4-DAY-PROJECT: LUNGS

Currently working on my very first uni project. The brief asks us to work in a group of 5 or 6 people in order to explain a human body organ in a visual and entertaining way. Our group has 6 people (Hari, Gabi, David, Kerry, Chardy and me) and we've got to work on the LUNGS! I've been doing a bit of research and on the way, this song called Between two Lungs by Florence and The Machine just stuck in my head. Still have 1 more day to go and then the crit on Friday. Gotta try my/our best.

FAVOURITE PHOTOGRAPHER 2: MAI-PHUONG TRINH

I know this girl by looking around on Facebook. She's a friend of friend. I have been 'watching' her for a while and truly think that she's absolutely talented, especially at this young age. She's only 19 and already has quite a body of works. I love it even more when she uses film instead of digital. There is always something in her photos that I can't exactly find the words to describe. A sense of mood. You feel it and it's just that. At least, that's how her photos appear to me.

BETES DE MODE by HELMO

Photo Credits
Bete de Mode is a photographic installation for Galleries Lafayette created by Helmo (a graphic design firm based in Paris, France) in collobration with Thomas Dimetto. The fashion portraits in blue print (taken by Laurent Croiser) layers on the animal portraits which is in red print (taken by Christophe Urbain). I think it's purely beautiful and absolutely clever. And I'm even more excited when I know that the scale of these installation is 5 * 8 meters! 

[BIRDY] SHELTER

I didn't realize that the one who sings Skinny Love and Shelter is the same person: Birdy. She's amazing. Her voice touches my soul. Listening to her is more like breathing the fresh air in. Lovely. Tender. Sweet. The video clip is so simple but just right. I love the mood in the whole video. 

MAGMA: PRINTED MATTER by KAREL MARTENS

I went to Magma twice and I have to say that the book shop is quite lovely. I have that feeling of going back there for more inspiration. There were quite few books that appealled to me. One of them is Printed Matter by Karel Martens. I love the material as it is printed on uncoated paper and Chinese-bound. The book itself is already pretty and inspiring. I also like the informal caption written in this book. The layout is fun too as images and texts just randomly float on the page but still in order which I love. But yea, I didn't buy the book as the cost is not so cheap and I'm not even sure if it's that practical, so instead I bought The 3D Type Book by FL@33. By the way, I'm so in love with the sandwich bar near by. My favourite chicken and bacon sandwich was only less then 2 pounds and it tastes superatively great (compared to its price). Definitely going back!
