LG Viewty

I've posted an LG advert on before but this one for the LG Viewty mobile phone incorporates a flick book and it follows a story of loading a gun and firing it through time missing a number of objects until it explodes speeding up throughout showing the phones capabilities i.e. 120 frame per second high speed recording. The illustration is inspiring and the ability to draw many different sketches to create a film would be something i'd be interested in pursuing.

Mark Gowing Design
























I came across this and really liked the simplicity and colours of them. 'Mark Gowing Design' have come up with this logo for design hub and created a whole alphabet typeface by repeating the logo, so easy to do but you just have to think about doing it yourself. 

Black Cab, Liverpool John Lennon Airport













On going to Liverpool John Lennon Airport during the summer I was intrigued by the black cab sitting in the terminal building on closer look I found it was part of the Turner Prize exhibition in Liverpool. The taxi boasts a large display screen and speakers around the passenger section. The film shows customers thoughts whilst being taken to their destinations about Liverpool being the capital of culture 2008 and hosting the 2007 Turner Prize. This is a great way to show feedback of local people and is interesting as an art installation.

Mini Website













Another video on the mini website homepage too, capturing the excitment and trouble that a mini can bring to your life.

Banboredom.com













A microsite by mini you enter a website or an image and then mini drives through an arena and smashes into your chosen image. Something a little different thats worth a look and is perfectly in tandem with the mini brand. Worth a look.

BMW















I was just wondering around in my hometown when I came across this BMW parked in the street and it just made me smile, a fun and quirky car that is perfect for tough street parking.

Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford



















I spent a number of weeks living in Oxford over the summer whilst undertaking a work placement and took a visit to the Pitt Rivers Museum.  For a start the architecture of the building is beautiful as you can see from the image above arches lining the sides and high ceilings. Then there are the museums, you can see the dinosaur section which is truly fascinating then you move through where there is a wonderful random  and quirky collection of artifacts from ancient mummies to handcrafted models which are of superb quality. Just a wonderful place to visit.
