Unexpected
Beautiful CGI and visual FX for HBO Unexpected by Umeric.
Lucas Simoes
Just when you think you have seen about all you could bear from the collage trend you stumble upon work from someone like Brazilian artist Lucas Simões and are once again ensnared.
Wim Crouwel ‘in his own words’ by Toon Lauwen
Another nice gem now available by the wonderful folks at Typotheque, this looks like a beauty and surely one for all to digest as time and capacity allow. Here is a bit of text from Typotheque:
Wim Crouwel ‘in his own words’ presents a selection of lectures and articles delivered by Wim Crouwel between 1973 and 2006. Crouwel’s texts, who has lectured all over the world, document a lengthy and important career as a designer (professor and museum director) that spans from the early postwar years until the first decennium of the 21st century. The book mirrors a highly committed professional: a pragmatist, critical observer and at some decisive points: a utopian even. The outgoing/diplomatic character of Crouwel, who has always dressed immaculately, is shown in a small portfolio of portraits, made by different photographers over a period of almost sixty-five years.

The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club by Peter Hook (Special Edition)
DESCRIPTION
Foruli Publications have recently announced the launch of the luxury special edition of Peter (Hooky) Hook’s highly praised memoir ‘The Haçienda: How Not To Run A Club’.
With the full co-operation of Hooky himself, Foruli’s design team and craftspeople have created a boxed set which is the ultimate testament to the Haçienda’s legacy and an essential collectors’ piece.
“The idea of doing a limited edition book came as a shock at first but when you see how beautiful the packages are and obvious respect that has gone into creating them they really evoke and bring to life the original graphic identity and ethos of the Haçienda. The club’s design and identity was always funded with no thought of expense. Whether one person or a thousand saw it, it prioritised Art well above money. Foruli have managed to immortalise my original book with these special editions and I have to say I’m delighted with the result. They are what I can only call works of art.”
Peter Hook
The book is available to order for delivery in early 2011
