Not just a university calendar

Amusing design by Jörg Block. I wish I can see such innovation being accepted by our local education arena soon. Well, you know, this takes time, very long time to happen.

Excerpt From Adobe Design Achievement Awards:

The illustrations were created for the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences research calendar. Each month illustrates a different project to demonstrate the variety of the university’s research activities for the general public. I used striking, funny, or droll images to inspire spontaneous interest in the featured research subjects. I intended the images to stimulate viewer curiosity about the concrete research activities referenced on the back of each calendar page and hope the viewer reads the detailed information there. The illustration subjects include marketing bio food, logistics systems, anesthesia technology, joining technology, bio diesel, and packaging.

Reviving the reefs

According to research, it takes decades to a century for damaged reefs to heal or re-grow. However, with the advanced technology we have, we might be able to shorten the time required to have the ocean filled with colourful reefs again.

EcoReef is a hybrid of technology and organic life. They look articifial on land but manage to attract the growth of wide varieties of baby corals and fish habitats than expected. To make this happen, the local activists use coral transplant technique to tie loose corals to the "antlers" of EcoReefs and let the nature does its wonder.

I hope Redang Island, Perhentian Island and others will adopt this initiative from our neighbouring country, Indonesia, soon. We have beautiful tropical islands in Malaysia but we do not have responsible civilians to protect them. It's about time.

For the love of black and white photographs, here's something non-related to black and white but somewhat related to it as well.

The posted video was created by Julien Vallée for a division of Bleublancrouge Montreal’s design/ad agency ; Black and White.

I came across a lot of fancy and really creative ads in a few ads-collectors' blogs. I might look into sharing them soon. Ahhh...laziness...

Hang it !

I imagine having my boss stuck on the wall with this.
Neat!
