Visionaire No. 63: Forever by Anonim Pdf

"In its relentless pursuit of pushing the idea of the printed magazine to new progressive heights, Visionaire has pioneered issues that are wearable, edible, audible, sprayable, playable, magical, tactile, digital, and now--with its 63rd issue--indestructible. The world-record breaking collectible limited-edition art and fashion publication strives one step closer along the path to immortality with Visionaire 63 Forever. Working with CGI artists, Visionaire transforms 2D photographs into 3D reliefs, pounded into 9x12-inch embossed metal plates. Conceived with the support of G-Shock, “The Toughest Watch in the World-the watch that never breaks,” the inkless and paperless publication aims to take the durable capabilities of high-performance, weather-resistant gadgetry and apply them to the medium of the art and fashion image. Complete with an all-metal case acting as a frame, each issue comes with 10 embossed “pages” by contemporary artists and fashion photographers. Mario Testino contributes the ultimate contemporary fashion icon, Kate Moss, the most recognizeable face in the world. Photography duo Inez & Vinoodh capture the iconoclast, Lady Gaga. Fashion designer and photographer Karl Lagerfeld celebrates the grace and strength of the nude male form by photographing his muse, Baptiste. Craig McDean photographs a skull wrapped in vines dating from the mid-1800s used to obtain spiritual guidance. The artist duo Gilbert & George appropriate the icon of Queen Elizabeth’s bust taken from British currency, sparking conversations about value, immortality, royalty, life and death. Yoko Ono creates a new text piece and asks the viewer to gaze at their reflection in the mirrored metal and read, “Grow Love with Me”. Other contributions by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, Solve Sundsbo, Steven Klein, and Richard Avedon. All product shots by Plamen Petkov"--Publisher's description.

The Spruce Valley Miracle by Andrew Dequasie Pdf

Our civilization is indeed fortunate that Dr. Visionaire has been the first to solve the problem of turning back the clock on the aging process. Fortunate because the brilliant Dr. Visionaire is a highly ethical man. He knows that his discovery can have disastrous consequences; a sudden population explosion as death becomes rare; economic chaos as pension plans go bankrupt; entrenchment of immortal dictators; frozen opportunities for young people facing an immovable establishment. The doctor decides to expose the world to proof of his discovery in a small way without revealing the secret. He knows that someone else will eventually discover the secret and perhaps have no compunction about releasing it, but hopes to give the world time to prepare for the consequences before it becomes an unleashed reality. He takes a job as resident physician in the Spruce Valley rest home for elderly people. As the residents begin to regain their youth, he pretends to be mystified and encourages the rumor that the spring supplying water to the facility might be a second Lourdes. Then he leads the owner of the rest home and the owner's wife into a plot to confirm the Lourdes hoax. As the good doctor puts it, it's necessary to give God the credit --- and the blame. The doctor has chosen his fellow conspirators well. They have a grand time establishing the hoax, which sometimes succeeds all too well. As the fame of the Spruce Valley Miracle spreads and the facility is doubled, the first of Doctor Visionaire's predictions comes true; the Government wants a piece of the action in order to give certain VIPs preferred status. Government money doubles the facility again, bringing a host of new characters and overwhelming paperwork. The local Government agent, Jane Ormond, becomes the doctor's soul mate. Then the second of Doctor Visionaire's predictions comes true; the bad guy appears. A renegade CIA man worms his way into Spruce Valley to search out the real source

Taste by Stephen Gan,Cecilia Dean Pdf

"After tackling scent with issue 42, Visionaire again teamed up with IFF to push the boundaries of TASTE, which proved to be no easy task. As Cecilia Dean explains, "It was one of the most difficult issues editorially, because many visual artists had a difficult time thinking in terms of taste." Still, others delighted in testing the limits of IFF's crack team of flavorists. Jenny Holzer, for example, hoped to stump them by suggesting metal and jet fuel as the flavor of adrenaline, though ultimately IFF prevailed and a flavor was born, matched with one of Holzer's signature text pieces. Dispensed in convenient, self-dissolving flavor strips (so one couldn't spit it out!), the resulting series of tastes ran the gamut, including everything from mother's milk (Yoko Ono) and mint lemonade (Karen Kilimnik) to glue sticks (Thomas Demand) and a rare gourmet pine nut (by famed chef Ferran Adrià). Bruce Weber's photograph of a young boy (paired with the flavor of cherry licorice) reminded readers of the associative power of taste, which IFF president Nicolas Mirzayantz knew about all along. "We knew we were connecting with people in a deep-seated way," he says. "There is something so primitive and primal about taste, which is why we saw such a strong, emotional response from people"--Publisher's description.

Fashion Design, Referenced by Alicia Kennedy,Emily Banis Stoehrer,Jay Calderin Pdf

Fashion Design, Referenced is a comprehensive guide through the art and industry of fashion design, richly illustrated with over 1,000 photographs and drawings. Within the framework of four central categories, Fashion Design, Referenced examines the many interwoven elements that form the tapestry of fashion. “Fundamentals” provides an overview of the essential structure of the fashion profession (its organization, specializations, and centers) and looks at shifts in style over time and in ever-faster cycles going forward. “Principles” introduces the steps in creating a collection, from design to production, and explores directions suggested by sustainability and technology. “Dissemination” charts the many avenues by which fashion reaches its audience, whether on the catwalk or in the store, in print or online, in the museum or on the street. “Practice” gathers and appraises the work of the most influential and innovative fashion designers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. From its first question—What is fashion design?—to its last—What does the future hold?—Fashion Design, Referenced chronicles the scope of ideas, inspirations, and expressions that define fashion culture.

