Logobook is the creation of Ludovic Houplain, the founder of multidisciplinary design firm H5. He’s worked with everyone from Audi to Cannes Festival and even won an Oscar for his short animation film Logorama. He created this massive publication (5.5lb, 800+ pages) as a reference guide while working on the movie. Everything is organized alphabetically and features information regarding designers, creation dates, countries and companies.

This book is a must-have for any designer, student, or marketing professional, and will be equally fascinating to anyone interested in contemporary culture.

A+D Architecture and Design Museum>Los Angeles (A+D Museum) is pleased to announce the exhibition, Windshield Perspective on view May 17th – July 9th, 2013.

Windshield Perspective takes the most common of Los Angeles experiences, a typical drive along a typical boulevard, and exposes the visual impressions that are continually cast off from the urban landscape that lines the roadway. Windshield Perspective is about the decorative, architectural, personal and natural elements that comprise a single stretch of an overlooked boulevard. It is about seeing the city with its automotive veil
lifted.

Windshield Perspective focuses on a short yet dense stretch of Beverly Boulevard from Normandie to Virgil. The windshield is both a lens and a shield; a screen which acts much like a magnifying glass to clarify the view and as a scrim to obscure the sight. A drive along Beverly stands for hundreds, if not thousands, of daily journeys through the city’s landscape. The exhibit is about seeing and not seeing.

The Happy Show, a thematic exhibition of film, print, infographics, sculpture, and interactive installations offers visitors the experience of walking into the designer’s mind as he attempts to increase his happiness via mediation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals.
