According to Fubiz, Ferrari has made this concept car. Its a very interesting piece of design based on the shape of a wing. And I can imagine that those glasses will be a right hit with the cheesy marketing guys.

You can call this wind powered megaphone on +4790369389 and your call will be beamed across the Norwegian mountains and fjords, scaring the shit out of any nearby mountaineers or just anoying the farmers in the vally below. This is great for those moments when you feel powerless, instead of sucumbing to apathy, start the day like a real man, shout across the mountains, dictator style!
“WHAT IS A TELEMEGAPHONE?
Telemegaphones are tall loudspeaker sculptures that automatically answers incoming phone calls and projects the sound of the caller’s voice into its immediate surroundings.”

Shoreditch, Hoxton, Brick lane… all areas that have more than their fair share of art galleries. You cant turn a corner in East London these days without seeing another newly opened gallery.
And with ’street’ and ‘urban’ art hogging the majority of press attention in the art world these days, its easy to see why the traditional home of Graffiti in London is inundated with people all too eager to get in on the act and strike whilst the iron is hot.
brick lane gallery
The Brick Lane gallery differs somewhat in its approach to this scene, putting on shows/exhibits on a submissions basis - meaning the lesser known names on the scene at least have a fighting chance of having their work seen. It also gives aspiring artists the chance to exhibit alongside well known names such as Grafter, Sten, Dan Kitchener and Hush to name but a few.
And I should know… I was encouraged by a friend to submit to the first ‘Free for Wall‘ exhibit in June. And they not only accepted my piece… they sold it also. So you can safely say they know their market.
The gallery has just finished its 3rd rendition of the ‘Free for Wall’ concept - as well as running other shows concurrently - and is continuing to grab attention due to the honesty of their approach and their obvious interest and love of street art.
Long may it continue…
Best short film I have seen in a long time Oktapodi by Julien Bocabeille, Francois-Xavier Chanioux, Olivier Delabarre, Thierry Marchand, Quentin Marmier and Emud Mokhberi did an amazing work for this world known academy. Animation, lighting, moddeling, textures.. etc all of them amazing..
Have fun!! 
The company I’m working for at the moment (BB-K.com) here in Germany just recently launched the new Porsche website. It’s not a completely new site but more of a facelift, with extras. The site has coprporate designs style but also very clean, and I really like the interface of the main menu. You can actually browse all the models and find the car you like without clicking once. I also reccomend you check out the ‘build your own porsche’ section in 3D. Very nice but you need Shockwave installed.

Old Spice makes me feel dirty.
Just the name, old spice, sounds like something a ‘ripe’ lady would wear, you know, one that’s a tad on the elderly side and even if you do a really drunken “what age group is okay” math calculation she would be way outside the result. In the same way as ignoring the result of that calculation would make me feel dirty, so does this campaign. I kind of wish that the gay guy at work didn’t ‘all staff’ the url and that I wasn’t just bored enough to watch it. But I did, so now it is with the greatest pleasure I put this here, so that your eyes will also be scared.
Yours, not feeling bad at all

Truly impressive!

I was looking at the wonderful work of Kerry Roper, who does stuff on canvas (art) combining photography, illustration and type. He also does work for the fashion industry and has made some t-shirts for top shop, which I am quite tempted to go and buy. How ever I came across this (above) and then realized that not everyone (like me) likes Helvetica. I had always thought that Helvetica was quite agreeable, but it turns out that the fact that everyone from Orange to the dodgy whole sale retailer across the street use this font makes it, to some people, ‘wank’.
I then discovered that Neville Brody, one of my heroes, said in a BBC interview : “When people choose Helvetica they want to fit in and look normal. They use Helvetica because they want to be a member of the efficiency club. They want to be a member of modernism. They want to be a member of no personality. It also says bland, unadventurous, unambitious.” And I can understand that, I do a lot of work for the finance industry, and I use it all the time. Helvetica is safe, it might be a bit unadventurous, but it is also a nice clean typeface.
Yours, purposefully leaving Gill Sans out of this

Ricardo Salamanca does some pretty cool illustration as pictured above reading “Speak Russian in minutes”. He also creates amazing moods in photoshop, you will see what i mean if you go to his Salamagica site. On some of the photoshop compositions he also shows you what assets he has been working with and you can clearly see that it is a long way from the assets to the finished comp.
I also enjoy the detail in the background of this composition, as you can see on his site this room is pretty empty before he puts it in photoshop.
Yours, happy on a Monday morning

The new Website for the new VW Scirocco. An amazing site with great video and 3d production. Well worth a visit, only comment would be, why don’t they have a more catchy name for such a cool car?
Have fun!!
I have a friend called Andreas. And he loves Tapirs. So when I came across this blog about tapirs, I almost laughed out loud in the office. This one is for you Andreas.
Your german correspondent wishing you a good weekend.

I came across this video by tourist pictures. It’s the american wars since WW2 represented by food in a stop motion animation. Pretty funny, and well made. Pay attention and see if you can guess the countries represented by a piece of culinary.
Here is food fight website with an explenation of the food/countries.
linky to their website where you can find other movie projects.
Until next time, auf wiedersehen

I’ve coined the term ‘bitter sweet inspiration’ based on a not in any possible way familiar scenario in my current position:
You come back to work after a day off, the account team has cancelled the flash animated landing page you talked about two days ago, and sold the client a page with a massive logo and all their products crammed in to it. You go to the kitchen only to discover that someone has left just enough for a quarter of a cup in the coffee pot and there is no way of getting out of making a new one. When you open your email there is a ‘URGENT’ gif amends job request which has to be done ‘ASAP’, you think “I’ve heard that before” and then the guy nest to you show you this: http://www.albertocerriteno.com/
Then you feel it, the bitter sweet inspiration, the feeling that after work today I am going to start all those amazing projects I thought about on the tube, or finished that never ending project.
Oh by the way, he also has a blog: http://albertocerriteno.blogspot.com/
Yours, loving Alberto Cerriteno(’s work)

EMBRAER as amazed me today with this website.. I never seen an airplane company goin so far on digital. They are really starting an era (at least I think). Other big companies will see this as an advantage and hopefully they will start spending a bit of money on digital advertising. A must see website
Have fun!!
Two 30 sec ads directed by Knife Party for Nexus Productions. They are for Save the Children by W+K. I dont know if they are new but they are very cool. The style and animation is amazing.
Have fun!!
Test cards are incredibly cool. If 45 degrees angled lines, or arrows used to be the old aviators and skinny jeans the test card is the new single speed fixed wheel track bike, that’s how cool it is.
Which leaves me wondering why every ‘shoreditch twat‘ are not wearing test card buttons? If you make a button with the test card on it I’m sure it will sell like illegal substances to art students.
Subsequently every piece of design that contain a test card is automatically really cool or ‘hawt’ which is cool-speech for cool. Which is why I really appreciated seeing it in the new music vidoe of Norwegian rocker Ida Maria.
Yours, not quite sure where I was going with this

One more for Lego® fans: the Japanese Design Store 25Togo has designed this beautiful piece of art: the Lego Lamp.
As you can read on their website, the acrylic block is composed by two pieces: the base (LED illuminated), and the top block, which can also be used as a stationary holder.
This brilliant lamp is available at the 25Togo online store and can be purchased for just ¥1600 (approx. £7.60).
A bit of news here for you all.
Catchy named advertising agency Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Parnters (DLKW) has retained the HALIFAX account, after a lot of back and forth over the last couple of months.