Visionaire No. 60: Religion by Riccardo Tisci Pdf

"No designer draws on religious themes to quite such glorious effect as Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci. Thus, it made perfect sense that Tisci came on board to guest-edit Visionaire’s 60th issue, Religion. Housed inside a distressed wood case lined in black Plexiglas, a book of images revealed Tisci’s world and the inspiration behind his work. Naturally, the works were loaded with symbolism, like a photo of Tisci suckling at the teat of Marina Abramovic — an image the performance artist says echoed the relationship between art and fashion. “When Riccardo was asked who I wanted to collaborate with,” Abramovic recalls, “I said the only thing I want is to collaborate with you. That was my ultimatum. I said to him, This is the situation: do you admit that fashion is inspired by art? Well I am the art, you are the fashion, now suck my tits! He’s very shy, so it took him a while to come around. But he did. During the shoot, I wanted to be in a state of mind as if I were delivering the emotions of the artist whose work is being used as inspiration—luminous yet strong. Art is giving. Art is nourishing. Art is oxygen to society. I was thinking what the title would be, and I thought of The Contract.” For Tisci, it was an opportunity to meditate on his past and present. “Visionaire was a truly important moment of reflection for me,” he says. “This collection of work celebrates inner truths, inner dialogues, and moments which words cannot quantify""--Publisher's description.

Visionaire No. 56: Solar by Visionaire Pdf

"Summer 2009 seemed more colorful than usual, thanks to the boldly innovative Visionaire issue, Solar. Inside a sleek all-white case resided an all-white board-bound book featuring an all-white embroidered bird by Roe Ethridge. The book featured artworks by Alex Katz, Peter Lindbergh, Ryan McGinley, and David Sims--each printed using breakthrough color-changing inks. When viewed indoors or under artificial light, the issue, sponsored by Calvin Klein Collection, was completely stark in its black & whiteness. When exposed to direct sunlight, however, the artworks reacted to UV rays and bloomed into full color--and inspired actual items of clothing, too. Calvin Klein Collection’s Francisco Costa and Italo Zucchelli produced women’s and men’s pieces, respectively, made of fabric dipped in the same color-changing inks. Even Yoko Ono was impressed. “I love experiments on the paper itself in publications,” Ono says, looking back. “Visionaire is the only magazine I know of to make such far-out statements. Every issue is so daring and enjoyable. We all wait for the next one to come out. Bravo, Visionaire!""--Publisher's description.

Visionaire No. 58: Spirit by Anonim Pdf

"Several years before issue 58 came to be, Alexander "Lee" McQueen came to the Visionaire office to discuss collaborating on an issue that ultimately never happened. One day, the staff was discussing a potential issue printed on seeded paper, and the next day, news came that McQueen, one of the most brilliant creative minds of our time, had passed away. The team took this as a sign and dedicated SPIRIT to him. The issue set out to commemorate McQueen's life and career by publishing the imagery that had defined it. From the iconic Nick Knight image of Devon Aoki with a pin through her forehead to the haunting Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin portrait of the designer himself, SPIRIT amassed photographs that, like McQueen and his revolutionary fashion, were completely unforgettable. Mario Sorrenti collaborated with fashion editor Camilla Nickerson producing a photo -- based on the sacrificial lamb -- that current Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton describes as "incredibly moving" and "powerful yet heartbreakingly fragile." Printed onto pulp paper embedded with seeds, the issue could be planted to transform into a garden of wildflowers -- a statement about the transience of life and fashion that honored the designer's vision"--Publisher's description

Collaboration and Co-creation by Gaurav Bhalla Pdf

Today’s consumers are more knowledgeable, networked, and vocal. For them consumption is not merely an act of buying products and services, but an expression of their creative potential. Consequently, they are demanding a say and a voice in how companies conceive, develop, and deliver value to them. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that a large number of companies are transforming how they innovate—not only in terms of developing new products and services, but in how they are created, delivered, and supported to customers. Open Innovation thinking, where companies collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and customers to co-create unique value, is fast replacing traditional thinking that viewed innovation as a proprietary activity and marketing as a static, one-way broadcast. However, while there is significant advocacy and buy-in for collaborating with customers, there is little guidance for companies on how to undertake the journey from applause and appreciation to execution. Only reading about others’ success stories – Nike, Hallmark, P&G, Mozilla, etc. – is not sufficient for helping a company develop a blueprint for themselves. In Customer Driven Innovation, strategy and branding consultant Gaurav Bhalla presents a concrete framework to help companies systematically and effectively design and implement collaborative innovation programs with their customers that can be applied in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts. The authors describe how today’s technologies allow companies to create dynamic dialogues with their customers through shared networks, virtual marketing techniques, and blogs to develop deeper relationships that reinforce brand loyalty and ultimately drive growth. They challenge traditional approaches to market research that measure "customer satisfaction" from a rear-window perspective, and help companies and their customers look forward instead.P>
