EUROSTAR MAGAZINE PROCESS

listening to: The Smiths – Sheila Take A Bow

As a coincidence to the previous post i have just finished a couple of little editorials for the latest issue newly redesigned Eurostar magazine. I thought it might be nice to show a couple of pages of my sketch book and the finals to show how I worked it up from brain to paper...

BRAVO Nils Guadagnin

Listening to: the sounds of the cat snoring next to me.



HOVERBOARD - NILS GUADAGNIN from nils guadagnin on Vimeo.

The Hoverboard is a project born in 2008 for an exhibition named "Back To the future". This work is a copy of the hoverboard from the movie Back to the Future II. Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air.
In the making of this work, I was thinking about different ways of presenting sculpture. In fact it's a reflexion on the multiple possibilities of how to give a sculpture full spatial autonomy.

At least once every couple of months ill be blown away with what technology can do. Recently THIS. Eventually the conversations lead to, 'yeah thats amazing, but if they can do that, why dont we have hover boards yet?'.

The video is really nicely shot and seems to capture the playful nature of the piece pretty well. For me the fact that its permanently stationary is a real twists to the piece, it can no longer function when it tries to complete its purpose.  The hover board is designed to wizz us around the world of tomorrow, yet this can leave the magnetic plynth it hovers above for fear that gravity might pull it back down to 2010. 2010!!!! shouldnt we have hover boards by now....

An editorial, about the revenge of the nerds. Bit close to home this one. Might even become a print sometimes soon.

EUROSTAR MAGAZINE

Listening to: Our last FM



I was Just looking for some files breifly on my frankly antiquated computer and came across a couple of illustrations i worked on last month for the newly redesigned eurostar magazine including the one above. Although it didnt quite fit in to the full portfolio section of the site there is something i quite like...

In short the article was about The Périphérique, a road surrounding the center of Paris.

The Périphérique is as much a pschological barrier as a geographical one: not just ugly, polluting and deafening, but grotesque as well. Ghettos, housing estates, every megalopolis has its open wounds, but none other has this hideous belt of contention.

What better time to post this than when i start another 4 drawings for the same magazine. who knows what i might learn over the course of the afternoon.

happy learning people

So we have been pretty busy here at Telegramme Working hard on the digital side of our output. Its kind of nice to sit back with a coffee and see whats been done of late and take stock. And stock taking (in a sense) is what we have here...

NEW SITE FOR THE BOOK CLUB:



Working with a custom Wordpress Template we created a simple, striking, calendar based site for everyones favourite east london creative hangout with a table tennis table, The BOOK CLUB.  We have become pretty fond of wordpress, using it as an effective CMS system allowing the client to update and add to their website, keepping the content fresh and informative and direct from the client.

NEW SITE FOR THE QUEEN OF HOXTON

On a similar note we have also reworked the QUEEN OF HOXTON website with a brand new calendar system and stripped back, simple styling to compliment the venues interior deisgn.

PERCIVAL WEBSITE



Anouther Custom built Wordpress site incorporating the Beautiful video by Alex Turvey we commissioned. A full shop will be built in to the site over the coming months as we develop custom e commerce and further exspand Percivals online presence.

So you can see we have been a little taken by wordpress. The possibilities are pretty exciting and we continue to experiment, both commmercially and out of hours. We are currently designing and building a site for POSTER ROAST, a project we are involved in, bringing the UK gig poster artists together for the first time online to showcase and sell their work. The full site should be online later this week/early next week. keep your eyes peeled. until then if you are interested in finding out more of our web design/build services please give us a shout at hello@telegramme.co.uk

monday love.

UP THERE

Listening to: NEW HOT CLUB EP

Thanks to loligo for sending me a link to this Beautiful Film by Stella and Malcolm Murray.

' Shot high above the streets of New York City, UP THERE reveals the dying craft of large-scale hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters struggling to keep it alive.

Capturing a trade that is equal part artistic precision and grueling labor, the film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction. '

Well there you go. pretty much sums it up.

This is infact an elaborate 'making of' for the Stop frame animation at the end of the film.

The campaign was again driven by MOTHER, they have been consistantly knocking out beautiful, effective campaigns for Stella for some time.  From the  Aesthetic apperatus screenprinted posters to the smooth origionals campaign

with incredable posters by Robert Mcginnis.

I still cant get over how wonderful these posters are..



This new sign painting campaign has wonderful genuine  feel lost from many recent campaigns that are tapping in to craftsmen and creatives both traditional or modern to create a 'heritage' or force the brand to support 'creativity'.

As we see agencies looking for something tangible and physical to let the public relate to the brand, we see them use names (bands/creatives/other products) without actually focusing on the skills or art created by these individuals and often ignoring the brands' context or relation to these people/crafts. SO its great to see Stella and mother have supported something geniuinly interesting and retained their own context within the campaign.. 10 points all round. especially to sky high murals.

Serious point over. Just enjoy the wonderful videos.
