Check out this nicely designed infographic talking about what happens on the internet in one day. The numbers are crazy, and eye-opening. I really like the color choices in this infographic, it's always challenging to show data in a fun, easy way, but also make the whole graphic consistent. This one is definitely a well desinged infographic.
Heineken is doing something cool. Something that beer companies usually don't care about: talking about design. Just few months ago Heineken had it's design competition for their 2012 Bottle Design and I made it into top 100, out of 30,000 entries. Now, they are taking it one step further.
This April, the Milan Design Week 2012 will host a unique collaborative concept in nightclub design. International premium beer brand Heineken® has given a group of emerging designers a platform to showcase the finale of a unique year-long initiative called Heineken® Open Design Explorations Edition 1: The Club. The end result is a progressive pop-up club, the Heineken concept club, based on the theme of ‘Changing Perspectives’.
The Heineken concept club is designed to make the nightlife experience as enjoyable, social and memorable as possible. Over 100 clubbers from around the globe provided a range of questions for the designers to react to – such as creating an atmosphere, identifying yourself to the barman and leaving the club safely. Those insights challenged the designers to explore solutions to club design issues.
The venue will feature a flexible, origami-influenced structure, accommodating the flow of guests and an interactive bar. Lighting will be a key feature where by responsive surfaces and spaces at the venue will react with different lights to give a multitude of perspectives, encouraging social interaction between guests. Even the look of the clubbers’ Heineken bottles will change depending on the lighting. Concepts which encourage full participation and responsible consumption look to bring us an exciting result.
The Club to be unveiled from Tuesday, April 17 to Friday, April 20, 2012 at Via Privata Gaspare Bugatti 3, Zona Tortona, Milan.
Heineken is hosting a contest to get their 2012 bottle wear one of the fan's designs. All Heineken asked for is for the bottle to show/represent how people will connect in the coming future. My design takes shapes of hand-drawn pattern of interlacing and overlapping shapes. In a way this shows the connection of different objects, subjects, and shapes to each other. Here's my design.
