During the 2010 world cup, a font that’s used on the Adidas jersey has caught my eyes. UNITY is designed by Adidas & Brazil designer Yomar Augusto for the use during the world cup 2010 in South Africa. The type is not so classic but definitely a fresh on the football jerseys. Designer Yomar Augusto has initially trained as a graphic designer, studied photography at the school of visual arts in NYC, and then completed a master in type design from the royal academy of art in the hague, the Netherlands before he started his own studio in Rio de Janeiro.

看足球也要看設計！巴西的設計師Yomar Augusto和Adidas為了2010世界盃足球賽設計了一套字型，專門用在Adidas的球衣上。包括法國、德國、希臘等等的球隊，只要是穿著Adidas的球衣，就可以看到這個…不是那麼經典，但是十分當代、新鮮的一套字型。足球運動一直在進化，或許連設計也要跟上時代！雖然網路上評價兩極，但這小小的變化，或許也能帶來一些新刺激！Yomar Augusto是個年輕的設計師，他不僅在巴西完成了平面設計的學位，在紐約SVA學攝影，更是遠赴荷蘭習得了字體設計的智識。目前回到巴西里約熱內盧開設自己的設計工作室。

W+K Amsterdam has created a series of campaign for NIKE football. The advertising campaign has recorded the moment of the world’s top footballers who are writing the futures. Only the moments on the pitch will decide what really happens. And the margins for error could not be more narrow. Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (Babel, 21 Grams) and featuring the incredibly unique music of Dutch rockers, Focus, the film shows how one moment on the pitch can be the catalyst for ripple effects felt around the world.

知名的廣告公司W+K阿姆斯特丹分公司，因應2010南非世界盃為NIKE創造了一系列的足球廣告。整個廣告的概念就是在表現「寫下未來（Write the futre）」的瞬間。足球員當下的表現，決定了英雄還是狗熊，不僅影響了個人，還影響了全國人心！只有英雄才能被立下雕像，永久傳世！

又一令人震驚的消息！華裔加拿大年輕設計新星Tobias Wong(aka Tobi)在曼哈頓自宅自殺！Tobi為近期最受矚目的年輕設計師之一，作品曾在紐約MoMA、 Cooper Hewitt博物館等處展出，並被舊金山現代美術館永久收藏。 08年才與Aric Chen一起擔任首屆100% Shanghai設計展的創意總監，沒想到就此結束年輕的生命。(1974~2010)

The design world lost a dear friend early Sunday morning with the passing of D. Tobias Wong, whose wit and daring will be terribly missed, and whose design provocations provided a consistent touchpoint throughout much of the last decade. / via Core77

來自冰島的Sigur Ros樂團主唱 Jon Thor (Jónsi) Birgisson，擅長以飄渺的樂風讓聽者彷彿進入一個精靈的世界。他2010年新專輯”GO”的巡迴演唱，舞台的設計更是視覺結合音樂的一大享受。讓我們來看看負責設計的59 Productions透露他們怎麼構築出這美妙的世界。

A sneak preview of the live stage show 59 Productions is creating for Jónsi’s(Sigur Ros) 2010 tour – a cross between film, art installation, theatre performance and live gig.
Live show: Designed by 59 and Phil Eddolls

The main venue of DESIGNTIDE TOKYO serves as a platform for designers to give polished, carefully considered presentations of their work.

This year, architect Ryuji Nakamura(中村竜治) has been selected to design the main venue at DESIGNTIDE TOKYO. How will he interpret the works by this year’s participating designers? What kind of space will he create to showcase them? Fans of Nakamura’s previous work are no doubt already looking forward to what he will come up with this time.

Brainstorming sessions for potential ideas are already underway. Look out for updates on Nakamura’s ideas and creative process in the coming weeks! / via DesignTide
