Snow Art - Simon Beck

Artist Simon Beck has been creating amazing geometrical snow drawings using only his snow-shoe-clad feet, a load of time and luck with the forecast (if it snows before he's finished, he's pretty well scuppered).

The results are stunning:

Here are some similar snow art images, by Sonja Hinrichsen:

Can Football Brands get any bigger.

The days of just buying the club shirt, a scarf and maybe a duvet cover with your favourite player on are definitely over.

Football Mega Brands are continuing to go global, in bigger and bolder ways, always trying to outdo each other to fund the super rich stars of today and tomorrow.

Real Madrid's latest venture is to build the 'Real Madrid Resort' a 1 billion dollar development in the United Arab Emirates that is due to open in January 2015.

More than half their estimated 300 million followers are based in Asia so this is definitely a strategic step that will strengthen their institution in the Middle East and Asia.

Real Madrid Resort Island will include exclusive villas, a 5-star hotel, an amusement park, a club museum and the world’s first stadium with one side open to the sea.

So now you can watch the game, buy the merchandise and go on holiday to the club's very own resort.

Mind you have Blackpool already beaten them to it ?

SoVibrant / Artist of the Week

A little closer to home...

Over the past few months SoVibrant has been working for CESBI Developments Ltd to bring a new identity to Hornbeam House of Hornbeam Business Park, Harrogate.  For SoVibrant, the project involved branding and identity, project management and delivery of the scheme.

Alan Kitching, Director of CESBI Developments who own the Innovation Centre said, “Hornbeam House was lacking its own identity and was generally unnoticed. SoVibrant has transformed the building delivering a fresh, energetic identity which really sets it apart. It shows the importance of our environment and how it can really impact on how we think, feel and work. The Innovation Centre needed to feel innovative and it does attract cutting edge, creative companies.

After we decided that our building needed to be adapted and rebranded to meet the current climate with regards to flexible office space requirements, we were delighted to be able to offer the project to one of our own tenants.  We are very impressed with the end result, which SoVibrant have has proactively delivered on time and on budget.”

" Iron Man gets a touch of Pixar "

Afternoon readers. Whilst browsing the net we came across this incredibly cool remake of Iron Man. The artist Victor Hugo has created a Pixar styled render which makes you look at the Iron Man character completely differently to the original film..

Well done Hugo.... great job

Enjoy

Playstation 3 'Michael' Advert

For all the gaming and PlayStation enthusiasts out there I thought I would share this amazing advert. Released in October 2011 the 'Michael' advert is based on a collection of well known characters from some of the best games on the PS3 expressing their gratitude to 'Michael' the gamer who controls them. Great concept and brilliantly executed. Enjoy....

Stairway to Heaven

Sorry Led Zep fans, this is a design blog. It's time to swat up on a few architectural terms, mainly as an excuse to look at some nice images. Today, staircases.

stair·case

n.

A flight or series of flights of steps and a supporting structure connecting separate levels. Also called stairway.

According to Wikipedia, 'Stairs are names for a construction designed to bridge a large vertical distance by dividing it into smaller vertical distances, called steps. Stairways may be straight, round, or may consist of two or more straight pieces connected at angles'.

Staircases can often be one of the most striking features of a design scheme and their forms can be inherently beautiful:
