Noche UFC 2025

This project consisted of designing the entire image for "Noche UFC 2025", held at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, on September 13, 2025. The project follows a "Guadalajara" theme, honoring the Mexican city originally chosen to host the event. Under this creative direction, we developed: - A series of custom logos. - Three illustrated key arts. - An original typography. - A comprehensive system of secondary and supporting graphics. These assets were designed for integrated use across the venue, official merchandise, social media platforms, and the television broadcast.

Liz West Transforms a Bristol Parking Garage into a Kaleidoscopic Passageway

Who said parking garages were just for cars? British artist and color devotee Liz West has transformed a single floor of a typical concrete structure into an immersive chromatic environment fit for skating, dancing, and basking in a rainbow glow.

To create “Our Colour,” West covered hundreds of existing lights in the Cabot Circus Car Park with pigmented theatre gels. Without its usual traffic, the space instead becomes an open canvas for the artist’s interest in experiencing color in a more direct and physical way.

“Does colour change the way you feel? What does it feel like to be inside a...

Core77 Design Awards 2026: James Krenisky on Design's Disappearing Walls

James Krenisky has watched the silos come down. As a mechanical engineer who began his career specializing in thermal design for high-performance lighting fixtures and now serves as Senior Technical Marketing Manager for Autodesk's Fusion and Inventor products, he's witnessed a fundamental shift in how products get made.

"What really gets me energized is how the walls between design, engineering, and manufacturing are disappearing," James says. "Teams are sharing the same workflows, the same language, the same data. It makes it so much easier to take an idea and turn it into something real without losing the original intent...
