sweet gifs

the animated gif. basicly a series of pictures ran through to form an animation. Overused in thee early days of the internet, they can now be used subtly and playfully to good effect. I really like the one above, keeping the focal point of the glow stick glasses but changing the face, gives a really good effect, echoing the new rave culture.

Benjamin Verdonck's Nest

Benjamin Verdonck has created a giant nest on the side of a building in rotterdam. I love surreal art placements like this, they break you from the normal monotony of real life and make you think. This one was very well executed as well, being able to go inside it is another level of cool.

Giant plushies in hong kong

Seen on the streets of hong kong. I love this type of street art, it takes the normal wall drawing and adds another dimension. finding things like this when walking down the street are fun and cool, especially if not linked with the corporate.

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.
