Cold paper anyone?

Think Different

Some one told me today that in 1970, before the internet was really about, before I or many of my friends were even born, Steve jobs was already thinking about WIFI and iCloud. Now that really is thinking into the future. I wonder what recent ideas were in his sketchbook...

Scooby

So I saw a scooby doo head on the floor, which was strange. Then, about a meter later I saw this. I think I've just solved a murder...

Orange

I went to see Drive the other week, which was amazing, but this just made me laugh

Hand tools

I was working on creating a set of hand tools last weekend. I tried making a chopping knife

My Olympic dream

Sadly my dream to be in the olympics had passed when i was 10, but I did have another one. The vast majority of Londoners aren't particularly excited about the the olympics, so here are some ways of making the olympics fun and inspiring people to get involved. So when people hear 'olympics' they smile.

Typetone

A few shots from our project last week. We had to express the typographic term 'colour'. After realising this had no relation to actual red / green colour, we found it simply means the tone of a block of text. We created a typographic Pantone range that looked at text as a block of colour and played with the idea that it had no relation to the type of colour we first thought.

Littering

Someone has considered the height of the rubbish in relation to where it should be littered...

Oh lidl

Lidl have finally caught on...

Signs

The Partners signs got me looking... Some on my walk home last night

Reading list

My reading list from last week + this week. Brownjohn's sex and typography looks interesting...

Redesigning road signs

A little project done by The Partners about re-thinking road signs. Their only sketches but i love some of the ideas!

Brutal Simplicity

This is a new book by Maurice Saatchi about how simplicity of thought can change the world. On the back however it pretty much sums up what it's about with a brilliant truth about simplicity.
