Color of the Year, Marsala, Pantone

Pantone has declared Marsala, a naturally robust and earthy wine red, as the 2015 color of the year. Marsala, say the color experts, is rich, grounded, steady and satisfying, ideal for print, P.O.P. and packaging. (MORE)

Olympic Design: The 2012 Medals

2012 Olympic Games, David Watkins, Medals, Olympics

I can’t be in London, but I’m excited and looking forward to watching the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, which begin on Friday, July 27 and end on Sunday, August 12. Swimming, diving and gymnastics will be at the top of my list when I tune in, along with the opening and closing ceremonies. Artist David Watkins designed the 2012 Olympic medals, which stand ready in the Tower of London vaults. Watkins’ Olympic gold medal is the heaviest to date, weighing in at 400g, of which 6g is gold, and the rest is solid silver. The Olympic medals have a rich and interesting design history. (MORE)

architecture, Hearst, Hearst Tower, LEED Platinum, Lord Norman Foster, Richard Long, Treasures of New York

One of my favorite buildings in New York City, Hearst Tower opened in 2006 and was designed by architect Lord Norman Foster, renowned for his ability to design modern additions to historic structures. In the case of Hearst Tower, he has created an exciting interplay between the historic base and the new tower while maintaining the integrity of both buildings.

In its latest production, Treasures of New York goes on a private tour inside Hearst’s world headquarters. Timed with Hearst Corporation’s 125th anniversary, the film also highlights Hearst’s history and growth into one of the America’s largest diversified media and information companies. Treasures of New York: Hearst Tower premieres Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on WLIW21 and Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 8 p.m. on THIRTEEN. (MORE)

Hearst Tower, the Manhattan headquarters of Hearst Corporation is the first commercial office building in New York City to be recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for achieving both LEED Gold for new construction and LEED Platinum for the operations and maintenance of its existing building at 300 West 57th Street.

The Interior Plaza is home to two magnificent pieces of art designed to complement the soaring, glass-lined space: Icefall, a three-story sculpted water feature, and Riverlines, a monumental fresco by acclaimed environmental artist Richard Long of the UK.

Advertising, Bloomingdale's, Color, Graphic Design, typography

I’ve noticed this poster around midtown Manhattan the past few weeks. I think it’s a great example of typography, color and graphic design for advertising. It’s eye-catching, beautiful and conveys a great message and association with the Bloomingdale’s brand during the holiday season. (MORE)

Gary Breeze, letterforms, sculpture, typography

Lettering sculptor Gary Breeze takes the letterform and turns it into art. Born in Essex, England in 1966, Gary studied Graphic Design at Norwich School of Art followed by an apprenticeship with the letter-carver and sculptor David Holgate. In 1992 he worked as assistant to Richard Kindersley before setting up his own workshop in London a year later. Today the workshop produces lettering cut into stone and wood for a wide range of applications including private and public commissions and exhibitions. (MORE)

Nine Satellites, Purbeck Pondfreestone and Welsh slate, 2003 (private collection), Diameter: 30cm, Gary Breeze

Designed as a garden ornament and the first in a series of spheres ranging in size from 15cm to over 1.5 metres, this globe is inscribed and painted with the names of nine plants and flowers: Iris, Sunflower, Hydrangea, Rose Mallow, Chrysanthemum, Apricot Blossom, Peach Blossom, Sharon’s Rose and Cherry Tree. These are also the romantic names given to communication satellites by the Japanese and the Koreans.
