Design The 4th Bin for E-Waste Recycling
Valiant Technology is calling for entries in an international competition to design a logo and a collection bin for e-waste recycling.
The logo is intended as a public-domain design, similar to the familiar möbius strip on current paper/plastic/metal recycling bins. The 4th Bin is to be the means by which e-waste is responsibly collected.
Our intent is to see a clearly labeled 4th bin placed centrally in every building in New York City, and eventually all across the country.
Petar Petrov Spring/Summer 2009 Collection
Petar Petrov – Spring/Summer 2009 Lookbook | SwipeLife
Bulgarian designer Petar Petrov bases his self-named label in both Sofia and Vienna, and his aesthetic is distinctively influenced by Eastern Europe, with his slim-cut jeans, short-hemmed shirts and sleeveless tops. His Spring/Summer 09 collection is full of suitably lightweight cotton and nylon sportswear. With a liberal use of drawstrings on both shirts and pants and plenty of pockets, the line is tailor-made for an active lifestyle. The soft colors keep things airy, with the exception of some darker statement pieces, like a knee-length nylon jacket. The lookbook, like the clothing, is fairly straightforward. For more information about the brand, visit Petar Petrov.
