Working with clarinetist Adrian Cox, this collaboration is an experimental attempt to break the mold of traditional performance, combining jazz improvisation with McHugh's playful imagination to create a unique stage. The show took place in Bristol, and McHugh drew and projected short looping animations to accompany the music on stage. A snake swallows a cowboy and turns into a gramophone, and spaghetti turns into notes […]
Nick Liefhever's illustration 'Secret Herb Garden in the Woods'. Inspired by the mystical nature of the Middle Ages, he weaves tapestries to interpret powerful events in a new way. These works are hand-screen printed on rough warm white paper in four colours: golden yellow, royal ice blue, radial pink and deep black. "The fortress was reduced to ruins, watching the sky fall and the world grow stronger. The cavalrymen came over the hills in the still night […]

Image recognition AI startup TwelveLabs has rebranded in collaboration with Pentagram. They have been developing technology that helps machines understand images like humans, and this time they have unveiled a design language that visually expresses their philosophy. The key is the concept that 'images are not the flow of time, but volume.' Previously, images were only recognized as a horizontal flow of time in frames. However, TwelveLabs presents a new approach that recognizes the time axis spatially. In other words, information in images is linearly […]

Fluffy clouds, sparkling liquids, and soft, rubber-like textures are implemented to appeal to children's […]
Looooop Studio, known for its unique line art, has shared its new work, "Moving Nature." This project uses a single line to express the form and movement of animals. A horizontal line becomes a running cheetah, a stingray leaping from the water, a hopping gazelle, or a monkey slithering through a tree. The connected lines evoke the feeling of a living being born from nature. Looooop Studio explains, "The essence of the wild is captured in a single, unbroken […]

This is an article by designer Whisain Gai Lan, who created over 800 icons while rebranding Webflow. It shows an effort to maintain unity while having individuality. The sizes were limited to 16, 24, and 64, and the outer edges were rounded and the inner edges were angular to clearly express the internal space. The process of expressing abstract concepts such as AI help, data binding, and variables as icons is impressive. In order to draw a new icon that does not depend on objects like Apple's Command, 50 […]
