-- Protodezign | Japan + US
People read differently now. Writers, designers, and programmers equally share the power/tools necessary to help a message make its mad way through an organism's fuck off filter to lodge itself in the soul, causing sensations ranging from pleasure or nausea to revelation. Protodezign's been a rather successful experiment in a truly egalitarian collaboration of the three creative disciplines, from larger conceptual hoo-hah all the way to quickie one-off experiments. A lot of the material ended up self-reflexive toying with the meaning of the medium, but that's to be expected. I mean, we started working together in the nineties, for crying out loud. Protodezign are Hideki Owa, Kevin Ripp and Dan Sheetz.

-- Jon Ragel | US
That photographer Jon Ragel was born the youngest child to a large family of pool builders Tucson, Arizona. Years of intensive training taught him the art of gunite application. As rewarding as this work proved to be, his dream was to attend the prestigious design school, Art Center, in Pasadena, CA. Circumstances conspired to allow Jon advanced standing in fifth term placement. His first cover for Spin Magazine got him noticed by Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Allure, and many other notable publications. Since transplanting to New York his resume includes Lee Jeans, Captain Morgan's, Cover Girl, as well as CD packaging for Britney Spears and music videos. When he's not mooning over his photographer wife, Alex Newhall and son Dante, he can be found snowboarding, playing his bass or mastering the ancient art of the boomerang.
-- Karsten Rieke | Germany
Comfortably located in Hamburg, Germany (where the weather is rough and the girls are tall), Karsten recently returned to University after a decade long career in the new media field. We blackmailed him into getting back to his roots for a week or so and he has been simply great supporting all sorts of back-end needs for the RED issue.
