Klaus Voormann

As a young artist living in Hamburg, Germany in 1960, Klaus was already well on his way to a very successful career in commercial art. Klaus had attended "Meisterschule für Grafik und Buchgewerbe" in Berlin before moving to Hamburg where he continued his education at "Meisterschule of Gestaltung". Klaus worked on freelance projects for fashion and art studios. He spent eight months in Dusseldorf working on advertising and layouts for magazines. http://www.voormann.com/biography

I love Klaus Voormanns  work and think it would look great on a t shirt as the style is quite sketchy and in a comic book style. I love the revolver work as even though its just black and white it stands out. 

Olly Moss

Olly Moss was born on January 24 in 1987 he is an English artist, graphic designer and illustrator, best known for his re imagining of movie posters. His work is regularly featured in Empire magazine.^[2]

Moss was commissioned by Marvel Entertainment executives Craig Kyle and Kevin Feige to create a poster for the cast of Thor.Other notable works include the cover artwork for the Resistance 3 video game, which prompted a trailer to be created in similar style.

Olly moss's work is very bold and strong, I think his work fits movie posters very well as the poster gets your attention straight away and you know the film straight away, especially from comic books. There is also always a very strong colour in every poster which matches with the bold black colour. I love Ollys text use and think i could look at his text style for my t shirt design, as the bottom pictures show soft et striking text.

Greenwashing.

Green wash

 

 Some businesses are genuinely committed to making the world a better, greener place. But for far too many others, environmentalism is little more than a convenient slogan. Buy our products, they say, and you will end global warming, improve air quality, and save the oceans. At best, such statements stretch the truth; at worst, they help conceal corporate behaviour that is environmentally harmful by any standard.

More than 95 per cent of consumer products claiming to be green are committing at least one of the “sins” of Green washing, according to The Sins of Green washing.

The Sins of Green washing: Home and Family Edition is the third study conducted by TerraChoice to survey of green claims made by marketers and manufacturers on consumer products. The study surveys 5,296 products in Canada and the U.S. that make an environmental claim. Between March and May 2010, TerraChoice visited 19 retail stores in Canada and 15 in the United States.

 

As consumers demand greener products, companies are attempting to meet that demand with more green products.

Green products exhibited slightly less Green washing in 2010 than was present in the 2009 Sins of Green washing study, the proportion of sin-free products appears to have doubled in each of the last two studies, from less than 1 per cent in 2007 to less than 2 per cent in 2009, and to almost 4.5 per cent in 2010.

Green washing is still a significant problem: this year TerraChoice found that over 95 per cent of “greener” products commit one or more of the seven “Sins of Greenwashing”.

 

Companies improve with practice

• Categories such as building materials, construction and office products contained more “sin-free” products than categories where “green experience” was less developed, such as baby products, toys, and consumer electronics.

Big box stores are gentle green giants

• Big box stores are more likely to stock products that are “sin-free” than boutique stores.

Eco-Labelling is an important solution, and sometimes part of the problem
 

• Use of respected eco-labels helps prevent but doesn’t eliminate Green washing: of products certified by a recognized third-party certification, more than 30 per cent are sin-free.

• Unfortunately, the use of false labels (a sin first identified in 2009 and dubbed the Sin of Worshipping False Labels) has increased dramatically, from 23.3 per cent in 2009 to 30.9 per cent in 2010.

BPA- and phthalate-related claims are skyrocketing

• BPA-free claims increased by 577 per cent from 2009 to 2010.
• Phthalate-free claims increased in 2550 per cent from 2009 to 2010.
• Two-thirds of BPA and phthalate-related claims appear on toys and baby products.

Toys and baby products

• 100 hundred per cent of toys and 99.2 per cent of baby products surveyed are guilty of some form of Green washing.
• BPA-free claims are up by 577 per cent since the 2009 Sins of Green washing study, appearing more frequently among toys and baby products than any other category studied.

The Chanel logo is one of my favourite logo's. The house of Chanel is represented by two interlocked "C" from it's perfume "Coco Chanel". 

Product Design/earphones

Earphones are one example of product design, earphones can take many shapes and styles. They were developed for the sole purpose of listening to music off of your headset. Earphones fit comfortably in your ears and have a snug fit, so you're comfortable and relaxed whilst listening to music of your choice, whilst others surrounding you do not have to listen to it.This is a great product and is very successful with buyers.
