It was a matter of time really. Still, a nice implementation.

I’m still loving this from Dentsu London. Looks like they used Cinema 4D to generate the 3D. Slightly tragic that I recognise the interface.

It’s one of those, I wish i’d done this things…

I know, i’ll hire a skip for that skip.

Spotted this on my way back from the shops. Literally the best thing I could ever think of putting in a skip.

Stumbled across this on Pentagram’s site. LCC (my former uni) student Paul Jenkins has put together a rather nice collection in honour of Nike’s birthday. They were founded in 1978 so Jenkins got 78 pairs of Nike trainers and sent them out to designers and illustrators and got some great stuff back. An exhibition is planned as part of the London Design Festival this autumn.

I just adore this take on Nike ‘Airs’ by Justus Oehler of Pentagram.

Coffee tasting

So those of you that know me will be aware of my rise from non-coffee drinking of any kind of massive caffeine head. I am now stepping into the realms of a dangerous obsession with coffee.

Last night I was utterly nailed after a coffee tasting sessions at Tapped and Packed on Rathbone Place, or No’26 as Jess and I like to call it.

We both went along for the summer menu coffee tasting thingy to try out 8 different coffees and be guinea pigs for their forthcoming summer menu. We tried coffees mostly from south america including places like Guatamala, Costa Rica (My favourite) and Brazil as well an a rather woody ethiopian variety. Basically I was buzzing to hell afterwards. I ran around the agency. It was great.

Check out the pics. I heartly recommend T&P. They really know their shit. They are coffee geeks of the highest order. GO GO GO.

Without doubt, my favourite blog at the moment is http://peopleiseeonthestreet.com It is immensely good. The writing is witty, the observational photography excellent and the ever sarcastic undertone superb.

Imagine a social worker writing for heat magazine with the cut of the commentator from come dine with me.

I can’t recommend enough that you check it out.

“What joy. The northern line never fails to deliver especially when it comes to man packages. Totally loving the eccentric tweed look that this gentleman is rocking. As for the jaunty cap action – IMMENSE.”

Hmmmm. So you need a typeface?
