Kylie.com home page
Just in time for the holidays, Kleber launched the new site for Kylie Minogue - or just Kylie for the fans. Quite the massive and high profile job that we turned around in less than a month after to-ing and fro-ing on the design (’it has to be neutral’, ‘its too neutral, use album artwork’, ‘don’t make it too album specific’,…) we created a modular and highly customisable site that is loaded with content, and we now know the lyrics to all her songs by heart. Extra massive big-up to Mr Ben Wise and his 1337 coding!
Just added a new project to the site - ‘S01-Rev/Pulse’, an ambient animation I did for ‘The Colour Rooms’, a new concept space by Sony to promote its BRAVIA product line. The Colour Rooms are what you can call ‘exclusive art/event spaces’ - if I can believe the tabloids Kate Moss likes to hang out there - and shows off Sony’s ‘colour.like.no.other’ strapline while you drink your trendy Mojito.
Kleber was one of the agencies approached to create an installation for it around the aforementioned strap line as part of the permanent Colour Rooms collection. Apparently loads of agencies submitted work, but somehow the powers that be at Sony picked mine to adorn the entrance. Very nice.
The idea behind the installation was to literally create and audio-visual pulse. Inspired partly by my love of 60s and 70s Sci-Fi films and an abandoned idea from a few years ago.
The piece was showcased for 4 months at the Colour Rooms in London and Berlin.

Speak Up (part of the Under Consideration network) has a nice round up of what they call The New(er) Typography of 2007 and conclude that it is Counterless, Bold and mostly Geometric. Nice to see that the Worry Doll cover made their list!

Comics collection A, originally uploaded by helloMuller.
Every couple of years I get in the mood to sort through all of my comics.
When I was a teenager I’d be doing it constantly and had every series I collected in its own dedicated box, bagged and boarded.
Then as I got older reading them became more important than bagging and I started dumping them in longboxes to keep them safe. Of course this meant that rather quickly complete chaos would ensue and I’d never find a complete run of something.
So now I’m doing it all over again - hoping to do it properly this time (at least for the next 4-5 years or so), and along the way rediscovering old favourites, that 1 issue I thought I dreamt up having, and lots of crap (U.S War Machine, Elektra?!) and too much X-Men comics.
I love it. Really.
What you’re seeing on the photo is roughly spanning the last 8-10 years of hoarding.
