"An hour conversation with Tibor Kalman about his role in the fashion world, his interior design firm M & Company, his involvement with the Museum of Modern Art and MTV, his Hungarian background and his book "The Perverse Optimist", in which he chronicles his career from graphic journalist to business tycoon. He also discusses the inspiration of his fashion, his work for bands like "The Talking Heads" and his struggle with lymphoma."

Manifesto is an ongoing project that leaves the final result to one side so as to focus on the creative process.
It brings together under one roof the personal manifestos of some of today’s smartest and most renowned international designers.

Here is another video by Naomie Ross. She explains the letterpress in a very smooth picture. The look and feel is just there, and as you can see you also have some tracking motion in the type. This video seems to have only 15 seconds.

Hi everyone, we just found the master Haji Noor.
 

Haji Noor Deen Mi Guang Jiang is a renowned master of Arabic calligraphy. Born in 1963 in Shangdong province, China, he brings an immense learning in traditional thought and Islamic art to a modern audience, juxtaposing them in a new calligraphic style all his own, both Eastern and Western.

The Chinese and Arabic calligraphic traditions have often been compared as the two of the world's finest manifestations of the written word, but never likened; indeed, they are at once opposites and complements. When combined the result is an artistic piece that is a work of incredibly unique beauty, and a testimony to man's synthesizing genius.

When you have a look to the video It will seems easy doing caligraphy, but it is not. Takes many years to achieve this level. The most impressive is the style of this calligraphy, he gives us a new prespective on how we observe the arabic calligraphy. It looks strange when it is wrtten in such a freestyle way with all that writting rules but the final result is very nice.

By the way, yesterday I had my first lesson in arabic writing with Waleed Bahadi, thanks Waleed.
 

Taras Lesko, graphic designer, created a 4 foot long papercraft replica of the 2012 Audi A7 for their announcement event of this vehicle and display at the 2011 New York Auto Show. This model consists of 750 unique parts on 285 sheets of paper. The entire papercraft was completed after around 245 hours and it was very well received by the folks at Audi.

Amazing job!

Can good design save the newspaper?

It just might.
