Almaty now and then

My younger brother Damir made a photoalbum several years ago. It was dedicated to historical buildings of our beloved city. This was the collection of photos from the archives as well as some shots taken nowadays.

This album would have been good for visiting tourists as all pictures were accompanied by description. You can also compare the looks of those buildings now and then.

Out of my pictures of Almaty we made a slideshow video for my friends from the band Nectar. They made a cover of an old Russian song called “Forest deer”.

Here’s an almaty pics slideshow video.

Almaty pictures and photos – fountains and mosaic

As summer’s coming to end and the weather is fine outside I decided to take a walk down the centre of Almaty and take a few pictures of some artefacts of old town. Here’s another portion of shots called “Pictures of Almaty”. Unfortunately, city authorities encourage builders to tear down old buildings or “renew” them in a way that they look terrible. If this keeps going this way, soon we wil live in a concrete and glass megapolis.

I’m not harsh as it may seem as a lot of old architecture is not here anymore.

Some mosaic can be seen on the facade of the Youth Theatre, in frotn of the Almaty hotel and former carpet factory. If you go to Tselinniy cinema or Bachus winery there is some as well. Infotrunately, the mosaic on the wall of the Eurasia insurance building is hidden now.

In fact, I created dozend, if not hundreds, brand identities for every possible industry and business scale.

There were small boutiques selling perfume, I worked with banks and Telecom & IT companies, made some job for furniture manufacturers.

A handful of model

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Неон-арт Алма-Аты, часть 5

В продолжение темы о неоновой рекламе Алма-Аты, выкладываем еще несколько образчиков старых вывесок.

Этот магазин находится на углу улиц Чапаева, простите, Манаса и Джандосова. И так всё понятно.

По улице Мате Залка, если ехать вниз от проспекта Абая, когда-то работал магазин Сайран.

Различные бытовые услуги населению предлагал когда-то “Комбинат” по пр. Коммунистическому – уг. ул. Маметовой. Но увы, как и эти услуги, он канул в Лету. Магазин “Мурагер” и по сей день находится на пересечении Ташкентской – Петрова. Правда, это тоже совсем уже не тот “Мурагер”.

p.s. И напоследок, привет из Караганды. За день пребывания удалось снять на камеру несколько забавных экспонатов. Вот один из них, с центрального проспекта Бухар Жырау, быв. Советский:

Что там написано, сразу не разберешь. Оказалось, “Продукты”.

Crocker Bank – We’ve only just begun

Реклама 1970 года, агентство Hal Riney. Песня из ролика вскоре станет величайшим хитом. О сценарии ролика: за 40 лет мало что поменялось в банковской рекламе – все те же темы, все те же ценности. НО, как здорово показан небольшой период жизни одной семьи. Заботы, чувства – все настоящее, ничего наигранного. Отличная метафора, по-моему, для банковских продуктов.
