Jabulani: How They Make the Ball to Hate
Designing high performance sports equipment has to be the most difficult gig in industrial design. It’s a sort of alchemy of engineering, physics, and craftsmanship that, to fulfill it’s intended purpose, must perform equally well for an extremely diverse range of end users. Just designing a jersey probably involves a few parts rocket science, so imagine designing the central element of play for a game, the results of which can make or break the hopes of entire countries. I don’t envy these designers.

Sagmeister x Levis 501 Art Installation
Did you see this collaboration between Levi’s and the amazing Sagmeister Inc. I just came across it last week. This deconstructed 501 jean was displayed last year at American Rag in SF. You can read more about it here.

Of all the industries who should be running clever, inspirational advertising right now, banks need to step it up the most. A new campaign from Standard Chartered might give Goldman Sachs some ideas for how to redeem themselves once their hearing ends. The new campaign for the bank is entitled “Here for Good” and features ads with objects arranged into inspiring typographical messages. Sounds familiar, we know, but Standard Chartered has definitely earned our trust in one area: Instead of simply ripping off the work of graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister like some other brands—cough, Absolut, cough—Standard Chartered hired the master himself to bring his large-scale type experiments to life.
