Creative dreaming....

Morning all,

Just a quick word from me this morning but I couldn’t not share this article with you.

Using only plain cloths, clothes, stuffed toys, and other common materials, Queenie Liao (a mother and artist) has explored a creative way of expressing what her baby boy Wengenn may dream of during his sleep. Each photo shows a carefully thought out dream experience and is extremely well executed. Queenie’s album is entitled “Wengenn in Wonderland” and has 100 different fairytale dreams. Well done Queenie, you really have pushed the boundaries with this one!

SoVibrant at Yorkshire INSIDER Property Industry Awards

At SoVibrant we don’t often blog about our own projects, awards or whereabouts so to break the current trend in my colleagues blogging, I thought I would share an event myself and Mike attended earlier this month.

Every Year INSIDER hold a Property Industry Awards Ceremony in New Dock Hall, Leeds. This year SoVibrant were a main sponsor of the event and we can safely say the exposure we have had through the event has been very positive.

The night started with a drinks reception, meeting our guests and catching up with others in the industry. This is always a nice start to the evening and even better, a nice wind down to the busy day at SOV HQ. We were greeted to the event by key speakers from INSIDER and also had the fantastic Scottish comedian Fred Macaulay as the comperé. Unfortunately (or fortunately as some may say) our table was in the comperés line of fire so we ended up being part of the comedy quite a few times throughout the night ... amazing free advertising!

We settled into the evening with a beautiful three course meal followed on with the awards ceremony....What we had been waiting for. We were so proud to see two of our clients, City of York Council (West Offices) and Yorkshire Building Society (Broadgate) not only be nominated but actually receive awards. Tracy Carter from City of York Council accepted the award for Restoration and Refurbishment of the Year with West Offices and Philip Kirtlan accepted the award for Commercial Property Deal of the Year. As a main sponsor we were also able to hand out an award for Consultancy of the Year in which Davis Langdon were the winners. I can only describe the on stage situation as slightly daunting, but also felt a great sense of achievement in not tripping up the stage and not drinking too much vino so could pronounce the winners clearly! PHEW!

The awards continued through to the early morning however not before I personally got heckled by the comperé. At the time this was again, a daunting situation in front of 400 industry professionals including being dragged on stage for a photo with Fred Macaulay himself! Ahh never mind, it was all fun and games and SoVibrant have most definitely made an impact in the industry in 2013.

Design Classic no.246: Ferrari Dino

Named after Enzo Ferrari's late son, the Dino was Ferrari's attempt at a low cost sports car - originally to be branded without the Ferrari name which was to be reserved for twelve cylinder models.

Designed by Pininfarina and built at the Scaglietti works over the road from the Ferrari Maranello plant, the Dino was produced between '68 and '75. The mid-engined, rear wheel drive Dino was available with either a 2.0 or 2.4 litre V6, hence the names 206 and 246.

These images show the beauty of the Dino, now heralded as as a design classic of the 1970's, but are actually CGIs produced in Lightwave by Matthew Clark (portfolio).

Olympics Posters

With Olympic fever in full flow I thought I would share this collection of Olympic Games posters from the first modern iteration of the games in Athens 1896 up to current London 2012 event. A great visual history of the Olympics and also a reflection of the development and design trends of modern graphic design over the past century. I love the simplicity of Tokyo 1964 and Mexico 1968 while I'm a bit confused as to the relevance two men suckling a wolf in the Roma 1960 poster?
