hard thing to teach. It’s not a style or look, but a sensitive relationship to the work. If the elements are actors, and the page a stage, and the viewer is the audience, then how do you put the show together? What will they say? How will they react? If the page is a frozen moment, then what came before and what will happen after the page is turned? These are questions that film directors, novelists, and artists consider all the time. And these are useful strategies for keeping one’s work honest and enduring. It is an achievement to create something that feels newly alive every time we admire it, something that stays young even as it ages, like a fantastic old recording or a classic silent film. This is neither revivalism nor irony. A lot of design has achieved this transcendence. I don’t know if any of it was created with these questions in mind, but I do know that that is how I attempt it, and the only way I can teach it.”
