Here are the titles for the BBC series, Wallander. The camera pans across a close up shot of the yellow lettering which forms the name of the show. The yellow lines cut through the screen reminiscent of a knife cutting it’s victim. Behind the lettering are dark duotone videos of the pensive Wallander played by Kenneth Branagh.
The titles are by Ray Leek (show produced by BBC One/A Left Bank Pictures/Yellow Bird/TKBC). The titles soundtrack is called “Nostalgia” by Emily Barker & the Clay Halo.
Nice poster by the talented Scott Hansen. It was created for the Ghostly 10 Year Anniversary Tour last year. Can you see the ghostly 10?
Menuda sorpresa encontrarnos con esta genial propuesta para casas móviles: La 252 Living Area. Una casa sobre ruedas diseñada por Stephanie Bellanger, Amaury Watine, François Gustin & David Dethoor en la que caben lavabo, cocina, sala de estar, dormitorio y hasta una oficina!.
Lo mejor de todo es la idea sobre como se despliega, describiendo una circumferencia (de 252º) sobre railes.
Toda una joya para los nómadas más cool.
A great idea by swissmiss and Fictive Kin. TeuxDeux is a intuitive, clean-looking little to-do app. It’s simplistic design gives focus to the content and it looks like an easy app to use. I’m looking forward to giving it whirl and crossing things off my to-do lists! Add “teuxdeux” to blog
The Finnish company PLUP has created a unique design for the water bottle which has now become a part of day to day living. Their core aim is to donate a large portion of their profits to environmental issues. In Finland they currently donate 10 euro cents from each PLUP bottle to the Baltic Sea Action Group to help clean up the baltic sea.
The bottle is made from a modified recyclable PET, it’s ring shape holds 400ml and has a unique star fish cap. The bottle is also available for other companies to sell their own drinks in.
Browser Pong is an original take on the classic game, “Pong”. It’s created by artist-programmer Stewart Smith at Stewdio. If you have a bit of time on your hands give this little cheeky time waster a go….it’s brilliant! The sounds are great too (by Nine Cats Music).
Stewart describes, “During play the negative space between windows is transformed into a playing field, the abstracted tennis court of Pong. The idea of thinking inside or outside some “box” is of course a dead and beaten horse. Browser Pong attempts to think with the boxes.”
Another good exhibition to see if you’re in London is “Less and More – the design ethos of dieter rams” at the Design Museum. It “showcases Rams’ landmark designs for Braun and furniture manufacturer Vitsœ, examines how Rams’ design ethos inspired Braun’s entire product range for over 40 years, and assesses his lasting influence on today’s design landscape.”
Dieter Rams’ Ten Principles of good design:

Good design makes a product understandable.
Good design is unobtrusive.
Good design is honest.
