Ogilvy & Mather London a mandaté l’agence russe People Too afin de créer une série de scènes faites de papier pour la campagne d’Amnesty International, Fan the Flame qui condamne agressions et agresseurs, notamment dans le cadre de violences sociales. Une campagne magnifique faite de détails impressionnants.

Artist Tran Nguyen was born in Vietnam but now lives and works in Georgia. These are just a few of her latest acrylic and pencil works from an exhibition at Roq La Rue gallery late this summer. Nguyen says she is “fascinated with creating visuals that can be used as a psychotherapeutic support vehicle, exploring the mind’s dreamscape.” You can see a full gallery of her latest work right here.

Artist Gerhard Marx in conjunction with Spier Architectural Arts recently created an enormous sculptural mosiac of an aerial photograph of Johannesburg, South Africa. Seven professional mosaic artists, together with nine apprentices worked for 5 months to complete the project using natural stone such as marble and travertine, fragments of red brick, ceramic elements and chippings of Venetian smalti glass. In the end, the 56-panel aerial image weighs nearly three tons and was presented last month at the 2013 FNB Joburg Art Fair.

Watch the video above to see how the piece came together, and also learn about another work created through an additional partnership between Spier and artist Sam Nhlengethwa. (via Colossal Submissions)

Want to hear my story? It’s a good one – I swear! Well if you do, there will be 6 chances coming up:

October 12th // The AIGA National Conference // MPLS // 11:30 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. // The Badge Hunt

October 25th // AIGA Wichita // The Badge Hunt

November 9th // AIGA Houston // “The Inside Job” Conference // Keynote Speaker // The Badge Hunt

January 23rd // SAA // Kettering Ohio // The Badge Hunt

Febuary 13th // Somewhere in Wisconsin – Top Secret

April 10th // Creative South // Columbus GA

This is a first for me. Like most people, I have always been intimidated by public speaking. This year I decided to face my fears so I quit saying no. I spoke on a panel to AIGA Minnesota students in April about getting jobs and also to the AIGA chapter in St Louis about Social Media. The lectures that I have scheduled in October will be the first time that I’ll be telling my story. On the 12th I’ll be speaking along side some of my design heroes like George Lois, Michael Bierut and Aaron Draplin so I know I’ll need to bring my “A” game. I’ve been working on my presentation until 2am every chance I get over the last few months and it’s almost finished. Check out the description:

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in at a boutique design agency? How about a huge marketing agency, or a global ad agency? What about working in-house for the best brand in the world? Allan Peters has tried them all and has survived to tell you the tale. This is a story that spans 33 years and includes not only the victories but also the down right ugly stuff that happened along the way. Join him as he walks you through projects for brands like Nike, ESPN and Target showing you his process as well as behind the scenes stories and photos. Peters loves design. He loves to make it, hunt for it, document it, write about it and most importantly – he loves to talk about it.

Below is a design I did for the Houston Conference. It’s getting letterpress printed by the good folks at Workhorse. I’ll dribbble some pics when it’s all done. It’ll be printed on French Lemon Drop Pop Tone paper (bright yellow paper) and the grey is silver ink. I believe they’re giving them out to the attendees.

For those of you who can’t make it, I’m going to try to shoot a video of at least one of these lectures and I’ll be sure to post it on vimeo when I do.
