VIV Mag Interactive Feature Spread – iPad Demo from Alexx Henry on Vimeo.

With the iPad edging closer and closer to it’s release date, here’s a little preview to the sort of content we can be expected to experience from one of the several new digital magazines set to become available.

Viv Mag’s editorial on ‘Sex Fears’ has been wonderfully visualised into a Frank Miller style noir by Alexx Henry and Andrew Grant with co-directors Cory Strassburger and Ming Hsiung. The result; a truely rich visual and interactive experience, with just a few swipes and presses the content comes to really comes to life. The potential is extroadinary…

From the colourful art scene in Bristol comes a rather unique exhibiton Tease Made, from artists Peskimo and Chris Dickason to help celebrate “the social rituals, history, iconography and biscuit dunking goodness of enjoying a cup of tea”, and about time too.

From this Friday, 19th March you can enjoy a nice cuppa with a biscuit or two, and admire graphic print, painting, illustrations and three dimensional pieces from established, and up and coming artists in the South West, all for a new art space Start.

Tease Made will be running from March 19 through to April 9 at Start, 7-9 Baldwin St, Bristol, BS1 1RU.

Some really nice graphic work from Alex Varanese, a artist/designer who likes red and confesses to spending nights and weekends trying to repair his time machine.

Love the use of roads and motorways as it almost becomes a more literal visualisation of the arteries which pump the life of our modern world.

“IT TAKES AS LONG AS IT TAKES”

How many times do you wish you could throw that one back at those pesky project managers or an unreasonable client.

This is one of the many gems from Wieden + Kennedy’s Studio blog site – a division of Goodness.
“You are observing a genuine shirt with a statement on it about the impossibility of making an activity take less time than it takes. Hindsight bears this out to such a degree that if a group of people is together looking backwards, it seems silly for anyone to even say it. But then the group turns to face forwards and that’s where this shirt comes in.” – designed by: Dani Guralnick
