MOSS Obsession
Finally upgraded my Tiger to Leopard. I have been postponing the whole thing for quite a while now. Now that I’ve installed BootCamp, I have partitioned the drive and installed Vista Ultimate as well. Updated the whole thing down to SP1 and started to install Office and everything else.So far everything is great. Can’t wait to get MOSS installed. Meanwhile, I’ve been playing around a bit and here are a couple of t-shirts I’d like to print!
Got Milk? I mean Farm?
This one is inspired by NOS logo.

More Than Zero
Nasser recently came up with a post on graffiti art in Kuwait. I think it’s a wonderful talent and it should be taken to the next level.
Diesel throws an on-line contest every year for the artistic and creative. This year they are sponsoring something new.
ARE YOU A GENIUS OF WEB OR A DIGITAL CREATIVE ARTIST?
The MTZ Festival offers young creative artists and production companies the opportunity to meet potential cross-media content clients thanks to a “pitching"/contest, in other words, of finding oneself face to face with the potential client and of giving a live presentation of those projects that have passed the selection process. The selection bid is open to all creative artists, authors, production centres and ICT designers with an interest in all the latest developments in digital communication, without any restriction of nationality, type of company, age or profession.
All details in www.morethanzero.itTo give you a foretaste of life as a creative artist in a business environment, all works have to be delivered by 10 March 2008.
by The Diesel
I encourage everyone interested to head on over there and give it a shot. You can enter for either of the two categories: Tv Visual Identity or Brand. I don’t know why the official more-than-zero website is only available in Italian when the contest is for everyone! Even the registration form is in Italian! I think I will “Contatti” them and find out some more.
Update: I did find the “English” version of the contest page only: http://www.morethanzero.it/page15/page21/page21.html

What’s your creative profile?
If you have a minute, head on over to the Art Institute’s visual quiz website and find out what kind of creativity you’ve got. It’s pretty cool and really fun since it’s completely visual. All you have to do is select the image that feels right for each statement.
Take the quiz at: http://ai.imagini.net/ and share you profile results here!
I am a Creative Pathfinder.

Helvetica Movie
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.
It’s now released on a DVD that includes the full 80-minute feature film and over 90 minutes of additional interviews with people like Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, Erik Spiekermann and Hermann Zapf. I recently watched the documentary and its amazing. I do recommend everyone to watch it, not just designers!
Visit the film’s website at: http://www.helveticafilm.com/

Islamic Urban Art in the UK
Graphic artist Muhammad Ali, born and raised in Birmingham, UK, has some amazing work done under the name AerosolArabic. He has done a few T-shirts and hoodies that are sold for a very reasonable price on islamicdesignhouse.com. If Muhammad is not on tour, he usually gives some workshops for kids at schools to encourage them to make professional meaningful graffiti art with style.
I think it’s amazing to see some Islamic art on walls around the world that are done professionally. It would be great to see the walls in Kuwait turn out something like this, rather than the scribbles kids are writing. The picture below is in the UK, you can see a lot more at the gallery in his website.

Boing-Boing! limited edition hoodie
Found this limited edition Boing Boing hoodie at GAMA-GO! It’s gorgeous and costs $120 Dollars. They also ship internationally for an extra 25 bucks. It’s pricey, but thats how designer Emily Glaubinger makes her living. This piece of art was a originally a sketch by a Boing-Boing pal Tim Biskup and it was brought to us to wear by Emily Glaubinger! Thank you Emily!
