SPLIT DESIGN COLLECTION

Split has new business cards! Or, maybe we should say shards...

We're pretty chuffed to be a stall holder in the upcoming Hope House Christmas Market

Cool poster eh?

If you're in Leeds, still need to do some Christmas shopping and would like to support local and independent small businesses, we can't see that there's any other place you'd want to be on Saturday!

Whether you're a big fan of illustration or not, this time lapse video of 27-year-old Indonesian artist Elfan Diary drawing a new portrait is really quite stunning... 

We're getting excited about pretty much anything and everything New York City right now, as we'll be there next month!

From the always dependable It's Nice That, we've spied Victionary's newest publication....

From INT:

Geo/Graphics is a brand new volume that explores the prevalence of geometric designs in contemporary graphics, from brand identities to live music visuals. Divided into two sections the book separates neatly the divide between static and moving work, the first examining over 130 printed pieces and the second, 28 multimedia projects.

We like these black and white portraits from Russian photographer Alexander Khokhlov.

We've just been across to our friends at Duke Studios to cut some more 'If Not Now, When?' clocks on their #motherfrickenlaser... always fun!

Andrew Marr asks... can good design save the economy?

"To invest in art and design means putting public money into areas whose value cannot be captured on a spreadsheet, where concepts like productivity, value-for-money, inputs and outputs - which so reassure the political world - simply collapse. That means faith. It means risk.

But, without it, hard times surely stretch out rather bleakly. Other countries understand this, including China where more than a thousand art and design colleges are operating and whose students greatly benefit from colleges here too."

So, we're going to New York in January... I'm not sure this lego map by JR Schmidt will help us get around but it's pretty damn cool
