New York Times: Turkish Edition from Quba Michalski on Vimeo.

This is our one minute advertisement for the launch of Turkish Edition of The New York Times.

We constructed typographic versions of the most recognizable landmarks in Manhattan and Istanbul, and created a compact tour taking the audience from the New York Harbor all the way to the Bosphorus. Actual pages from the first issue of the newspaper were used to create the textures used in the scenes. The financial news page became NYSE and Wall Street, entertainment news turned into Times Square, and so on.

The result is 60 seconds of typographic goodness, mastered in 2K cinema resolution.

Some of you may know I have an upcoming trip planned to Costa Rica. While I’m there, I hope to get wifi in certain locations so I can keep friends and family back home posted on how things are going. I just downloaded the Wordpress app for iPhone and decided to give it a test!

Also testing a picture upload.

These posters kick  ass! Enough said. Enjoy.

For Amy Oastre & Courtney Rowson of Stitch, there is no identity/branding project they can’t handle! I love their design style and the use of letterpress! Here are few inspirational images:

“35mm is a shortfilm about cinema itself. We picked 35 of our favorite movies and tried to simplifly them as far as possible. The outcome is a 2 minute journey through the history of film. Take a close look and tell us if you’ve recognized them all!”

I recognized Titanic, Jaws, Rosemary’s Baby, Physco, James Bond, Exorcist, and Toy Story. If I find the key that lists all the movies referenced, I’ll repost!

Here are a few shots from the event I photographed two weekends ago. Now that I have an event under my belt using my Canon Digital SLR, I’ve realized I need to buy some more equipment if I want to pursue photography more passionately. A major problem I was had was with lighting. The party started around 7pm so there was still a lot of sunlight, but as the night went on I needed to switch to using flash. The standard flash on the camera is not great for taking photos in low light areas. It flashes a multiple times so it can focus and it’s distracting. I need better lenses and flash!

This is going to be a quick post, but I feel with everyone becoming more computer savvy these days, that graphic design is starting to become watered down. Anyone with a page layout program can “design” something and the explosion of cheap outlets to purchase stock photos and illustrations is only helping.

This is a redesign for the Romania tourism. The image on the bottom left is the original stock illustration. You’ll see the Romania logo uses the exact illustration of the leaf. On the bottom right, an Irish company called Change Transport uses the illustration only making simple edits by adding spacing and adding a third wheel. WHERE’S THE CREATIVITY IN THAT!?
