No strings attached fun?

I love looking through Gumtree to see what shit people put up there. Anything from jobs, selling furniture, tickets, pets, etc. In fact I found both my kitties and nearly a flat mate there.Today I was looking at their new redesigned site and noticed that they had a dating section. Curious, I scrolled through [...]

Breakfast at Café Maxim (thanks Dunhill!)

I absolutely LOVE the fact that tobacco companies are no longer allowed to advertise cigarettes. While that must probably suck for big ad agencies, it is fantastic for me and my friends (and I am sure a lot of other people!). Although I am not sure how the no-advertising has worked out in terms of [...]

I am an atheist (and Google can prove that God does not exist)

I like to think of myself as quite liberal and tolerant of a lot of things. I have many friends who do not share the same pigmentation as me (my best friend is in fact a beautiful mix of Sri Lankan and Lebanese and she is Catholic).
I am atheist. I do not believe in a [...]

What if modern advertisers invented the stop sign?

I found this video on www.septemberthird.com. It is a pretty funny video about a client giving a brief to an ad agency for the creation of a stop sign.

And then I found this picture that someone sent to the Road Safety Blog wrote about women drivers during Women’s Month (yes, that is now, August): Do [...]

Sex changes, transvestites, Isis and ANTM

And that’s not all. Isis, one of the models on the upcoming America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) (you know, [...]

I am Rich – iphone application

Like Facebook, Apple has opened the iphone to outside software developers. Apple earns 30% of all application sales, the developer 70%.
While people die of hunger all over Africa there are some idiots stupid enough to download an application that costs $999 for their iphone just to let people know they are rich.
No-utility!

A good nights sleep at last

My two cats (1 x black half siamese and 1 x ginger) have this annoying habit of whining outside my door when I sleep at night… It was really endearing at first but then it (obviousely) just got annoying. I have tried everything to keep them away even creating a barrier that I had to [...]

Secret Showcase – Rik Oostenbroek = amazing design

Rik Oostenbroek aka Nkeo is an amazing graphic designer born and bred in the Netherlands.  I came across his artwork yesterday and fell in love with it . It brings tears to my eyes, just like a really emotional song does. I am speechless. What makes his work even more exceptional is the fact that [...]

My new favourite website

I found this website yesterday and I can’t get enough of it. It really satisfies that design urge that I have (and my love of all things symmetrical).
It is called colourlovers.com and you get to choose and name colours, create colour palettes and then use those colour palettes and apply them to patterns.
It is really [...]
