We first discovered the French artist “JR” when we screened his incredible TED Wish video at our TEDxBrooklyn event last December. Since then, I’ve been following his mission to use art to “turn the world upside down” by pasting massive, beautiful, breathtaking images on building, roofs, streets, and everything in between everywhere from Cuba to North Korea (check the photo bomb below!). Thanks to our social media fav Instagram, we can follow JR’s inspiring work (@JR_Artist) as it unfolds from project to project. Every time I open Instagram, I hope to his his latest and greatest. Enjoy, ~jb
We’re about to kick our web presence into high gear. If you like what you see here, you’ll love our Twitter and Instagram. (@LearnEvolve) More regular design inspiration and things we just plain love are headed your way!
Genis Carreras (Gex) explains philosophical terminology using basic shapes. We love his use of vivid, minimal design that functionally delivers information. Check out the entire lot, here.
His tribute to Steve Jobs made from parts of a Macbook Pro is also definitely worth noting.
Later this month, Learned Evolution and the Meta Agency will be moving into a big new office in Greenpoint. We’re trading some daylight for lots more space, so I’ve really been thinking about how to optimize the lighting in the space.
I have a vision of a big exploding fractal light right when you walk in to the lobby area of the space. Went for inspiration on the interwebs, searched my favorite lighting designer Ingo Maurer, and of course the light I’ve been visualizing he’s already designed. He’s always been a huge inspiration, and once again he’s simply plugged directly into my soul.
Presenting to you his 2010 work, BANG BOOM.
Lightfully yours,
jb

While the final product of these posters by DKNG Studios are remarkable, the process videos are even more mesmerizing.

“The dumbest mistake is viewing design as something you do at the end of the process to ‘tidy up’ the mess as opposed to understanding it’s a ‘day one’ issue and part of everything”
-Tom Peters
Jessica Eaton bases her colorful geometrical photos on Joseph Albers’ focus on the “discrepancy between physical fact and psychic effect.”
If you’re in New York, check out her exhibit at HIGHER PICTURES, which runs through December 17.

On Friday, December 2, 2011, Learned Evolution’s own Justin Bolognino and Emma Matthieson, in conjunction with Varghese Chacko will be producing TEDxBrooklyn at Brooklyn Bowl.
We’ve curated some incredible Brooklyn-based brilliant minds to speak. Check out all the details here.
The event sold out in under a day, but we’ll be Livestreaming the entire day online and in select partner venues around Brooklyn. Details forthcoming on the website.
We transcend and include duality, strategically implementing brain sides and either/ors as needed.
These gorgeous Mercedes ads we found today really took our breath away. Credits to Shalmor Avnon Amichay/Y&R Interactive Tel Aviv, Israel. Amazing work.
French street, video and fine artist Shaka is fueling us with inspiration this afternoon with his stunning 2D + 3D paintings. Why use more words when pictures speak thousands of them?
For those of you lucky enough to be in Paris next week, be sure to check out his show at Alexandre Lazarew Gallery.
Thanks to Flavorpill for the tip!
Happy Monday Morning friends! Let’s kick the week off right with some seriously fun creativity by the Italian studio n9ve with their video “The Alphabet 2.” Enjoy…
