As Seen on TV: Floor Plans from Famous Television Series

15 Apr

[ By WebUrbanist in Art & Drawing & Digital. ]

A talented cast, backed by brilliant directors and writers, makes you feel like part of the action – not just through the actors telling a story, but also via the familiar spaces they regularly occupy in each episode (sometimes for years).

Iñaki Aliste Lizarralde is an artist and designer who painstakingly analyzes and draws out the rooms your favorite characters and their tales occupy, be they the charming sitcom Golden Girls or the macabre drama of Dexter.

And while our minds generally complete the picture for us, many of these famous dwellings do not really exist in a complete way, and some are never fully shown because of camera, entrance and exit placements, leaving our imagination to fill in the gaps.

In some cases, the action spans more than a single apartment, as in Friends where it is ultimately about two neighboring units and the hallway in between.

In other cases, like the Simpsons, seeing the plan makes you realize how simple it is in a fictional world that is wacky in so many ways – it is the backdrop, not a character itself. In the end, real life or otherwise, everyone needs doors, floors, windows and walls. Check out DeviantArt for a closer look or to buy a print.

Photoshop in Real Life: Portrait Series Takes Tools Literally

05 Apr

[ By WebUrbanist in Design & Graphics & Branding. ]

Anyone who has used Adobe products, Photoshop or otherwise, knows that they have necessarily become quite creative in naming some of their more abstract, surreal and unusual functions.

Flora Borsi of Budapest, Hungary, is a photographer and photo editor who has explored these meanings in return, taking them back out of the digital realm and applying them to ‘real life’ situations.

Through turns of phrase (‘Convert to Smart Object’) and other twisted interpretations, this series of portraits is an exploration of self, exhibition of abilities and simply fun series of mildly manipulated photos.

Her other series show off her capacity to understand and reproduce historical styles, but also to take and subvert visual expectations, in turn silly, serious and in some cases quite macabre.

Colorful & Cozy: Striking Series of Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets

29 Mar

[ By Steph in Design & Furniture & Decor. ]

Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets 1

Packing maximum function into tight spaces, Italian furniture maker Tumidei offers bright lofted bedroom sets with everything a kid needs built right in. These modern, compact and often modular all-in-one interiors hide extra beds under platforms, elevate study spaces and include lots of storage room.

Lofted Kids Bedroom Sets 2

Available in virtually any color scheme, Tumidei’s lofted bedroom sets for children and teenagers have lots of slide-out components that save valuable square footage when not in use. Beds disappear under elevated platforms that take advantage of ceiling height to maximize available space.

Many of these sets are ideal for multiple kids sharing a room, offering distinct space for each child without sacrificing looks and organization. Twin beds are placed on top of cabinets to keep clutter at bay, desks are shared and stairs double as drawers.

Kollodium-Nassplatten-Projekt: The Mask Series

23 Feb

Das Titelbild „Lungs“ stammt von Gerald Figal.

Dass sich aus einem kleinen Projekt namens „The Mask Series“, das von Shane Balkowitsch, einem Liebhaber der Kollodium-Nassplattenfotografie gestartet wurde, schnell eine internationale Kollaboration von über 100 Fotografen dieser alten Fototechnik entwickeln würde, hatte niemand geahnt.

Doch es ging alles ganz schnell: Nachdem kurz vor Weihnachten die ersten Bilder für das Projekt entstanden, entwickelte sich eine Eigendynamik. Nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil einige der besten Wetplater der Welt inzwischen an der Serie mitarbeiten, was weitere Interessenten anzieht. Bis heute haben sich 112 Teilnehmer eingeschrieben und jeden Tag werden es mehr.

Julia
„Free At Last“ von Julia Bailey

Im Mittelpunkt steht diese seltsame Requisite: Eine tschechische M10-Gasmaske, die jedem Bild etwas sehr Gespenstisches und Beunruhigendes gibt. Teilweise entsteht durch sie auch eine Komik, oft jedoch lässt sich in die Fotos eine Mahnung der Vergänglichkeit dieser Welt interpretieren.

Auf Grund des großen Erfolges ist nun auch ein Bildband geplant. Zudem sollen die Original-Exponate, die zentral in Nord-Dakota/USA archiviert werden, auch auf Welttournee gehen. Aber das ist Zukunftsmusik. Noch reist die Gasmaske von Fotograf zu Fotograf und von Land zu Land.

Andreas
„Breathless“ von Andreas Reh

Wenn Ihr nun auf den Geschmack gekommen seid und mitmachen wollt, könnt Ihr Euch an dem Projekt beteiligen. Mit etwas Geduld und dem nötigen Wissen und Können, um Kollodium-Nassplatten zu erstellen, habt Ihr alle Bedingungen für die Serie erfüllt.

Das Projekt versteht sich nicht als Wettbewerb, sondern möchte eine Zusammenarbeit ohne Grenzen und Beschränkungen von vielen Wetplatern fördern. Die Liebe und Leidenschaft zu dieser alten Technik steht im Vordergrund.

Bill
„Life after the Bomb“ von Bill Vaughn

Inspiration könnt Ihr Euch bei den ersten Ergebnissen holen. Sie sind online zu bewundern und auf Facebook gibt es den fiktiven Charakter Mark Mask, der über die aktuellen Entwicklungen zur Serie auf dem Laufenden hält. Es ist auf jeden Fall sehr spannend zu sehen, was die einzelnen Teilnehmer aus der Maske machen und mit welchem Ideenreichtum sie an der Serie arbeiten.

Greg Heisler BTS Series: Yasser Arafat

14 Feb

For part two of his four-part BTS series for Profoto, photographer Gregory Heisler walks us through his Time cover of former PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.

I really enjoyed this video. Not so much for the lighting tidbits, as it is a pretty straightforward photo in that regard. But rather because it exactly captures the vibe of photographers sitting around a table swapping stories. The interesting stuff is rarely about f/stops and shutter speeds, etc. It's more about what has to happen before you are in a position to make the photo at all. So, enjoy.

Oh, and Heisler has a book coming out, too. Read more »
