Avengers Assemble

So, I saw the new 'Avengers Assemble' movie yesterday, which was FUCKING EPIC! and just when I didn't think it could get any better, I found these online... After reading they were priced at $600 for the lot, I was deeply upset. After some serious research online I found that there are a dozen ebay sellers parting with original copies for just under $50 a pop!  Definitely buying... possibly all of them. The hardest part now is deciding which one to get. If I were to be an Avenger, i'd probably be Thor... mainly cos of the hair and not the extraordinary amount of muscular tonage.

So i did some modeling...

Yeah so I was asked to do some modeling for an MA Fashion student at Kingston.  Never done anything like it before. It was pretty jokes.  I dunno if I should do it again, but she asked me to do it again... for money... so I probably will...

Tea break Challenge

The first day of many at Kingston Graphics. Spent the day meeting our tutors and getting to know our 88 strong group. We were instructed to play games involving meeting new people with opposite tastes to you, filling a booklet with phone numbers and choosing an ice-cream flavour that reflects us. On our break we were sent to have tea with 3 people you have only just met and take a photo. So here's me with 5 people minus the tea, which has been replaced with awkward hands in our laps.

Sistine Chapel - now Online

Found this while checking the Vatican Website. A 360 degree image of the Sistine Chapel! It's pretty detailed too, you can zoom right in and find some cool shit you couldn't see before. I went once, and it was a little overwhelming, then a little under. But all in all i think it was actually great. But its all the way in Rome? Not anymore... now you can go everyday!

 

Logorama

Logorama is a 16-minute long French animated film written and directed by François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy and Ludovic Houplain. The film depicts events in a stylized Los Angeles, and is told entirely through the use of more than 2,500 contemporary and historical logos and mascots. The film won the Prix Kodak at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the Academy Awards. Oh and its pretty darn rootin' tootin'.

Back to the Future: Part 2

Hopefully you'll remember the awesomeness Now, I wasnt around in the 50's when Velcro was invented but that was designed to make putting shoes on easier right? Well back in 1989 Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale prophesied a world where shoes no longer needed to be done up and lights on shoes also came in adult sizes.  Well 4 years ahead of schedule, Nike have decided to make 1,500 of these very shoes. They come equipped with the Back to the Future patented 'power-laces' and several different colored lights. So as long as you can pull these off, let alone afford them, I will forever worship you as some of the most bawler shit around.

EasyWalker

Would somebody please explain this to me.. i just don't understand. Directed by David Lewandowski, an a computer animator who has worked on the likes of tron, his latest video is madness, but I kinda like it. Very curious to know how and why but I guess I'm never going to know...

Big Ideas Are Small

There is a Barcode revolution happening people. The Japanese company 'D-Barcode' has taken it upon themselves to make barocdes a fun and enjoyable for all.  For some reason I had never questioned barcodes. I thought they were this thing that had to remain uncreased and untouched in order to be read by the magical infrared light wielded by seemingly untrained but somewhat mystical people. Now they just look jokes!

A French Magazine for Him

I'm not too sure why I even posted this let alone how I found it, but here is the cover of the french adult entertainment magazine 'Lui' from the 60's. Sex has been selling quite well ever since it was first tried, but can it be an accredited means of design? It does seem a rather easy job to find someone who looks hot, take off their clothes off and take photos of them so you can hand them out to the public. If it didn't work then so well it would probably be a crime or outdated method of arousal. So if this really is an example of good advertising/graphic design then the grounds for it being so are not as well-rounded as it would appear...

PIXELATOR

I don't tend to watch much television, mainly because once you start it is hard to stop. Its warming glow draws you into a state of self aware-d mindlessness.  I noticed recently that if there happeneds to be one on in a pub, say, my eyes would tend to glare at it, even mid conversation, despite having little to no interest in the program viewed.

This Pixelator device highlights the uselessness of television into simply light and colour moving mysteriously over the screen.  i.e the effect of the television is the same with it on or not, and to be honest i think i prefer it on.
