Hey,

In case you woke up this morning and thought to yourself, “I wonder what frog design’s up to”, I come bearing print news from frog.

A decade after publishing RANA, frog has decided to invest in print again with the new magazine (and companion website), design mind. In this first issue, Numbers, we feature an interview with Erik Spiekermann on the challenge of designing numbers and other articles written by frogs.

If this little email doesn’t satisfy you enough and you’d like to see a hard copy, I’d be more than happy to send a complimentary issue your way. To hold you over until then, here’s the microsite:

Cheers,

Hi Michael,

As a designnotes reader I thought to send you some info about the upcoming Utregse Dijzijnprijs:

—

With a very small team of designers from Association of Dutch Designers we organize the Utregse Diezijnprijs (UDP). It's the 6th edition. The prize is targeted at the dutch designers in the first place. I found a little article about it on design.nl in english and thought to send this to you.

The UDP has been called the Jazz concours among the design prizes! Registrations, submission, judging and announcements on one evening. The prize is open for all designers regardless of discipline. Foreign participants are welcome although not very practical, I think…

More info:

re; your recent MY INTERNET post. i passed the URL to my coworkers and received this as a response:

” “1. My Internet doesn’t use flash, evahhh. Unless it’s a video, and then only for video.”

What an idiotic dinosaur! He condemns animation but embraces video? This outmoded old codger needs to see the internet for what it is: a means to transmit all kinds and types of information and media. If animation has no place in his internet, then type reversed out of orange highlights has no place in mine!”

so, what do you say to THIS? personally i’m a flash-hater, but i wonder if maybe you ARE a “codger”. heh heh.

This article I so true, keep on writing like this, enjoyment to read 952

Subject: Wolff Olins Launches Beauty Brand Based on New Molecule

Hi there,

I thought you might be interested in the print ads and package designs for Living Proof, a new beauty brand launched last week that used the discovery of a new molecule to create an award-winning “no frizz” product: http://flickr.com/photos/wolff_olins/sets/72157…

Living Proof received Allure's Beauty Breakthrough Award and is the first beauty brand to be sold globally at all Sephora outlets.

All ads and marketing collateral were developed by Wolff Olins, an NYC branding agency, who handled brand strategy, company and product naming, service approach, identity, packaging, point-of-sale and communications.

Below is the official launch announcement. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Jelena

Brains. Beauty. Brand.

New York -March 5, 2009- Wolff Olins, one of the world’s leading brand consultancies, today announced details about their involvement in the concept, strategy, craft and launch of the new beauty brand, Living Proof.

Living Proof was founded in 2004 by Polaris Venture Partners co-founder Jon Flint on the premise that there have been few true innovations in beauty. He teamed up with fellow Polaris partner, Amir Nashat, MIT scientists Dr. Bob Langer and Dr. Dan Anderson as well as renowned stylists Ward Stegerhoek and Mitch DeRosa to find altogether new solutions to every day beauty frustrations. Today, the company is comprised of leading scientists and beauty veterans and is led by President and CEO Rob Robillard, formerly Worldwide General Manager of Kiehl’s Since 1851and Senior Vice President of Marketing of L’Oreal Paris.

After one year of dedicated research, the team of scientists discovered the PolyfluoroEster molecule, the first new anti-frizz technology in over 30 years. The new molecule is smaller than traditional frizz-fighting ingredients and instantly fills in gaps and blocks each strand’s cuticle, preventing moisture from penetrating the hair shaft. With frizz solved, Living Proof is working on a number of other solutions to common beauty frustrations. Stay tuned.

Throughout the evolution and conception of No Frizz, Wolff Olins worked closely to shape the brand’s development, working on everything from the brand strategy and name, product naming, service approach, identity, packaging, point-of-sale and communications. The branding firm touched nearly every part of the experience.

“Our involvement with Living Proof is a perfect example of the depth of activity and influence we can have with our clients”, said Todd Simmons, Executive Creative Director at Wolff Olins. “Throughout the entire process, we looked at every possible touch point and worked hand in hand with everyone in the business, even engaging the MIT scientists in our process. We’re absolutely thrilled with the result as it reflects a seamless collaboration.”

“We are just as proud of Living Proof’s commitment to efficacy and the way they treat consumers as we are of the way the packaging turned out or anything else. This is true branding”, continued Simmons.

Rob Robillard, President and CEO of Living Proof, commented, “Success in a start-up is about moments and decisions that will change the destiny of the company. We’ve been lucky thus far to have a few of those moments. One major one is having chosen to work with Wolff Olins.”

About Living Proof

Living Proof was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and created for the purpose of solving the toughest beauty challenges by inventing efficient, single-purpose formulas based on entirely new molecules and breakthrough technologies. They are a team of scientists and beauty authorities brought together by a shared aspiration: to challenge the status quo and end the common beauty frustrations of people everywhere – once and for all.

Hello Michael,

not sure if you remember me – Evan Kuz, graphic designer in Winnipeg – anyway, I'm not trying to get you to check out my lastest website or blog! I'm going to be in NYC later next month, and would love to know if there's anything 'design related' you'd suggest to add to my list of places to visit/things to see. I already know about the Tim Burton show, so that's definitely on my list. I also have a love of architecture and photography and really good iced mochas. I'm likely staying in the Times Square area, or possibly by the old World Trade site.

I hope all is well, I keep reading and enjoying your blog when I can.

Cheers,

Evan
