Dear Creatives!

We’ve been collecting creative content lately and have combined all the good inspiring stuff in our magazine’s second issue ‘Skip Intro’. Check some of our latest pages out below, and get creative.

The Studio469 Team!

The time is upon us at last. As said before, some random stars have definitely aligned and FRAAI magazine is up and running!

Over the last couple of months we have been working very hard to get to where we are now. We put most of our blood, sweat and tears into this new medium of creative inspiration.

But remember, not only is our first issue titled ‘the prototype,’ it really is a prototype. We are still working hard in getting all the pixel-perfectness and other minor details sorted. So bear with us. By the time we reach the second issue, you can expect almost all of the intended professionalism (just imagine what we have got planned beyond that point…).

Eventually we will phase out the Studio469 blog and focus all of our attention to FRAAI magazine. Here you can find the same contents you have become familiar with over the years and a lot more new professional material. Please adjust your bookmarks!

On an added note, we would advise you to subscribe to our FRAAI newsletter, it will keep you up to date on any fresh pages and provide you with 100% free creative inspiration.

We hope you enjoy our work up till now, and stay with us for the time to come. We promise to deliver one of the best sources of creative inspiration on the internet!

Kind regards,

the FRAAI Team

We know we have been updating far too little lately. No new fresh artists, Weekly Must See’s or any content at all. But we are going to make up for it. Big time! The moment we have been waiting for is almost here…

In the last couple of months we have been working hard on a new way to broadcast our creative and inspirational content. And from now on, it will have a name: FRAAI.

FRAAI is a new online magazine available for all to see, hear, smell and taste (depending on your computer’s features). FRAAI will be continuously updated with fresh material and lifted to an even higher professional level. All the content you became familiar with will not only join us, but also receive an upgrade. Some of the things you may expect are brilliant Cover Articles, Creative Columns, Fraai’s Favourites, and much, much more.

When the time is upon us and some random stars align, you will be the first to know! So sit back, relax, enjoy whatever ride you are currently taking and keep frantically hitting that refresh button until FRAAI is here! (Which will be within the coming weeks…)

We will see you soon!

Today starts the beginning of a possibly very interesting piece of inspiration for you, our dear reader.

Let us introduce to you TED. This is not your run-of-the-mill next-door friendly neighbour. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has even become broader.

Their mission is about spreading ideas. They do so by showcasing the world’s most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes at the annual TED conference.

Then there is the TED Prize. Designed to leverage the TED Community’s exceptional array of talent and resources, it is annually given to three individuals. These winners receive $100,000 and the granting of “One Wish to Change the World”. After several months of preparation, they unveil their wish at an award ceremony held during the TED Conference. These Wishes have led to collaborative initiatives with far-reaching impact.
