7-Eleven Rebranding

BVD redesigned their coffee identity for the Swedish market. Which unfortunately means that we may not see this in the states for a while, or ever. Regardless, the stripes combined with the number “7” are really what make this identity so great.

The Shelby White Podcast
January 7th, 2013
A few months ago I started The Shelby White Podcast to talk with friends and people I look up to about design and life. Past guests have included James White / Signalnoise, Jeff Sheldon / Ugmonk, Jordan Butcher, Shaun Tinney, and Glenn Thomas—many more great folks to come.
On Tuesday, January 8th @ 3PM the podcast returns with guests Alex Cornell and Jordan Butcher. This episode we’ll talk about that Facebook redesign floating around and redesigns done by people outside of the company. Future episodes of the podcast will range from design & technology to space & life. Also if you have any guest suggestions please let me know. I’m always excited to hear feedback.
Update: Podcast episodes are now on iTunes.
Car Built with Painted Human Bodies

Emma Hack, the skin painter/illustrator that did the Gotye video we all know about, created this really wild optical illustration of a car. She used 17 men and women to lay in the form of the car. The project was created in support of the Motor Accident Commission of South Australia. They used it as a way to highlight the dangers of speeding. Via Scene360.

Vintage Apple Sneakers from the 90’s
December 18th, 2012
The fact that Apple actually created this sneakers in the 90s is awesome. The iconic logo from Apple’s past is what makes the shoes sexy. Unfortunately they weren’t publicly for sale, but they are out there somewhere and I’d love to own a pair.

Costa Esmeralda House by BAK Arquitectos
December 16th, 2012
BAK Architects is known for creating beautiful concrete homes in Mar Azul, Argentina. This house was also built in Mar Azul as a summer home. Words from the architect:
We decided to solve the house in two volumes perpendicularly intersecting in “L” at different levels, opting to provide more privacy to the volume that contains the private uses of the house by resting over the level of the lot and placing it perpendicular to the front. The higher volume, of public use, is resolved alongside the front line taking advantage of the acacia trees that provide privacy and allow the enjoyment of the far views into the wilderness environment, in turn its elevated position sought to provide the house some presence from the street leaning out slightly above the level of the acacias. This volume was generated as an elongated prism, supported at one end over the volume of the bedrooms.

As you know, pure shape systems are my favorite. Fortunately Hana Tanimura has created some prints inspired directly by the Navy’s signal flags. The flags are used to communicate while maintaining radio silence.
