Pierre and Damien of Plmd and Stef Van Campenhoudt (who drives a bit like Kirsty) have collaborated to cut a spanking new font, with a car. Basically the cars movements have been tracked using some clever software by interactive guru Zachary Lieberman and the results are gorgeous.
Part sustainable water company, part art project, part philanthropic project, and not that new. Boxed Water Is Better they say, is it really? What with it being the fashion to be ‘going all green’ these days, so it was with a healthy dose of scepticism when I came across water in a Tetrapak pack… The …
Kirsty bought me Geometric, for being good last week. It’s gorgeous and I keep sniffing the fresh print and smiling. Printed on heavy matte stock, it features an embossed cover that’s wrapped in an American-style poster and bound with a distinctive rhythm technique. The colourful and monochrome patterns are enough to get any designer dribbling …
Fridge magnets are normally a bit crap and the kind of thing your well meaning granny might give you after visiting someplace you never actually wanted to go to. And no, it’s not that now over done rubbish fridge poetry, where you can put together rude sentences but when you read them back it makes …
Spotted on Shirtluv.com, the Fuck The Rain umbrella is a thing of genius. It’s simple fun and more importantly it made us laugh on a crappy Monday morning. The Designers are Artemy Lebedev, Anton Schnaider and the umbrella features a cool carabiner handle so that you can clip it to things like your backpack or …
Those tip top Landscape architects Anouk Vogel and cooler than polar bears architect Johan Selbing have just won a high profile competition to design the new lighting and furniture for the Vondelpark in Amsterdam.

There are so many traditional advertising agencies out there in trouble and they’re all blaming the recession. However, yes times are difficult but this is a lame duck excuse. These mainly ‘traditional’ agencies totally missed the online video trend and social media is still frightening them. They keep banging on about the fragmented media landscape, …
We are loving Spotify here at Brighenup Towers. It’s all the craze down here in Brighton and I am convinced in other towns in Europe. It is a new music streaming service. You don’t download illegal music from it, you just choose what you want to listen to and then it streams a whole album …
New York has a history of reactive ‘ad-jacking’, from the legendry Ron English to the likes of Violator of the Regime. However there is a new kid on the block, simply calling himself as ‘Poster Boy’. His on the spot improvised mash-ups reminds me of the cut-and-paste aesthetic of the 70’s punk era.
Of course, defacing …
Lucky for us living and working in around wonderful Brighton, we have loads of great talks and get togethers from geeks to designers, social softies and just about everything inbetween. The next great opportunity is to hear some ‘experts’ speak about SM (social media not sadomasochistic) and how it is going to influence our lives …
