We are pleased to announce that some of our work has been feaured in the Rockport book "The Graphic Designer’s Electronic-Media Manual". It was written by Jason Tselentis and discusses how to apply visual design principles to engage users on desktop, tablet, and mobile websites.



"This comprehensive resource for graphic designers will help you merge traditional print design skills with new technology to create imaginative, informative, and useful online experiences for clients and ultimately the end users. The Graphic Designer’s Electronic-Media Manual focuses on reigning in the specific skills and tools necessary for creating design projects for the web and beyond. You'll also find a rich collection of sound design examples for the web from studios around the world. Unlike other books on web and electronic media, this book is not a technical manual, but a visual resource packed with real-world examples of design for the web."

You can purchase a hard copy or eBook through Qbookshop.  READ MORE

Chinese artist Shi Jindian creates three-dimensional sculptures crafted from steel wire. He starts by wrapping around his subject matter until it creates a 3D mesh. The object is then either carefully removed or destroyed, leaving only its metal shadow behind.


The result, he says, is a kind of fiction, a virtual reality that can be walked around and touched. His Blue CJ750 (2008) is a replica of the Chiangjiang [Yangtze], a military bike based on an early BMW. Beijing Jeep’s Shadow (2007) translates the chassis of an army jeep into an object of pure contemplation, a kind of dream - which a car long was for millions of Chinese. Each of the works is accurate to the smallest detail. They took years to make, but he found serenity in the toil. When people touch his sculptures, he says, they also touch “the state of mind that emerges from the labour of my hands: tranquillity and calm”.
