Of course we are delayed, but we are still having fun and hope that you will join in the fun. Just a little sample below…

The golden arch now serves form & function

Less is more. Now even for McDonald’s. At least at the ‘Quarter Pounder’, a concept restaurant in Japan, where the menu’s simplicity, seen below, is reminiscent of In’n'Out, and the graphic design a near-direct copy of Mini, but a fantastic store design and great marketing idea.

Thanks to past GD-Intern Marco for the heads-up. More images and thoughts can be found here.

I see the light.

Always inspired by seeing designers come up with new and unique solutions to age-old tasks, which are often labeled as being boring or mundane, like designing a lamp. Some might say ‘It’s all been done before’ and some opt out to just try a bit harder. This blog post my designer Julia found today shall serve as inspiration to all young designers to try harder and invent, or at least to re-invent.

(11.17 Addition: Just had to add this series of ‘dog lamps’ I found today to the mix.)

Dior’s Runway Show

Watching the first 70 seconds of the Dior Homme Summer/Spring 2008 Runway show is a treat. An amazing reveal of a great location paired with a custom soundtrack (titled ‘Planisphere’), appropriately composed (or maybe better put ‘altered’) by french electro hipsters Justice, make this an amazing brand enhancer. You can view it on their web site, even though you will have to navigate to find it (deep linking would be a nice feature), or download the entire show as a whooping 87 MB file courtesy of the nice folks of Ohh Crapp here.

As of this season’s style, I have a feeling that I will be more impressed by the new John Varvatos collection, which we have the pleasure of rolling out via their (Geyrhalter Designed) web site within a week.

Colors and shapes - waking up a designer

A simple and smart way to wake up, and stay up. The alarm stops ringing, only once the user puts the three shapes into their right places. In case you have an early call, or a plane to catch, you might want to hide them all over the room. Found via Austrian lifestyle magazine ‘Rondo’, one can start waking up in color via this site.

The Image Fulgurator.

A quite intriguing invention by an artist from Berlin: ‘The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.’

Lots of great guerilla campaigns could be created on a very low budget, lots of political events could be scrutinized and press conferences could have devastating results. Thank you Hans for the inspiration.

The Fence & The Wall

Fabian Geyrhalter — Mon, 19 May 2008 02:22:39 +0000

I will get to Part II of the Serious Play conference review shortly, but as my life so very often plays out, I am crazy busy. In the interim I share two pieces of inspirations that Geyrhalter Design team members Julia Hou and Marco Vides have brought to my attention in the past week. First off is the stunning fence work by dutch design house Demakersvan:

I am taken by the creativity that went into the juxtaposition. It’s the beauty of life that you can get surprised by beautiful new ideas being born every day. ‘Everything has already been done before,’ I often hear people say in the design world. Well, I think the glass is rather half full then half empty, but that’s just my personal belief and I keep being stunned by new ideas every day.

Marco shared this ‘wall painted animation’ by MUTO with me. A day later I have received the link from an old friend, so before everybody has already seen it, I wanted to share this insane graffiti 2.0 piece with you (OK, not sure if Graffiti 2.0 has been a term sofar…).

Love it. Want it. Flag it. Prof-it.

Domino Magazine, ‘the guide to living with style’, did something quite interesting in their current issue. An ad insert features sticker flags (think post it-flags) with different categories on it. It engages the readers to utilize their content as a shopping inspiration while leveraging their advertisers’ buys. On top of that it promotes their online registry and web site in general once the flag is removed. Quite a lot of marketing tasks fullfilled on one single page. And above all, it transforms a passive experience into an extremely engaging active experience. Bravo.
