Positivus AB 2008
Last weekend i had a luck to get a free ticket to Positivus AB festival in small town called Saulkrasti here in Latvia. Though stars like Travis, Manic street Preachers and Fatboy Slim were to come, my favoretes was local Latvian bands: Inokentijs Mārpls, Voiceks Voiska and Pienvedēja Piedzīvojumi. There was quiet a lot of people. Fortunately territory was big enough to host everyone.
I took my camera with me so I made some pictures there. Here is my picture gallery of Positivus AB festival. Just random pictures. And it seems there are some quality issues because of fast automatic resizing & sharpening. But anyway – enjoy.
creative and interactive outdoor advertising
I hate advertisements. But there are some I love - creative ones. I have already posted a lot of them. But recently i fount pretty large collection of creative and interactive outdoor advertising.
Romania, I’m coming

Not a lamp. Not a box.
Two nice lamp designs by Dutch designer David Graas made out of cardboard: NOT A BOX and NOT A LAMP:
Actually you can make something similar by yourself. Just get a cardboard box and a little imagination.
Russian Roulette vodka liquor
Pretty interesting design concept. Russian Roulette is vodka liquor with strawberry - lime taste. It has 15% alcohol. Russian Roulette comes in 8 edged silver cardboard boxes that reminds revolver’s cylinder with one bullet thus making direct associations with notorious game.
There’s four shooters in one box. Drink it with four friends at the same time. Stick out your tongue! The person with the green tongue has to dance at the bar, kiss the bartender, stand on your head or even worse…
The only thing that confuses me is accent to Soviet symbols - legends (there is no reliable info on origins of game) ties it with tsarist Russia’s army not the soviet one.

When less is more
Sometime less can be more. Even in design. This simple packaging design samples in Japanese traditions are works of designer Mayuko Hari.
Anti smoking ads
Here are some nice anti - smokiong posters / ads. Maybe not a very innovative idea still impressive, i think.
Food sculptures
Papercraft
Some nice examples of paper craft. Biggest part of these works are made just from one sheet of paper.
Computer bottle
No, it’s not a whiskey - it’s a fully functioning computer. Yeah, sometimes computer modding could be real fun.
