Yesterday (13th March 2010) a line of light was created along the remains of Hadrians Wall to mark the 1600th anniversary of Roman rule in Britain. 500 lights were placed 250m apart along the 135km long path of Hadrians wall. Although I didn’t go to see the event I had thought it quite a magical idea really. A great way to promote tourism for British Tourism Week.
Gravenhurst have interested me for quite some time now and this particular video has quite an interesting story behind it. Each frame of the videos animation has been made into a one off album cover screen print. A really great idea and a very nice way to literally incorporate the album artwork with the tracks meaning and story.
The director of this video Thomas Hicks has worked with Gravenhurst over the past few years on some great projects. Check out some more of his videos here.

I started reading this book back in July whilst on holiday and I absolutely loved it. If you’re a fan of i-D magazine then you’ll definitely love this book, the idea is simple as stated on the first page: “300 of i-D’s best loved international contributors and collaborators share their ideas and thoughts on contemporary values”. The book has six chapters or theme’s to which the i-D contributors seem to have been asked to respond in a way they deem appropriate. So the book is full of photo’s, quotes, short statements, poems and stories from an array of people from all over the world. As is to be expected most of the contributors are involved in creative industries and fashion in some form or another and I’ve found it incredibly interesting to read through their thoughts and ideas concerning important modern social questions. As an idea for a book it is brilliant. Go buy it! http://www.taschen.com
I’m really liking the sound of these guys from New York. I also think the above video’s a fun simple idea which works really well too. http://www.myspace.com/thedrumsforever
When I saw this ad on TV I thought it was absolutely brilliant, a gorgeous piece of filming and an excellent idea for a perfume advert. It wasn’t until I googled it that I realised it was created by Chris Cunnigham, makes sense really!
Take a look at the Wales based artist’s ‘light graffiti’. Apparantly he never uses photoshop and all these photographs are made using only long exposures and a torch!?! Theres somre really impressive pieces in his portfolio. Visit his website here: http://www.michaelbosanko.com/, or read about his work in the daily mail here.
This is a 'Design blog', well kind of! I use the term loosely as not all the posts are design related, apart from being posted by me, a designer! Some posts are my work but most will be work by others discovered by endless searching of the web. Anyway hopefully you will find a feast of visualy exciting links and posts here.
