You can't throw a camera...

...but you can throw a ball. Amazing panoramic shots from where you stand.
Only trouble is you have to carry a camera around that's the size of The sun!




D&AD President's Lecture...

Inferno asked me to typed up some notes from Rosie Arnold's first Presidential lecture as the Creative head at D&AD, which you can find over on their blog here

This time round it was Jaime Perlman with her thoughts as an Art Director at British Vogue and a sneak preview into her decisions for the re-design of the British Vogue January 2012 edition.




Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs...

So here's my design for the competition TEED are running (my Sunday morning in the office)...

Any thoughts? (Click img for detail).




Shoot a Footballer...

A few weeks ago I was asked to get some football shots, some a little unusual, some a bit more traditional. In the run up to the weekend, I thought, sod spending my time searching stock libraries, it would be WAYYYY more fun to go shoot some stuff, so I grabbed my housemate (like-minded creative-type), a camera, a football kit and headed down to the Common to grab some snaps. Here's a sample of the pre-prod shots...












Brutal Simplicity of Thought.

I'm a big fan of quotes, and well this isn't one, technically.
I'm sure it derived from a quote somewhere along the line, but I came across by way of my boss, paraphrasing.


A man once asked an old Indian man:
How do you turn everyday blocks of wood into such beautiful and intricate sculptures of elephants? 

His reply was simple:
I remove everything that doesn't look like an Elephant.



Kew-l.

Excuse, the cringe-worthy title.

Here's some photos from the weekend and my trip with the lady to Kew Gardens. I know what you're thinking, green, plants, flowers ...boring. Well, this place was magical when I was a kid, and yes, I didn't exactly pick the best time of year to go, but the last time I visited I couldn't have been much older than 8 years old. Now being 25, I was genuinely excited to go back. I was looking forward to one thing in particular though... The giant Victorian greenhouses, and the fact that you can still head up to the upper levels... they certainly did not disappoint. A friendly little Robin even swooped-by, almost landing on my hand, and hopped around us curiously, so thank you Mr. Robin.
