New British Airways Outdoor Ad Campaign

This is the newest ad campaign by BBH for BA. Think its a nice example of simplicity working really well. Some simple but well written copywriting and awesome photography coming together really well . View the CR blog entry here.

Jim Bumgardner - YouTube: CoverPop

A dude called Jim Bumgardner, has created this spectrum of colour from the weeks top rated videos on YouTube. Scope it out here. It's updated twice weekly and I assume it dynamically places them on the spectrum by working out their dominant colour. He's also made a couple of funnys/cringers from YouTube vids tagged as 'hunks' 'hotties' and 'lip sync'. Looking at his personal blog, I really liked the Jelly Belly Mosaic. Thought that was pretty cleaver stuff. But then I came across some more of his work which reminded me all the way back to uni. He is the man behind this, which was a massive inspiration during my final project at uni. Crazy how things come back to meet you again. Hey Jim, teach me some stuff please.

Gou Miyagi - My Newest Idol

Man, this guy is my new idol.
Favorite trick; grinding a rail, to a concrete post, shove it, and off.
(its at about 1min 52seconds).
I'm off to try and break some arms.

vi.sualize.us

At last, I've found an alternative ffffound.com. Yes ffffound.com is good, I love it, but they don't love me, I've requested multiple times, well twice, to become a registered member, and they simply wont let me in. So now world, we have a new toy, vi.sualize.us! Come join me and become a fan/friend/stalker of mine. I've also added it to the right hand bar of this here blog.
Oh and I grabbed this lovely pantone rubix cube from vi.sualize.us too.
Ummmmmm.... nice pictures!

Urban Play 2008 Sagmeister Inc.

Look at this, look at this. It's amazing! Sagmeister is so frigging cool. He got 100 people to sort out 250,000 Eurocents into 4 different shades of coin, then made a frigging huge mural. Check the video and the account of what happened over the 8 days here. As I always say, I love it when things are made the hard way, they are so much more rewarding! People might read this and think, "well why are you in web design?" To which I would say, look at this. A hell of a lot of effort has gone into making the elasticmind site. And I personally think it's an amazingly rewarding experience that I'd go back again and again to. Kinda like when tokyoplastic fitst came out.. I remember all of uni were loving it.
