brains dancing



another fun advert, its all about puppetry. Another advert pushing the comedic edge.

packaging design...



really clever idea promoting hand washing to save trees. The trees on the print will fade if hot washed, but remain if hand washed. Cleverly illustrating the point.

Jake blanchard...



another brighton graduate this year, jake blanchard has a simple yet complicated, exciting visual style. Ive always been a fan of group images that are linked by the same style. I could easily see this on a tshirt.

verity keniger...



verity keniger is just graduating from brighton uni. I love this style, execellent typography with a messy style that fits together perfectly. Theres no illustration as such, just powerful composition.

Amelia Roberts - global warming...




A pair of photography based pieces of design, commenting on chinas carbon emissions and americas involvement in the problem. It gets the point across clearly and concisely while maintaining a quirky look. When looked at side by side it delievers a powerful messege.

Muto wall animation


MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Incredible video by blu. It must of took so long to animate the whole thing, it just keeps going and going. The out of the box thinking of combining animation with street art is really good. Its one of those simple ideas that you'd wish you'd thought of. Its executed really well. The soundtrack matches the animation and adds a certain something that makes it even more cool. I think the ending could of been improved, possibly building up to something really dramatic that pulls out all the stops. The interaction with the environment around was cool as well, and added a better sense of connection with the world.

Matrix ping pong...



black suits make this game of ping pong game really funny. Its a clever lo-fi way of getting a point across. Theres a lot of adverts out there that use the comedy edge to sell, and i think these work the best. They get discussed by everyone a lot more than a strictly cool or flashy video would.
