Old Spice

Old Spice must have a very funny ad guy as their adverts are always funny, the Will Ferrell adverts were a classic example of this, well their back with a new set and they are even funnier, enjoy the link.

Did you know I'm riding this horse backwards...

30 Seconds to Mars


I saw these guys last night at the CIA, the tickets were free as I work there, but I can honestly say if I had paid for them it would have been money well spent. While his voice isn't brilliant their performance and musicality is, the engage with the audience and the come across as wanting to be there and there for the crowd rather than their wages.

Their Graphics are pretty sweet, they ran a lot of motion graphics on screens while they were playing and while it was all kinda cliched red white and black it works well with the whole bands aesthetics, they may not be saving the world with their message or music, but no one ever does, what they are doing is putting on a really good show.

Fantastic piece of product design.


I watched the Phillipe Stark programme on BBC2 a while back and realised as well as my love for good graphics i am interested in all elements of design especially product design.

This new design for a wall plug may just be one of the best pieces of design i have seen. The full link is below, enjoy.

Hello

I'm sat at my computer in my empty student house, so I figured I'd re start my blog as I seem to be the only person in my class without a blog.

I would imagine it's going to be a mix of decent design I find, possibly some of my work and anything that takes my fancy, plus maybe some personal blogging, but I'm pretty bad at keeping a diary so I wouldn't have thought thought this is going to go any better.

thanks for looking, enjoy.
