BITS 'N BOBS

In my usual search for inspiration I've found these - A case of 'why didn't I think of that.


Wallets - cleverly disguised as everyday items.


Crayon rings




'Organic' Post-Its



Its called 'Storm chaser' - pretty cool me thinks. Simple, clever - and a sense of humor.
what more could you ask for?



Floppy Disc CD Holders


and this speaks for itself I think.





MOVIE TIME - Evil Under The Sun

I've always enjoyed Agatha Christie - and of all her stories that have been turned into movies; Evil Under the sun is by far my favorite. Maggie Smith is brilliant as are the rest of the cast. The location, casting and wardrobe are all perfectly in tune with the Cole Porter soundtrack. For an 80's movie - Its one to keep.

If you're not convinced - some visuals may help you decide.




Set on an exclusive holiday island...


... wealthy guests all have a motive for the murder...


...of a heartless diva.

The Golden Age of Advertising

I love pushing the envelope - going to extremes - and that is why I get so frustrated sometimes. There are so many restrictions placed on advertising and design. Firstly you have to stay within the confines of the CI manual (and the bigger the brand - the bigger the manual), then you have to sell it to the client. Months could go by in this period as elements get bounced back and forth - and after all that, you look down at your creation - on deadline - and you just wonder why anyone bothered.

So when I see this type of thing - I get re-inspired all over again.
















The Race is on

I've never been much of a car person, but lately...


Peugeot EXI




or our latest offering in the Bio-Diesel Eco-jet range perhaps


Something in gold you say


Audi is always reliable - in a design sense.




or the R-Zero



And if we can take things up a notch


Is it a shoe? - is it a plane? - No, It's the Audi Calamero

or if your driving aint THAT good we have the Audi Shark




Meanwhile in the BMW camp...


BMW's Gina - covered in silver stretch fabric - easy to change colours and machine-washable  :)


So you say you're going to TRON on your holiday

...and finally - the Maserati 'Birdcage'
