Where are the people in the know heading this year? … questioned by The Guardian
Is it the Northwest Passage, the Yasawa Islands, Kashmir or Malta? Unlike says: Cape Town

All eyes are on South Africa this year, as it gears up for the 2010 World Cup. Shaking off its reputation as a “surf and safari” destination, the nation is undergoing a cultural renaissance. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Cape Town. Already home to Infecting the City – a week-long festival of street theatre (2010 dates to be confirmed) – and the Cape Town International Jazz Festival (3-4 April), the city is now a melting pot for the cultural and creative industries. The East City Design Initiative (creativecapetown.net) is currently transforming a collection of rundown factories, office blocks and government buildings into a design hub, peppered with art galleries, clubs, museums and studios. - Constantin Peyfuss for Unlike Media

The eyes of the world are on Cape Town today, when the final draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ takes place in the city …

While the whole of South Africa gears up for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, there is a quiet stream of creativity slowly climbing to the surface of South Africa’s streets that has nothing to do with football. Throwing off its unfair reputation as a surf & safari destination, the uprising country is undergoing something of a cultural renaissance.

From the slew of art galleries, design and furniture stores vernissages and festivals in Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town, to independent record labels like Pioneer Unit and African Dope and artists like Gazelle pushing the boundaries of local music, there’s something in the air.

We at Unlike Media celebrate this day with kicking off our fresh & green project for 2010 - deep down south, ready to explore … welcome to 2010.unlike – exactly six months before the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ kicks off.

A joint event on signage and wayfinding by IIID and The Sign Design Society
vienna.unlike is proud to be the mediapartner of choice and take part in the Signage Technology talks, Dec 11

Sign09 will be the first event of its kind to be held. It is a joint Austro-British enterprise and the organisers anticipate active engagement from designers, architects and manufacturers with the support from the British Council, the British Embassy in Vienna and the Austro British Chamber.

The purpose of sign09 is to bring together and inform those involved in the discipline, to offer education and networking opportunities and to improve awareness of the social and commercial importance of this often underestimated aspect of environmental design.

The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) was founded to develop research and practice in optimizing information and information systems for knowledge transfer
in everyday life, business, education and science.

The main concern of the IIID is to contribute to a better understanding within the human community with respect to cultural and economic issues by means of improved visual and other forms of communication. Special attention is paid to the potential of graphic information design to overcome both social and language barriers.

JazzFest Berlin ’09, which takes place this year from November 4th to 8th, is organized around the theme: Blue Note: 70 years.

To celebrate the anniversary of this jazz stalwart, the Jewish Museum Berlin is hosting an exhibition featuring images and photographs which chronicle the history of Blue Note Records.

Captured by one of the early label-heads Francis Wolff and label photographer Jimmy Katz, the collection showcases rare portraits of Davis, Coltrane, Monk and many more and provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the operations of this trail-blazing label.
