The A-Z always get a lot of airtime in the design world, This website aims to show a little love to the aesthetic of numerals. Very niche but an visually informative resource none the less.
UNLIKE U
We still like to keep a breast of what’s going on, down in the underground. Being big fans of the rawness of graffiti here, This video trailer really caught my eye, it’s a gritty portrayal of the dedicated writers from Berlin. Berlin is one of the places in the world where illegal graffiti is still very much alive and well. Personally I think this is due to the state of the economy there, and cleaning graffiti is not high on their priority list. Below is a extract from the website and be sure to check the the above trailer. Well shot and insightful.
“Today is thursday, half past three in the morning. I am awake. The fourth night in a row. The alarm is set for half past one, so, out of bed. Cold? Tired? Never mind. I need to get out. I need to know when the guards are doing their rounds. We want to make the project colorful, but we need to know, when these suckers take a break. That’s part of it. Here we are meticulous. Here we are careful. Everything else would be dangerous. No mails, no mobiles. Everything face to face. The SoKo is everywhere. They want our ass, but we are smarter. Smart, fast and careful”
Enjoy.
