First and foremost, I would like to thank CyanaTrendLand for the opportunity to be the premiere guest blogger. For my first entry, I would like to draw attention to Michael C. Place. In 2001, he conceptualized and developed London based design firm Build. Between building a brand and name and his feature in the film Helvetica, his work caught the attention of the good folks of Refill7.
Recently a set of laser etched skate decks were released to the public for purchase and exhibit in the MTV Gallery Space in Sydney. Refill7, the curator for these exhibits produced a carefully crafted series of skate decks pictured below.
The deck pictured above next to the Alife’s (bottom right) is Michael C. Places’. His deck merits attention to detail almost resembling the rings of a old redwood tree. Either way, I found the following video inspirational because it was a ‘tip-of-the-cap’ to his artwork and Pritt white-out roller pens. Upon the same token, this is refreshing to see because many folks do not sketch their ideas before the implementation of a design. Take note of the brainstorming session and sketches that go to work before implementation. You can also get read my blog and see my work at DesignRehab-dotcom. Enjoy.
