Everyone needs a holiday every so often. Of course, that ‘holiday’ can come in many forms, but I guess the key theme is that of a break from the norm. To do something different, to relax, to turn up, and to unwind. A short holiday I had this year was to Marrakech, and asides from […]

This is the kind of work I’d like to produce, it’s something I would look back at over the years and say ‘damn I’m still proud of that ad’. Nike India released this short film to celebrate cricket - if you’ve ever been to India, you’ll know what the country is like when it comes to the sport. I’m probably one of a few Indians that doesn’t like the sport but this film has made me want to play. Anywhere. More after the cut.

Film is dead. Long Live Film. Between the accessibility of the the digital camera and ubiquitous nature of the camera phone, its no wonder that the world of analogue photography is being dwarfed in mainstream. Despite the slow but reassuring resurgence over the past few years, the analogue club is still pretty inaccessible for the uninitiated. Luckily for those with an interest in the craft, two London-based photography collectives are celebrating the young mavericks who are keeping the art form alive…

Better late than ever. Never late is better. Apologies for that Drake quote but it made my point clear. Here’s a few new songs for your ears, still not as many as we usually come across. I guess we’ve become somewhat picky when it comes to new music. So much mediocrity everywhere.

A few weeks ago Yang posted the “Blowing in the Wind” Apotek Subway Ad, a super cool and innovative advertising board that reacted to the arrival of a train. Well, it looks like they’re not the only brand to reinvent the very traditional method of advertising, as Pepsi Max follow suit. They have installed what they call an “augmented reality experience” at a bus shelter on New Oxford Street to attract the attention of those waiting for the iconic red bus. Watch their reaction as a tiger bounds towards them and a group of UFO’s appears as they look down the street.

If you haven’t seen Wes Anderson’s, The Grand Budapest Hotel, it’s well worth watching. It has a great cast, magical cinematography, beautiful colour palette and is ultimately a really fun comedy caper. All his films have a very particular visual style that is hard not to find visually pleasing. This excellent little short highlights one particular troupe, symmetry and centering. I’ve always tried to avoid symmetry and centering when taking photographs or back in school when I was working on art projects, however Anderson utilises it to such great effect that I’m quite inspired by its use. Check out the video and see just how precise he gets it.

Finally a collection video that actually shows you the collection. No sexualised males or females prancing around here, just one ninja (no not Derek). ACRONYM are always innovating in terms of technical features and functionality, without abandoning aesthetics. I would love to get hands on with some of their stuff because the details seem endless. You’ll need deep pockets if you want to shell out on this stuff and it might be a while before the high street catches up.

You’ve heard of these guys if you’re into design at all. Every little thing that we do online now requires a font - heck, what are you reading right now? Fonts are at the core of what made Apple rise above Microsoft’s Window. Jonathan and Tobias noticed the potential in helping the creatives bring their idea to come life through impactful typefaces for all purposes and situations. They explain the process of starting with the H and O as they’re square and circular letters which paves the way for the rest. Fascinating watch. The attention to detail and patience required to create a typeface is mind-blowing.

That’s what I’d to manage being a homeless gutter, as a destitute baby to the avenues, without any potential, with no past. So I cannot view, simply make best website to order an essay it. Our lives were centered by us on only contempt for your proven fact that come dawn, we would be in lifeless or imprisonment. What of function? I remember seeking to the fantastic atmosphere strolling the pavement along, and merely thinking, “Wherever I’m proceeding, I’ll make it happen somehow, sometime.” Memories and ambitions of experiencing a property using a true family flaunted my mind by the good Pacific front as the darkness above swirled. I wandered up to gal I asked her if she and I could hug and hardly knew.
Because ” I does n’t be effected by Politics straight” was most likely the explanation of every Western country that did not oppose Hitler’s program, nonetheless it will be the National swastika shining now.
