Shangri-La ad, Thanks to Sharan Zwister for this beauty...

I love the filmic use of Tilt-Shift (A new method a lot of people are getting involved with at the moment which makes the subject seem smaller, and more toy-like, than it actually is using fore/background blurring and increasing the contrast and colour etc) in various frames of this short, really excentuates the fagility of the lost traveller.
More Tilt-Shift examples... HERE.

To vuvuzela or not to vuvuzela, there really is no question...

Come on you England.

Stussy & Jarvis collab...

Stussy and illustrator James Jarvis have teamed up to create a set thats promotes responsible street culture, not great for the brand im thinking but a great set of images all the same thanks Jarvis! After meeting James last year I have been looking to procure a graphic of his to meet the illustration he gave me and I think one of this new set will be the decider (you can see the set near the end in the video below)...

Wedgie font...

Its crisp and clean, but not sure of its multi-functionality exactly! Might do a lil something with it one day but for now i'm just liking this geeky fonts 'contact sheet' or 'menu' here...

Tidy.

Ferdinand GT3...

Nicely filmed (another Cannon 5D/7D production no doubt), I love the dead pan presenter and the lap at the end is just beautiful. Comedy GOLD.
This is the cars maker, doing the making... BLAMO.

Right kids, it's Illustrator Wednesday again...

This is the new book from Israel-born graphic designer Noma Bar, Simple but wonderfully concise and meaningful designs. You may recognise his style from Guardian magazines.
I have had this contact sheet of Noma images compiled for you to peruse... HERE.
Inadvertantly came across this site on my Noma travels, just liked the name really... http://www.itsnicethat.com/user/noma-bar

A sticky end to BP.. well the word anyway...

"As the disastrous oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico continues to wreak havoc on the environment and residents along the gulf shore, this plugin may not do much to stop the oil, but it’s a nice way to express anger and outrage over BP’s response (or lackthereof)."


“Want BP to [blank] up your browser like they’ve [blank] up the Gulf? Install the Oil Spill Firefox plugin from @jess3.”
