We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed

Rubbish photo? Yeah maybe but that is one thing this album isn't. It's not often I'm taken aback by something I buy off HMV for £6.00 but this was a good shock one of those unexpected moments. The music is nice, summery maybe but the packaging, the content just made me smile. So considered and concice here I thought is a group of people who know how to market themselves! Well, good luck to them!

River Island Rocks

As part of our River Island Rocks brief (we had to develop a proposal for an event to promote RI with £1000) we produced a trailer roughly about halfway through this helped to clarify our final ideas. It was so helpful and the results we achieved still make me smile it is fun, quirky and made entirely by us!

We fashioned a make shift attempt at a stop motion set up in my bedroom and went for it!

It's been a long time..

Having two five week projects with the hand in two days apart really isn't as easy as it looks and unfortunately I have definitely neglected my blog. But fear not.. I am back!

I AM...

...inspired WOW... I never thought I would say this but a current project at uni I initially hated is allowing me to discover new exciting amazing things... I think I might actually like it. I've been keeping an eye on 'Swatch MTV playground' for a while and recently discovered the student winner of the 'Remember Tomorrow' competition. Clemens Behr of Germany is fantastic! These fun, graphic installations have popped up in loads of places and they are all so individual and stylistic they are recognisable as one persons. Please go have a peek at the website too kits simple clear and visual! http://www.clemensbehr.com/ The illustration amazing aswell.

Them Crooked Vultures...

I have been trying to upload this video from youtube for ages but unfortunately it doesn't work, surprise surprise a computer not working for me! So hear you go five of (in my opinion) the best shots. In an unexpected way this is better that posting a video because it really gives me a chance to look at the layout. The 'supergroup' Them Crooked Vultures (Dave Grohl- Foo Fighters, Josh Homme- Queens of The Stone Age, John Paul Jones- Led Zeppelin) really know how to keep they're fans hanging on, with cryptic videos/emails/website I love the whole concept. In the 30 second video they posted on Youtube I love the stylistic approach they have used especially the layout and use of perspective. I cannot find out anywhere who did the artwork/illustration/animation but hopefully there is more to come.

Prada Perfection

What I want for christmas is a Prada Limited-Edition Eveningwear Dress... (pleeeease)

Everytime I read the article above I am always remeinded just how beuatiful, intriquite and subtle fashion can be. I will never throw away this magazine. The 'Observer Fashion Supplement, Issue 3: Summer 06' produced by TANK is battered and bruised but is still tucked away in my bookshelf! The Prada Limited-Edition Eveningwear dress pictured above is something that simply inspires me... equisite materials, delicate techniques it is something that embodies quality and laughs in Primark's face. And stylist Chloe Kerman certainly knows when a garment can do all the talking. Simply spectacular.

Aaaaand they're UP...
