If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.
Paris based illustrator/ graphic designer Florence Bamberger uses vibrant colors, wavy contours and organice shapes to define her vision on reality. Some works have a message, be it political or commercial some are personal. A small selection after the bump.
Apart from recipe design which is what we used to know so far, here comes recipe re-design, which is what you get when you visualize standart recipes in a more creative, graphical way. Why didn’t we do that earlier? GOOD followed this upcoming trend and organized a competition about this topic. Results are in and you can vote for your favorite one here.

MIT Media Lab has a new logo based on an algorithm that can create 40,000 logo shapes in 12 different color combinations. The logo is designed by Brooklyn-based designers E Roon Kang and Richard The for MIT’s 25th anniversary. Each logo is made up of 3 spotlights, each symbolizing a single individual. “People come from many different backgrounds—they’re engineers, scientists, artists, designers— and have very different ways of thinking, seeing, and working,” The says. “At the lab these people cross paths, collaborate, and inspire each other, and that’s the magic of this place.”
This gives MIT enough personalized business cards to cover its personal for the following 25 years. They even developed a web-based platform where an MIT employee can choose their own logo for their personal business card.
This work is done by Peter Orntoft as a design project for The Danish Design School. These infographics deal with whether or not the Danes think its ethical to wear religious symbols in public professions. Peter uses real life people and object to display mathematical statistics. A different and more confronting way of showing measured data. View more of his intimidating infographics on his portfolio.
This Sunday Jonas Smets and me went to the S.M.A.K. museum in Ghent. And we were really surprised by one guy. The Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie (Baia-Mare, 1977) is showing a selection of paintings from before 2009 and a body of new work, including some collage paintings. Also, he is for the first time constructing his imposing Dada Room, a benchmark work in which elements from previous work merge.
Be sure to pay this one a visit if you can. The exhibition runs until 27.03.11.
This Sunday
