Formerly a senior designer with Carlos Segura at Segura, Inc. (Chicago), Tnop is originally from Bangkok, Thailand, and was schooled in the States at the Savannah College of Art and Design. One of Thai’s most impressive exports, Tnop has an eclectic variety of works stemming from typography to identity design. Browse through his portfolio here, pity there isnt more information about him or his projects.

This is a brief video reflects students at Hyper Island dealing the process with clients, briefs and challenges in 5 short days.

Hyper Island started in 1995 when Jonathan Briggs, David Erixon and Lars Lundh met during a project involving a CD-rom production. They soon realized the increasing need of a different kind of education involving industry based learning, for the growing new media industry. The first long term program at Hyper Island started in Karlskrona in an old prison in 1996 with 32 students.

Here is another video on introducing What is Hyperisland?

DC will be away for the next few days, as we’re both heading off on holidays in opposite directions at Tokyo, Japan and Singapore. I’ll be down under for a few days to check out Singapore design festival, meet friends and buy christmas presents, while Pat will be enjoying a much deserved rest in Tokyo the next two weeks. We thank all those who came for DC Conversations Creative Sisters, which I heard went quite well, and we’ll see you next week.
Cheers and have a good weekend!

Came across IA (Information Architects) who do some really enlightening work for series of newspaper publications in europe and uncovered an analytic piece on their ‘beautiful’ failure, which IA took part in a pitch for the redesign of Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeige. Through the article, IA brings us thoroughly through the process of the idea, development and defined choices for their new redesign, and even dives into why they failed the pitch.

They leaves us with a short slideshow/downloadable pdf of their presentation, for interested parties to scrutinize this as a case study. Simply quite wonderful for such a revealing reflection of a newspaper project, do take a look here.
