pantone masterpiece...



tim fraser brown has created this "manetone" Édouard Manet’s, ‘Bar at the Folies Bergere’ out of old pantone chips. Anything built up of lots of small components in a suprising way i love, i think it brings another level of coolness to the whole thing. its framed as if in a gallery also, adding to the effect, everything is considered.

get a dog



get a dog by Siggi Eggertsson. These are sold on the site ifyoucould.co.uk as limited edition screenprints. I love the limited colour pallet and the dog thats made up of the small trianglar shapes. I like anything that breaks down into the smallest possible building blocks and starts from there. It gives the piece a sense of unity about it.

giraffes united...



Another funny Tshirt design from threadless. I love lighthearted design like this parodying more serious causes. At first glance you could think it was a serious message. This design shows how even with simple design/icons you still can be witty.

more reasons not to go camping...



really cool illustration by dan grzeca, "more reasons not to go camping". shows how with a limited pallete you can still create really striking images. Its got a sense of fun to it and a strong visual style that holds the whole thing together. Critically i find it slightly ambiguous in areas and the composition could be better.

revamping graphic equalizer...


Revamped Graphic Equalizer from Marcelo Costa on Vimeo.

fun video piece from marcelo costa. Taking something we see a lot of, and displaying it in a fun new way. I think he could of chosen a lot better song for it, and some parts of it where slightly sketchy, but the concept is very cool, must of took him a lot of time to make as well.
