Here’s a quick round-up from Art Basel, 2010. Sadly, I couldn’t make it, though the steady stream of Facebook photos from friends and colleagues kept me in the loop! Between Helen Toomer Labzda, Mirrorball and Tono’s collective photos, its easy to deduct that texture is back in full force. Vivid compilations with complicated twists were everywhere. Have a look and tell us what you think. Enjoy!

Marketing: Lightscape Patterns




Last October, we found global lightscapes were beginning to make their mark. Artist communities from around the globe were experimenting with energetic lines in the form of video, art installations and still photography. Nearly a year later, the marketing and branding worlds have picked up on this trend, assimilating their clients with this fresh medium. Both Lacoste and Amstel Live have incorporated this lively style into layouts with disaffected 20 somethings. Interestingly, and rather surprisingly, the bottom photos from the Mirrorball produced, Amstel Live party are more interesting than the carefully curated Lacoste campaign. It doesn’t take much to engage at a party, and adding DIY design, alcohol and a creative new profile pic are three easy ways to get consumers excited.
