Kazakhstan Censor

I will write my posts very rare, because of the Censorship in Kazakhstan. Few years ago, there had been a governmental problem with our president's son in law. He left the country and made a blog in the very popular server- Liveinternet.ru.  He started writing about all governmental secrets and bad things about our President. That is why this blogging resource is now closed for the usage in Kazakhstan. Unfortunately, Blogspot is closed as well. I have the only one place where I can open Blogger and writ a post. So, I am going to write very rare however with quite big amount of posts.

Award-winning identities from Cannes Lions 2010

Episteme Skincare, Bronze

Dentsu Kansai of Osaka, Japan created an identity for
Rohto Pharmaceutical’sEpisteme line of luxury skincare products.

 I find this work very aesthetic, however it is a little bit not clear what is what. The only thing I can say for sure is that overall view is very beautiful!

Nook, Bronze

R/GA in New York came up with the name and designed the identity for Nook,
Barnes & Noble’s first e-reader.

There are no limits to be an artist. Even, if you are blind.

Uniqueness of history of Lizy Fittipaldi consists that the woman has ceased to see in 1993, and for the first time took in hands a brush two years later – in 1995. Being the diplomaed bookkeeper and a financial analyst, Liza together with sight has lost work, independence and meaning of the life. Its long depression lasted more year while once the husband hasn't brought to it a children's water colour set. To general surprise, Liza took in hands a brush and has started to draw.

It couldn't study techniques of painting, observing of actions of the teacher, couldn't see a picture. But it hasn't stopped the woman, and in exchange she has thought up own system of training: listened to audio versions of books about art and visited together with the husband the well-known museums for which she never found time in the previous life. To be guided in a composition of the future picture, Liza pulled on a canvas of a grid from ropes, but in due course has learned to manage and without them.

GAP 'scandal'

Old GAP logo (left) New one (Right)

I think everybody read about GAP scandal, if not check this link.
Well....What can I say...

 First of all, even I can see that 'new' logo is AWFUL. It is just...just AWFUL. 

Secondly, this is an absolutely crappy PR company to make consumers remember GAP brand. 

Crappy, because they didn't work good on it.  Second logo shows, that it had been made in 'paint' :) and it had been just a reason for 'something'.By 'something' I mean this article in Guardian and looooooong solutions about whether they should take new logo or no I am not sure that it will work. This fake actions shows that they have problems. I man problems with  PR company and Designers.

Anyway, I am not shopping at GAP because they have awful clothes' design last few years.
So, let's have a look what they will finish with.
