Hello you know about the band Massive Attack? They’re amazing. I remember finding out about them through the first Matrix movie, it’s the music Neo is listening to when you first see him there sleeping with headphones on. I bought the album that’s from (Mezzanine) and never looked back. What you’re about to see is a fantastic vision of death and destruction as circled around Massive Attack’s song “Splitting the Atom” from their album Heligoland (released 2.8.2010). This film is directed by Edouard Salier and I don’t recommend you watch it if you’re prone to easy vertigo.

Hello internet. Today we at World Famous Design Junkies are in search of the original artist behind the unaltered Jesus with Rifle piece you see below. What you see above is a bit of a hacked version to insight hype for both advertising revenue as well as more people power. The more people that look at this, the more likely the source is to be found. It’s math.

For it is a freaking joyous day! Straight from the team-mates mouth, codename TheOmethod, we’ve got super new super early photo pics of this Shepard Fairey / Smokey Robinson poster collaboration. There’s a gold/black version and a “color” version of each of the two poster prints, with Fairey and Smokey signatures on em all. There’s a series going right now in the OBEY world called American Pioneers, dealing in the fields of art, music, and a slightly general category called “culture.” Smokey’s still hot!

Wait wait what? This is World Famous Design Junkies! We’re supposed to be family oriented, right? To a degree, shall we say. When something so innocent yet so double-take delicious comes up on this doorstep well, it’s just really too difficult not to shoot it, stuff it, and hang it on the wall. Look at this wrapping paper! It’s made by designer Paul Schlacter as a personal project (MAKE IT REAL NOW) to be used as wrapping paper for presents to be given at baby showers. Magnificent!

You know what I think? I think it’s just TRRRIBLE what people do with their pets when they don’t want them anymore. They just kick them in the river! Well that’s alright. But only if the pets we’re talking about are “Disposable Pets!” This is a product designed by masterpiecer Charlotte Dumoncel D’Argence. Each of these lovely little guys is made out of what I can only be assured is fully bio-degradable material so that when you toss it in the washing machine, it disintegrates! In the fire, it burns! In outer space, it floats!

First, this ain’t about no gangster, dude. This is a comparison of constitutions. On the left you will see the United States Constitution. On the right, the one they got out in California. The facts are as thus: both of these constitutions are set in Times New Roman font at 8 points on paper 8.5 inches wide. The difference is the … length. The USA measures in at 6 feet. The California Constitution, on the other hand, is about 45 feet in length.

But he ain’t deid yet! Not actually with a gun, either. Here’s a fabulous new art shot full of David Choe works of magnificence, new AND old! You can get your big huge painting on OR get your slightly smaller (but still gigantic) giclee print on. I can vouch for the quality too, I’ve got that one of a half-nude lady falling – it’s fantastic. This right here is called “Character Assassination” and it’s due to be released SOON through the Fifty24SF Gallery. The piece you see above is called “Rosie” and it’s pretty giant.

Here’s a project! Invented by a classroom full of wild and crazy senior designers from the Minneapolis College or Art and Design is this campaign to fire up the Minneapolis extended community. This is social design. Their first step was this US + THEM poster and flier campaign as seen above (and below); executed over an 18 hour time allotment, they doused downtown, uptown, and Dinkytown Minneapolis. Branding repetition works, it works, it works. And then there were a twisty.

Welcome yourself back to the ATARI 2600, one of the definitive moments in both home entertainment and interactive communication in our modern world. In these early years (1970’s, 80’s) of video game distribution, there was a bit of a learning curve. What should be done about advertising and branding these games we’ve got to sell, said the interactive masters of the day, the games are fun, but there’s no way we can use these little pixels as the covers of their packages! ZAP! There was a split. In this age came the strange world of describing not what was actually in the game,* but what you were supposed to imagine while you were playing it. *In most cases, that is.
