I stumbled across the old ‘NIKE Sphere’ ads again, by the guy that did the guy who did The End of the World. They should’ve been on TV. Everywhere.

HOKAY, so here’s the earth..
28th October 2009The Graphic Exchange
23rd October 2009I’m always on the look out for inspiration and I can’t believe that I’ve never come across this resource before. Jam packed with fantastic work, separated into categories. One for the bookmarks!
Lonely Planet develop Google Wave app
22nd October 2009One of my all time favourite brands, Lonely Planet, has developed an application for the new real time communication service, Google Wave. Users are able to collaboratively develop itineraries for up and coming trips in real time.
Andy Altman from the ‘Why Not Associates’
22nd October 2009Andy Alman was talking at the watershed last night organized by the West of England design forum. The Why Nots, now a team of 8, started in 1987 after studying at the RCA. I quite like the philosophy behind the name ‘Why Not’ — ‘We never had a plan so nothing could go wrong’.
Some of the work shown:
- Next — The Bible of mail order.
- Smirnoff Ice posters.
- Museum installation ”Kobi in Japan’.
- Gordon Young — sandblasted type installation in Morecambe.
- Apocalypse poster.
- Ad for BBC match of the day.
- Canvas logo.
The Postcode Newspaper
19th October 2009Newspaper Club, a service created to help people make their own newspapers, has been experimenting with the newly released beta of Data.gov.uk – and with impressive results.
Aimed at informing UK home movers, the system will mine freely-available data on a given postcode – including local services, environmental information and crime statistics – and then format the results into a newspaper for ease of consumption.
Aside from being incredibly useful, the presentation of the data is also beautifully crafted and immediately readable.
Brooks England Ltd
19th October 2009
This Brooks leather saddles website really appeals to me, (despite the dubious splash page)! I love the unsolicited testimonials column, balanced by unfiltered criticism column. Don’t know who did it, but, nice one!
Dixons – the last place you want to go
19th October 2009The latest poster and press campaign for Dixons by M&C Saatchi is in the tradition of the great work done by the likes of David Abbott for the Economist. It’s simple, beautifully executed and clearly based on a great bit of consumer insight from M&C’s planning team and the creative department have done them proud with a brilliant idea. Old fashioned advertising at its best…if ad agencies can produce work of this standard then to bastardise Mark Twain “reports of their death have been greatly exaggerated”. Will be interesting to see how effective the campaign turns out to be. Presumably it will be fairly easy to measure as the call to action is driving customers to the Dixons website.
Live drawing
14th October 2009I went to Mr Wolf’s on St Stephen’s Street (Bristol) last night. Quite interesting to see the live drawing. 2 artists working independently and then swapping over to join up their illustrative styles to make one picture.
