OK GO

OK GO have managed to amaze me again with their fantastic music video. This, their latest, is like the car ad, but better! Worth a watch, you never know what might happen next! ">

Barz Art

This video by Mike Barzman is a fantastic example of high speed camera recording. It's a must see!

Oscar Diaz

This innovative calendar caught my eye recently. It slowly soaks up the ink a day at a time to create a beautiful image made with typography at the end of the month.

I went to see Invictus tonight. I was unsure whether I was going to enjoy it or not but now I am so glad I have seen it. It was a truly inspiring film with fantastic real life based elements. Morgan Freeman adopts the character of Mandela with admirable conviction, as does Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar. Being a rugby lover myself, it was great to see how Mandela used the sport to bring the whole of South Africa together as a country and to help abolish apartheid. 5 star.

Record sale

Well i am definitely in the wrong line of career here! This Alberto Giacometti sculpture sold for a record £65 million in auction at Sotheby's in London today. A L'Homme Qui Marche (Walking Man 1) made from bronze broke the record for the most expensive piece of artwork ever auctioned. WOW

Winter Olympics

The Winter Olympics are fast approaching, i can't wait personally for the ski slaloms. The advert is getting me very excited! With a touch of Michael Buble, who can not like it!

D&AD Brief

Another competition brief chosen from the D&AD briefs. I chose The Body Shop's brief which was to up with a campaign to 'reinstate them on the market place as the ethical beauty supplier on the high street'. Originally i designed posters which encouraged people to look beyond skin deep and at their natural beauty, but after tutorials I found that posters are not a campaign! a valuable lesson to learn. so I came up with 'the truth campaign'. The Body Shop pride themselves on being honest and telling the truth about their products and their ingredients so the truth campaign comprises of installations in town centres with the 'true' ingredients on the side of the bottle and tag line; 'Our products won't make you beautiful, or even a nicer person.' The second part of the campaign will be a 'truth booth' also in town, encouraging people to tell their embarrassing truth. The 'truths' will then be anonymously uploaded to the internet for people to read and to realise that, actually, our worries are insignificant!
