Playback: Still moving along?
Has the world had enough of motion graphics? Or does it still have lots more breakthroughs in store for us? Two motion companies deeply committed to CG, but very different in concept and structure, give us their thoughts on the matter.

Feature Extra: Forging artistic links with the food chain
Geneviève Gauckler believes that, to a large extent, we are what we eat. In her latest exhibition, Food Chain Show, in which her signature potato — shaped, human — like characters demonstrate how human are although at that top of the food chain, but still totally dependent them.
–Geneviève Gauckler "We’re human, just a digestive tract"






Creative Countries: Crossing the line
The long, thin strip of Pacific-coast land that is Chile has had a chequered design history. Heavily influenced by Europe from the 16th century onwards, it came to a virtual standstill during the 17 years of the Pinochet dictatorship. But Chilean creativity is now flourishing again, with a new generation of graffiti and poster artists making their voices heard — and there are also some startling typographic innovations.

Studio: Taking the Red Bull by the horns
Award-winning London-based Jump Studio has come up with a genuinely cutting-edge answer to beverage-maker Red Bull's brief to re-design its London HQ in the dynamic image of the energy drink itself. A free-floating staircase and a carbon slide are just two of the innovative features that now greet amazed visitors to the 19th century Soho building.

Videogame: Japanese markers riding new wave
Is Japanese video games are moving closer to a Western conception of the art, both in terms of the graphics employed and the story approach? The people behind Omega Five and No More Heroes tell us about this subtle revolution and where it might be heading.
–Goichi Suda
–Kunio Suzuki






Sketch: Round the world in 220,000 pages
A remarkable initiative by a man who is being dubbed the Forrest Gump of the design world has led to 1,000 220-page notebooks being left lying around in all sorts of locations for people to fill in as they please. The result is an unprecedented torrent of all unexpected creativity by unexpected participants. Exclusive extracts from Brian Singer’s 1,000 Journals.
–Brian Singer


Top Talent: Competitions are key
Talk about running before you’ve learned to walk! Julia Keddell hasn’t even graduated from art school yet, but she has already worked for all those big fashion brands. Not surprisingly, she thinks that competitions are a great way to go in terms of making an early name for yourself.
