A larger version of this photo, taken by Margot, shows how the print merges with the background color of the iPod. This sticker is part of the super edition: It's an edition of one design so far, LOL. Super, because the color prints on transparent vinyl are translucent, not opaque.
These are rather experimental stickers. As the color used in this design is orange, you can imagine that this color will intensify, when the color of your iPod is orange as well. Likewise, when the color of iPod is green, this will also intensify the effect.
They appeared without warning. Miss Mao, Bounce, BacoBit and Lucky are four sticker beings who inhabit the outer shell of iPod shuffles. Disguised in familiar shapes from the animal kingdom, their real habitat of influence is the human character. On the downside, their powers may pervert thoughts and deepen self-deceptive tendencies. On the upside, their energies may trick people into ambitious undertakings, even fearless spunk. Through Shufflesome.com, they have found a way to flourish. Freelance designer Anna Lee originally invented the characters to accompany her along her travels. Now, they travel on their own, as Shufflepals, and go wherever the music takes them.
Pick them up and take them on a day-trip to the zoo.
The possibilites to customize your life are endless. Black tea with sugar, two spoons, three spoons - as many as you like. In your mind, you live many lifes, not just one. All the things you are not, play out sooner or later; right before your eyes, with which you look inside. The Circus is the great escape, bringing all together. The little prigs and the bold kings. All the things you are.
Just take a look at the most recent Shufflesome edition, featuring artwork by designer and illustrator Vincent Fraser. His design CIRCUS is a tale of a travelling circus, with a king and clowns. In a tree above a field of vibrant orange daisies and daffodils sits a little owl, "the surveyor of chaos, the herald of revolution and a more enlightened existence". Vincent writes, "I enjoy the process of doing it and not knowing exactly what you're going to end up with". Read my chat with Vince for more clues about his intuitive approach. CIRCUS is exemplary of his often rich and overflowing compositions, of which some turned into adverts for Chrysler, Bacardi, O2 and Nike, among others.
About Vincent Fraser
Based in West London, Vincent specializes in digital illustration ranging from 2d vector work, photo-montage, image-manipulation and 3d modelling. He has nine years experience in the field of digital arts. He describes his style as contemporary with various influences including the 70s and urban culture. Read on for details.
It's two days after i released two more of Vincent Fraser's designs into the wide open space. CIRCUS is one of them and it keeps floating back into my mind. I had to ask Vincent some questions about it.
Alex: The CIRCUS - with which element did you start composing this design?
Vincent: I usually have a rough idea in my head beforehand - then it’s a matter of gathering various elements together to use in the design. Once that's done I begin experimenting with different compositions until I'm satisfied with the result. So I guess I don’t start with any particular one element - it's more a combination of elements fused together, but if I was, it would be the background to set the mood of the whole illustration.
Alex: What was your rough idea that sparked into the bloom of CIRCUS? If you say it was no more than a mood, i understand, but was there more involved - an intention?
Vincent: Well, I wanted to create something that was quiet surreal and give the viewer something to think about - kinda like it’s telling a story I suppose. This was my initial intention so the clown and the field of vibrant orange daisies and daffodils really were the starting points followed by the vector tear drops in the foreground to give it that travelling Circus theme.
Alex: During composition, what entered onto the scene first - the clown or the owl?
Vincent: Definitely the clown :)
Alex: Does the owl carry the key to unlock the hidden treasures in the field of daisies?
Vincent: The owl is the surveyor of chaos, the herald of revolution and a more enlightened existence.
Alex: Chaos. Should this design be worn in protest to the day-to-day juggle?
Vincent: Is the day to day juggle something to be protested? or celebrated……it depends on the perspective of the individual.
Alex: What remedy do you recommend to conquer clownish misery in this world?
Vincent: Look for the beauty in everything.
Alex: A few days ago, Cirque Du Soleil launched the ONE DROP Foundation (onedrop.org). Isn't this amazing?
Vincent: I think it’s a great idea and I hope it will bring public awareness to the serious water issues around the world.
Alex: I think it's wonderful conceptually that the Circus - the arena of individual artistic expression - has been Cirque Du Soleil's starting point to enable such efforts from which we all can benefit. I hope i'll catch one of their shows.
Vincent: Oh definitely maybe we can go together - I think they open on January 6th 2008 at the Royal Albert Hall if your interested?
Alex: I am. I dream of a city with sideshows on every corner. Would you join me on a crusade to force municipal authorities to give up the streets to seriously funny people?
Vincent: I will be at the forefront with all the other graphic pimps!
Alex: Great, i'll bring the armor. By the way, do you juggle a lot?
Vincent: Without a doubt (lol) At the moment I'm juggling baby nappies with pantone colours!
Alex: Baby nappies ... thats's something else. Is this going to be an ad?
Vincent: Hmmm....an ad sounds good I'll bear that in mind.
Alex: When did you start designing?
Vincent: It’s been about ten years now in terms of digital art but if we include my whole design background then were looking at fifteen years at least. I originally came from an Interior Design background so the progression to digital illustration was a natural one.
My main goal is trying to use my experience and combine both disciplines to create something new - similar to what KinkyForm are doing at the moment.
Digital print technology is evolving so quickly it’s allowed new doors to be open for artists to present their work in many different formats never thought possible a few years ago.
Alex: That's right - and i thank you for enriching the Shufflesome collection with your art! By the way, i will be releasing yet another design with Vincent Fraser's art - next weekish.
Check out Vincent Fraser's portfolio at talentdatabase.com.
To wear his art on your Shuffle, choose from among his Shufflesome designs.
Whichever rabbit you are, check out these crafty Shufflepals, made by Anna Lee. Anna has also made her own iPod cozies for the iPod Nano, available at Etsy. Working with her was a breeze, which after all is no surprise considering her experience in designing for print: annamatic.com.
Transparent Shufflesome stickers are not available, not yet. Today i decided to change that, after spending another day with my printing partner. The Black Edition will be made of laminated, transparent adhesive foils, with black artwork. Any of the 5 Shuffle surface colors will shine through. Take a look at Alexandra's version, made from Tape-it. Isn't that exquisite?
We won't use sealing tape though. It's something else, a foil pretty thin and good at absorbing color at the right pitch; the best of the bunch we tested. Not your typical best-price sticker. As with the stickers made from white vinyl, these will be laminated. This means that the stickers are finished with a protective film; in terms of preserving the art and resisting abrasion.
I'll wear it myself for a week, do more testing, tearing, gazing, but after today i am confident this is it. I hope you'll like them. Updates can be found at the Shufflesome Black Edition.

