Good Morning!
Jonathan Zawada.

hello monday!

My friend Vikki Ing is finishing her (Fashion Styling) studies at the Whitehouse Institute of Design.
She will be holding an exhibition with her graduating class at the PYD building (197 Young St, Waterloo, NSW) in this 12th Nov Thursday.

Vikki's major work is titled "Press Play", It is a collaboration between up and coming creatives. A concept exploring music and the visual image, we’ve adapted more commercial styles of media and taken the next step to make something a little unconventional all in the name of creating. It removes the pretention from band photography and makes it fun again.

So If you are free, come along and check out the works and have some drinks.

I have contributed some images in her published zine as part of her major works, it was a good little project and I can't wait to see the layout of the zine, thanks to our amazing mate Alex finishing the layout till 3am last week to get it to print.

I think there are editions of a 1,000 of the zine printed, so if you are lucky... you should be able to get yourself a copy and have a good look after the show.

See y'all there.

My friend Dinta and Stacia just started a new project together called Dreamers and Believers.
Like many art collectives, they both met during design school and after many late nights fueled by good conversations and wine, a project/web identity begins.

I am a fan of projects using tumblr instead of a very plain folio website.
The Tumblr set up is great, not only because other people can reblog and comment on your ideas.
The chronological order of the tumblr posts also gives the publisher the power to define a personality / a voice to their ideas, which I think most established design studios lack, the humanity behind their ideas.

If you like fluffy things and vintage imagery, definitely check out Dreamers and Believers for a visual feed.

whoa.

THIS IS AMAZING.
Educational and hilarious at the the same time.

This is part of the book...

" In the late 90s in Japan, the assumption that people would be lucky to have their private lives publicized was taken one ste further when a weekly “reality” show called Denpa Shonen featured a naked man locked in a room where he had to subsist ob only what he could win from sweepstakes advertised in a pile of magazines he was given. His place in the room was the prize he received after winning a raffle; he wasn’t told he’d be filmed. He went long stretches of time crying and eating nothing but rice cooked in a tin can. The crew left him inthere for more than a year before they told him that his confinement was being broadcast all over the country.

The show received stellar ratings."

Friday night was the Duke Magazine's 4th Annual Mutant Dance Off.
It was a massive night with some amazing costumes and dance moves on show.
I think my body still hurts from competing on the night.
