The Advertising Process



In case you were wondering,
here's how it works. A few simple people, turn a simple idea, into something simply awful.

Tales of a Forgotten Tomorrow



A stop frame animation made by my illustrious copywriter Craig Kind. He's done quite a few shorts now, though I think this one is my favourite.

Smart Napkins



I love things like this. You get 4 different tie designs, 5 in each pack.

WTC Asbestos Ad



Read the body copy on this ad: 'Asbestos contains fire, cannot burn and holds up after metal and glass have burned down, giving vital time for people to escape'.

The Dexter Hit List



A pretty cool viral campaign by digital agency Ralph for the launch of Dexter season 2. The viral, sent out in the form of a press conference, aims to convince you the viewer, that you're next on a serial killer's hit list.

Mobile Phone Racing



The site's not up just yet, but here's the logo i've created for mobilephoneracing.com.

World Challenge



Brush up on your geography at tripadvisor.com. Pick out famous landmarks against the clock. If you can get past level 10, you're a genius.

Pitvertising



Right Guard are apparently using a group of 'pitvertisers' as part of a new marketing technique; digital displays on armpits. Well...it's something different, i guess.

Get it Straight



Turn your laptop or mobile phone into a spirit level. Created for Bosch by Jung von Matt AG, Stuttgart, it won silver in Interactive at this years Clio Awards. This week, BMB have released its virtual pint on the iPhone for Carling. Now, why would anyone want a 'virtual' pint?

Suggestive Doodles



Here's a collection of bad ass drawings. Or better still, here's the Phallic Logo Awards, honoring designers who get a penis logo approved by their client.

The Human Mirror



I'm not sure why, but then, why not? Here's the latest mission from those weird and wonderful folk at Improv Everywhere.

I met the Walrus


Director Josh Raskin's beautifully animated interpretation of Jerry Levitan's 1969 interview with John Lennon. Illustrated by James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina.

Mobile Popcorn



Oh dear. Is this real?

Toy Story Zoetope



The first zoetope was designed in AD 180 by Ting Huan. By pasting a succession of images onto the inside of a cylinder with vertical slits in it, a spinning zoetope gives the illusion of action. This one for Toy Story however, uses strobes to pick out the necessary frames from a spinning 3D model. And it looks awesome. The technique is sure to be used somewhere in adland soon.