MUSICK by Olka Osadzinska, and her other design: DAMSEL AT SEA, will be produced in the next print run. Check out her drawings at www.aleosa.com.
Here is a bag of sweets. Shufflesome pioneers a new line of sticker designs for the new iPod shuffle. The stickers will be available during the first week of December. You can pre-order now through the shop.
The cut-out of Shufflesome stickers is unmistakable by the frontside decal, which partially covers the button. The vinyl-material is flexible enough to "melt" onto the surface - almost like hot beeswax.
Photos (open in new window): ABSTRACT, DEVILESS, CHERRY BLOSSOMS.
Creating designs for the new iPod shuffle should be much easier now, since there are only two decals versus nine for the white stick-style iPod shuffle. Apart from being a great wearable iPod, I hope it's going to be the favorite music-player for artists to put their graphics on.
Shufflesome are Alexander Ebrahim Schneider and presently 32 contributing artists. Many thanks to Meaghan Kennedy at Orange Sparkle Ball, J-Paul Ioannidis at CABINE, and Massimiliano Panzironi at DolceQ for creating the first edition of 9 sticker designs.

ON COMICS
I dont get those comics like STARIA, that are a continuing saga, but only last two frames. Its slower than Days of Our Lives.
ON GARFIELD

CHILL PILL and THRILL PILL, contributed under the label Oatmeal Production, by Linda Mai-Lotti, Sr. Designer for Nike Inc.
Linda Mai-Lotti (Location: Beaverton, Oregon, United States) is currently at work for Nike Apparel’s Advanced Innovation Team, where she designs elite athlete competition uniforms and advanced sportswear. Her previous work at Nike was dedicated to the design of bags, Niketowns, such as Niketown Chicago, Nike Women´s stores and the Sydney 2000 Olympics athlete lounge.
My great lesson there is about storytelling - how to communicate the innovation and technology in Nike products to consumers in a compelling and fun way.
Linda Mai-Lotti graduated in Architecture and Industrial Design. Prior to NIKE, she worked at IDEO. The design methodology at IDEO left a mark: Very user focused and holistic approach on social, environmental and human interaction of products.
Process:
My process always begins with research. So rarely I am the targeted user for my products. I learn as much as I can about the problems, likes and dislikes. The goal regardless of projects is always the same, how to make the experience better. That’s why I love the shufflesome stickers. It takes an ubiquitous object and makes it personal.
Sources of Inspiration:
My husband, Martin Lotti. He is the Nike Global Creative Director for Women’s Footwear. His most current released product is Nike Air Max 360. Having two Nike designers in the same household, we push each other to try new things and learn from each other’s area of expertise. Our 2 year old boy, Owen is also very inspirational. I learned through him the intrinsic human nature’s need for fun, laughter, and love. It distilles down the everyday complexities into something very pure.
