The art of pixels |
Every single thing that we look at on screen is made up of pixels. Simple fact. We normally look at pixels as a general blend on screen. However for me the real magic of the pixel is when we look at them close up. “Pixel Art” has been around for many years. It was primarily used in early game design. Xerox first made the use of “Pixel Art” commercial, however this then filtered through many various systems such as computer games, mobile phones and early computers. Pixel Art came from cross stitching and uses the same processes of building it up from each “block” so to speak.
Below are excellent examples of Pixel Art. It has become a lot more prevelant with the resurgance of “retro art”
Enjoy.

Daniel is a Bolton born designer, but soon outgrew his small beginnings to work in the big city of London. After graduating from the Royal College of Art in London, Daniel did spend a small amount of time in the US working at the famous Walker Art Center. But bigger things were ahead for him back in the Nation’s capital, when back in London he launched foundation 33. This has since merged to become the creative agency we know as boymeetsgirl. In recent years Daniel has turned to working under the banner of Eatock ltd, which he continues to work for today.
His other projects which are often self initiated are often completely left field and are something you can often look at and wonder why the hell he has decided to further this idea. But in a weird way these are the ideas and projects I love the most. He thinks completely out of the box and don’t forget that these projects more often than not appear as exhibits in galleries worldwide.
The book has a very scattered nature which reflects his website as well, but all has been carefully put together by the man himself. The book chronicles small events like pictures of the week large scale projects involving thousands of people. Each book created also in accordance with its title contains a person thumbprint from the man himself, could he be more personal?

Naoto Fukasawa has had a colorful career to match his colorful upbringing, born in in japan in 1956 he graduated from the Tama Art university in 1980. Since then he has barely took breathe to take heed of his career, the man has been constantly busy grinding out great pieces of work.
For the next eight years Naoto would work as a designed at Seiko-Epson, (not a bad first job in design!) He then began to move out to expand his horizons and went to work in the United States. In San Francisco he joined a small office and worked in a team of no more than 15 workers, but after his eight years in the states in this small company he went back to Japan.
LCD he created for ±0, and the recently designed N310 mini laptop for Samsung. The minimalistic look of the laptop is really appealing with the rubber at the back of the display. The laptop is crammed full of features and works just as well as your normal laptop would,
