Girl with a Pearl Earring headphone cover
CASETiFY has turned Johannes Vermeer’s timeless painting into wearable art. The Girl with a Pearl Earring headphone cover transforms its users into the famous muse from the Dutch Golden Age.
The accessory wraps around the earcup, imitating the blue-and-yellow headscarf, while a delicate pearl pendant hangs exactly where Vermeer’s girl would have worn her earring. The accessory seamlessly merges fashion, technology, and art into a single collectible piece.
This design illustrates how classical heritage can inspire modern product innovation—blurring the lines between art and design.

DAFES CHOICE | July 2025
Andrey Trishechkin — “Freezing” (III place winner)
This tabletop role-playing game immerses players in a frozen world of 2102, where the remnants of humanity roam the globe. The atmosphere is heavy with paranoia about alien threats, making survival a challenge both physically and psychologically.
At the core of the gameplay lies a dynamic axis system, with each axis representing a defining character trait: energy, control, decision-making, and stability. This mechanic creates unpredictable, deeply human narratives where trust, fear, and resilience intertwine in a world on the edge of extinction.
P.S. Specialists working in Game Development & Game Visuals spheres are warmly invited to submit their projects for the DAFES AWARDS! Deadline: October 12.

Weekend Recommendation: Amphibian Man (1961)
This Soviet romantic fantasy, directed by Vladimir Chebotaryov and Gennady Kazansky, is based on Alexander Belyaev’s sci-fi novel. While its storyline may feel naive today, the film is unforgettable for its outstanding cinematography, art direction, and costume design.
Quentin Tarantino once praised it, saying: “The cinematography is so good you could watch it in color, black-and-white, or sepia—it’s breathtaking either way. The underwater scenes are pure poetry. Even with modest cameras, the images are magical. Anastasiya Vertinskaya looks like an angel, and the actors somehow managed to capture true romance under the water. I will remember Vertinskaya in this role for the rest of my life.”
For Tarantino, who first saw the film as a child on American TV, Amphibian Man became a defining romantic sci-fi memory. A perfect weekend watch for those who love visual storytelling at its most lyrical!

Art You Can Drink
At Expo 2025 in Osaka (Japan), Suntory unveiled Lidris — a robot that turns drinks into canvases. Instead of printing on the surface, Lidris injects inks directly into liquids, creating floating 3D illustrations in real-time.
The compact device, similar in size to a coffee machine, uses precise nozzles and a specially formulated beverage base to preserve the drawings for over an hour, even if the glass is moved. The pigments used to create the designs are 100% natural.
A futuristic blend of art and technology!

Mistakes that can cost designers a fortune
When working on creative projects, legal details are just as important as design itself. Here are four frequent mistakes young designers make:
Fonts without a license. You cannot pass fonts to the client unless you own a license. Always include its cost in your estimate or warn the client they must purchase it themselves.
“Free” stock is not always free. Not every file from a free library is allowed for commercial use. Always check the license.
Images of people without consent. Using photos or videos of people in commercial projects requires their written consent. Choose stock marked “model release” or get the agreement from your models.
Logos and mascots. Even replicated elements are protected. To use them, you need the copyright holder’s permission.
Awareness of these rules will save your budget — and your reputation!
