這回澳門行下榻的酒店即開張不久的澳門威尼斯人。繼拉斯維加斯的賭城經驗，金沙集團在澳門開設了更據規模的威尼斯人酒店，建築除了外觀上的仿古樣式，也承襲了拉斯維加斯威尼斯人特有的室內運河街景。

If you love poster design then you probably
have stumbled across Jonathan Haggard before. Amazing typography,
gorgeous colors and witty social commentary are common tools of
Haggards trade. Keep in mind though, once you’ve seen this you probably
won’t ever look at propaganda the same way. Enjoy!

Well, let’s start with the usual. Who are you and where are you from Mr. Haggard? What is your brief design background?
My name is Jonathan Haggard and I usually go by the moniker
skryingbreath. I was born and raised in California; my current
residence is San Francisco, California where I'm attending The Academy
of Art University to build my portfolio and get my degree in Web Design
and New Media.
Design has been something I've been fascinated with since I started
creating minor user experience ideas with Winamp skinning. Though, I
quickly realized that whenever I told a pretty girl I made skins I got
a confident decline to my phone number invitation. Switching things up
and doing a ridiculous amount of scientific experimentation with
typography and advertising paid off, and I got the girl too!

Your poster work and photography are really truly amazing. How did you get into the poster / print realm of design?
To be completely honest I somewhat fell into it. I started making
these simple and ugly typographic renditions of Daft Punk songs, and
figured I'd print them once I saw a show by my biggest influence -
Scott Hansen/ISO50. After realizing the freedom that the print world
allows, designing and thinking of substantial concepts became easier.
Since most of the client work I receive is identity/layout dominant,
posters give me a chance to exercise total control and execution of a
concept from beginning to end with no other input or distractions.

I know you're heavily influenced by propaganda aesthetics. Care to elaborate on how that came about?
Through type experiments and looking for inspiration via FFFFOUND or
flickr streams, I found myself returning to the basic principles of
design that are so gracefully combined in vintage Russian and German
propaganda posters. Balance, repetition, contrast, dominance and solid
concepts executed in the most perfect manner to convince a population
to follow an idea.
This built itself into an obsession, and I'm always on the lookout for anything propaganda related.

Music often finds its way into your artwork as well. Do you work
with musical artists often? Or just as inspiration for personal pieces?
Both?
I have worked with musicians' logotypes and identities. Most of the
time I have a great idea while listening to a song for the 900th time
in a day, decide to make a poster about it and then email it to the
musician. It really pumps me up when they respond, even just a “thumbs
up, kiddo”. It's a thrill I haven't found elsewhere.
One last question, is there any sort of art or design work that you
aren’t currently doing that you wish you were? Why or why not?
What a coincidence; I just started a course on motion graphics which
is something I admire from afar but have never participated in. It
seems like the ultimate skill to have and make pretty stuff and then
add an entirely new dimension that alters everything. I'm confident
I'll get a handle on motion graphics and be posting kinetic propaganda
soon.

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/07/07/table-of-contents-creative-and-beautiful-examples/
Table of contents is often considered to be one of
the most unspectacular design elements ever invented. Because of its
simple, usual form, table of contents is often not given the attention
it may deserve — after all, it is just a list of the parts of a book or
document organized in the order in which the parts appear. But why not
use exactly that and surprise the reader of a booklet, brochure, annual
report or a book with some beautiful and original table of contents? In
fact, many creative approaches are possible. And this post attempts to
prove exactly that.

A collection of my favourite inspirational sources & Styles
As a web designer I’m always looking for ways to get inspired
when working on new projects. Usually this means searching the various
web design galleries for some inspirational web designs. However,
recently I’ve found inspiration from some quite unusual sources.
Take a look at this variety of inspirational work, and you might find
that it can help motivate and inspire you on your next project.
