When we set out to make this short, our intention simply was to observe the phenomenon of fashion bloggers and street style stars. As we started to review the footage, two salient trends became apparent: fashion editors frustrated by the ensuing commotion outside of shows, and the rise of “peacocking” street style stars as a result of the proliferation of blogs. This film examines these themes from both perspectives.

‘Interesting little film that shows the struggle behind painting walls, sanctioned or not. Well worth a watch for anyone that thinks graffiti/street art has gone mainstream.’ (Nuart)

(bron: http://fuzz-mag.be) Berlijn kon in het verleden rekenen op een rijke geschiedenis aan clubs. Internationaal stond de Duitse stad bekend om zijn levendige en rotsvaste uitgaansleven. Jammer genoeg gaat het de laatste jaren heel wat minder goed met de Berlijnse clubs. Politici erkennen het probleem en nemen nu zelf het heft in handen om te beschermen wat er nog overgebleven is. Ook het uitgaansleven in Londen staat op een laagtepunt, topclubs zoals Ministry Of Sound vechten om te overleven. België en Nederland hebben ook al kennis gemaakt met het fenomeen ‘Clubsterben’. Hoe moet het verder?

(source: pastemagazine.com) Gamers, graphic designers and kern-nerds alike will love this series of prints from Kentucky-based graphic designer Kody Christian. His videogame typography prints feature words and phrases from a specific videogame in the shape of the game’s most recognizable image, icon or character.

The classics are well represented. There’s a print for Pac-Man, which “channels the energy of the iconic Pac-Man and his ghost army” by featuring the yellow man himself and the only word in his lexicon: “waka.” Other classic video games in the series include Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog and Metal Gear Solid. Several recent favorites earned a place as well, like BioShock and Halo.

If you can’t choose just one, there’s a videogame typography design featuring the entire series on one print. All the designs are available as prints, iPhone cases, laptop skins, clothing and bags via the Nerdware store on Society6.

See a selection of the prints below.

Bicycle Culture and Style
I bike, therefore I am.

About This Book

Choosing to ride a particular bike conveys an attitude and a way of life. Velo—2nd Gear illuminates and celebrates contemporary bicycle culture’s diverse scenes. From classic racing bikes to high-tech speed machines, from rough fixies to fashionable city cruisers and hardworking cargo bikes, this book showcases today’s most outstanding and unusual bicycles and their riders.

Velo—2nd Gear not only introduces coveted manufacturers, specialized boutiques, and historical tours. It also explains how each bike-related scene cultivates its own distinct codes through the choice of certain frames, jerseys, caps, or bags or by visiting specific events or key establishments. In doing so, the book shows why, for more and more people, bicycles have now replaced cars as the vehicles that best express their identity.
