Pictures of People

I have found this book in children section in bookstore where I was watching it every time I came back. Very simple design which describes different people and the usage of colors is very powerful. Also the idea using the spread to show contrasts between or of people: nudist and invisible man, sleeper and ill person or dancer and plumber. All pairs or couples on different spreads are connected by symbols which would never come to your mind.

This book was also awarded in 2009 by the prize of the nicest book on the world. The author of illustrations is french and calls himself Blexbolex.

The Nutcracker

Finally I had time to see one of the performance from Bolshoi Ballet from Moscow which are broadcasted live in the 450 cinemas all around the world and luckily also in our theatre in Zlín. Because it is only few days before Christmas yesterday performance was The Nutcracker. As I love ballet I was so amazed by the dance, music, costumes and how all arrangement went so beautifully together. Before the performance I was afraid of watching the ballet in the cinema but the atmosphere was surprising for me.

Verica's animation

I have to share with you this video. It is a graduation movie of my friend Verica and I can't stop thinking how beautiful it is.

This film is dedicated to all those who have never given up hope.
No matter what.

Comenia Script

Comenia Script is a font and also a set of an exercise book, a poster, different "games" and other helps which was created to help children and students to better understand text, better write and simply like czech language. I really like and admire this work.

This set was designed to be used in Czech elementary schools to supercede classic written alphabet. More can be found here.


Amedeo Modigliani

Today I went to Amedeo Modigliani exhibition in Municipal House and honestly I was expecting little bit more of his paintings there. Chosen place fits to this exhibition very well. And it was also nice to see photos from his life, movie and sketches. However there could be more of his paintings at the expense of all other mentioned materials. His works are beautiful, I admire them a lot but I wanted to see more of them. I also liked an idea to show the movie at the exhibition which maybe tried to balance the lack of shown paintings.
