I’ve seen a few of these types of things in my time, but this is the best I’ve ever seen!
Continue ReadingHaving posted the OK Go video a couple of days ago, I thought I’d share this one with you too
Continue ReadingThanks to Anne for the inspiration Yeah I know, it’s similar to my earlier fakebook
Continue ReadingBefore I go any further I should inform you, that I’m entirely apolitical, I honestly couldn’t care less about politics, or which political party is in power, but I do believe in democracy, and care about equal rights and fairness As the Conservatives campaign slogan states “It’s Time For Change” And they’re not wrong, but […]
Continue ReadingBuilding upon the success of their previous video OK Go decided to get a little more adventurous! Again all done in one take, just like the brilliant yet effortless looking Brylcreem advert
Continue ReadingDidn’t make me rush out and buy Brylcreem, but this advert was superb! And yes it was done in one take, it’s all real, no computers, no CGI… see the making video here
Continue ReadingKeeping with the Hitler in advertising theme, I thought I’d post this mock up
Continue Readingmore Adolf Hitler adverts here
Continue ReadingSmart has plans… Stupid has stories One way to get more stories and less regrets into your life is to take a leap of faith from time to time. I promised I was going to say “Yes” from now on once before… but I’ve become a hypocrite, as lately I’ve ignored my own advice. I’ve […]
Continue ReadingI know it’s been around a long time and there’s been a few copycat TV adverts, but you can’t help watching this all the way through and admiring the originality and imagining the time taken to rehearse it, so as to do it in one take!
Continue ReadingI’ve been meaning to post a link to this site for over a month, but I forgot. As someone that’s only had 2-3 dreams in my entire life (yep that’s true by the way, I don’t dream!), I can’t imagine what’s going through this guys head at night. The basic premise of the site, he […]

Continue ReadingIs it just me, or do you also think this looks like David Cameron?
Continue ReadingI guess life isn’t so black and white after all. I’ve always lived my life and given my opinion based on ruthless truth and openness, and to hell with the consequences. But, not everyone is like me, in fact most people aren’t, that’s a good thing, not everyone wants or can take hearing the cold […]
Continue ReadingWant to download a video from YouTube (or most websites?) Install this plugin for Firefox http://www.downloadhelper.net/ Of course most files stored on YouTube are in Adobe’s Flash format (.flv), so you will require something to play them back. You can use VLC, but wouldn’t it be better if you could us QuickTime? Download and install Perian (you’ll need […]
Continue ReadingToo many ideas, too little time! That may sound a little arrogant, but it’s actually a genuine problem, and I’m not the only one. Some may say it’s a good problem, but I’m not so sure. It’s frustrating as hell to have an idea or a solution, that you know you have to let go […]
Continue ReadingNeed I say more?
Continue ReadingAfter five years of speculation and 15 years after The Steve canned the Newton (still have my three in the attic!), Apple have announced the iPad. I have mixed feelings on the iPad, from a business & user perspective, I think it’s great, it’s been well thought through and it looks gorgeous, sure the big […]
Continue Readingmmmmmmm… not quite what I was expecting from Apple!

Continue ReadingI stumbled across these pieces this morning. First a business card and a video ident sting for E4, both of which use the popular method of using a pattern encased in a square, but the third example uses a different approach, whereby the camera recognises any pre-stored image, in this case a photograph on a […]
Continue ReadingHaving already tested the water with an issue using e-Ink technology, it’s interesting to see Esquire extending the user experience of their paper based magazine with online media, I see this as a terrific medium for marketeers & advertisers, but also educational titles or children’s books where the story or information can be brought to […]

Continue ReadingWorking flat out? Have too much to do? What can you do about it? Put your prices up, because you’re under charging! You’ll probably lose some clients, but with the extra capacity you’ll be able to deliver higher quality solutions, thus better value for the clients you retain. A good balance is 80% capacity, but […]
Continue ReadingIt’s not your home, your car, your stocks, your shares or your money… it’s your time. It’s the one thing you can never get back, don’t waste it. You can spend it, or you can invest it… it’s your choice, choose wisely
Continue ReadingI just stumbled across these images on Beau Bo D’Or’s blog… genius! He has loads of great stuff on his blog so have a look
Continue ReadingNo matter what you’re trying to market or sell, people buy into stories. If you want your idea to spread make it easy for others to spread it, a story or something they can be passionate about is the best way… so make it memorable, better yet, make it unforgettable.

Me Me Me! 2 mins Introduction: why they’re amazing 5 mins The Problem: why everyone else is wrong (why they’re amazing) 15 mins My Solution: passionately explaining their solution in depth (why they’re amazing) 5 mins Capital Expenditure: whiz through what they will spend […]

Continue ReadingTo promote their exhibition stand at the Frankfurt Book Fair, Eichborn the publisher with the fly prepared 200 flies with an ultra light banner. The banner was attached with natural wax. After a short time the banner dropped off by itself. And the flies were not harmed. The concept is certainly remarkable, if not unforgettable, […]

Continue ReadingJust saw these on the Telegraph website, some of the images are amazing! Created by Jan Wöllert and Jörg Miedza, plenty more examples on their website Light Art Performance Photography
Continue ReadingI saw this on Jodi’s Blog the other day and thought what a brilliant way of showing how approaching an issue in a new or fun way can have terrific results by engaging the user in a visceral experience (see Anne’s blog for more on that). What’s also interesting is that this is entirely a […]

Continue Readingis it a stringed instrument? is it a keyboard? is it wind instrument? the answer is yes! The EigenHarp is weird looking instrument, but very interesting, it’s the sort of instrument that wouldn’t look out of place at the Chalmun’s Catina in Tatooine… expect it to appear at a Peter Gabriel, or Jan Hammer revival […]
Continue ReadingLike that ever worked! Can you even imagine the world of grief you’d get trying that one out!! Although they maybe right, she might follow, but only so she can see which car you arrived in, so she can scrawl dickhead in your paintwork… More outrageous cigarette adverts from a bygone era here
Continue ReadingYou have to admire Verizon’s audacity in creating this advert to try and snag AT&T customers over to their network, by playing upon Apple’s “There’s an App for That” tagline used in their iPhone & App Store adverts (in case you’ve been living in a cave for the past year, you’ll find plenty of them […]
Continue ReadingThis morning I was sent an interesting video demonstrating a conceptual approach to a Multi-Touch GUI (Graphic User Interface). The concept has been well thought through and the video speaks for itself, so I won’t go into detail here, but they also touch upon (no pun intended), the notion of a 3D OS (Operating System). […]
Continue ReadingI was having dinner with friends last night when one of them asked if I’d seen the images of Poodles below (yes these are all Poodles). I thought maybe it was the affect of two bottles of red that had made this appear so funny last night, but au contraire, looking at it again this […]
Continue ReadingI love the simplicity of this video and even though it has a U2 soundtrack, it still works really well at capturing the essence of New York.
Continue ReadingI know it’s very immature but what the hell, it made me laugh (especially 3 minutes in). Although it’s worth bearing in mind that this is actually quite funny even without the dubbing (f*cking scary actually!). Special thanks to Ed Alves for posting this on his Facebook wall, what terrific friends I have!
