Sorry I’m Late
A great short film I found on YouTube the other day and thought I would have a little show and tell with you guys. It’s only 3:11 minutes long so you should give it a watch.
You can see the making of the short film and more at Sorry I’m Late which is the original source by Tomas Mankovsky.

Attitude Chair
New York designer Deger Cengiz has created a chair with an extra support that swings out when the chair is tipped back: Attitude Chair. I’ve seen this idea on the Simpson’s one time before but now someone have actually made one of these chairs. My first thought was, of course, where can I obtain one of these bad boys but sadly there a limited edition item of only 13 for Voos Furniture . I might just have to break out the drill and red paint on the kitchen chairs tonight.
Zoo Safari
Eye catching ad campaign from Zoo Safari. We’ve all seen the standard leaflet under the car window wiper “nothing special there” but I thought this was a nice take on the idea and a little different. I first found the Zoo Safari sticker image on P Paradigm, after some looking around I found the rest of the collection on Design Scene and Topys.

Lego Ad Campaign
I first saw this branding campaign for Lego a few years ago when I was given a re-branding brief in Foundation. Recently I have been seeing these images come up in a number of places and my interest have been re-sparked. A very simple but effective idea showing us the creative imagination of children. This campaign have been done before by Advertising Agency: Draftfcb and was the winner of the Cannes Lions 2006.

The making of PlayStations Logo
This image shows the development of the PlayStation logo. I thought it would be interesting to see how global company’s like PlayStation come up with their logos and the process they use to design these cult bands that we all know to this day. This image was found at Kotaku (a gaming blog).
Zohra’s Card
Fitness trainer Zohra Mouhetta gave Leo Burnett Dubai, United Arab Emirates a brief for a business card that stood out from the crowd. They created an intuitive folding business card that was unique and interactive, making it an unforgettable hand out. By tearing of the flab they kept the business card in keeping with her profession and goals.

Remember the good old modular shape days, do you still find yourself walking down the street and saying to yourself “dam that’s some good modular shapes” well i was on fleuron.com and found a link to Joakim Jansson (Swedish graphic designer) and that very same thought came into my head. These are two examples of Joakim Jansson work that i have picked out of an inspiring collection (link above).
In our quest at the time we all must have came across something like Provrum Art Agency & Gallery example of modular shapes, it’s not the most groundbreaking design but i thought it was well executed and that i show you guys.
I couldn’t put my finger on it at the time but the Digital Etikett’s font greatly reminded me of something that i had seen before and then it hit me Karla Burns bubblegum font. I enjoyed the diagram on the left showing how it all came to be, I sat there examining it and comparing the two images as it all became clear.
Is it time to reflect? yes i think so, well i guess what I’m trying to say it “bring on the typography”
