Thoughtful Ballet Poster



This is such a great little poster, simple clever and eye catching. Would have been cool to see maybe a few more layers so it doesn't diminish quite so quickly. Although maybe that would have made it to complicated!

Kate Moss is Golden



This 50kg, £1.5 million gold statue of Kate Moss was recently unveiled at the British Museum in London. The statue, entitled 'Siren', is by artist Marc Quinn and is said to be the largest gold statue created since Ancient Egyptian times. The gold statue is of the supermodel in a yoga pose and joins a series of contemporary sculptures in the exhibition, called Statuephilia, with the works intermingling amid pieces from the museum's permanent collections.

Perhaps most interestingly it has been described by the British Museum as an "Aphrodite of our times", Moss' statue sits alongside sculptures of famous Greek beauties in the Museum's Nereid Gallery. An interesting concept that a drug and alcoholic addicted frightfully skinny supermodel, however pretty she may be has been immortalised a modern gold goddess statue.

Illustrator 88

After my recent rant about Adobe releasing CS4 only 2 months after I finally got CS3, my teacher at UF told me that he used to use Illustrator 88, so I had a look on YouTube and found this.


Its hard to believe how far we've come n such a short time. Now we live in age where we get frustrated if it takes more than 3 seconds for a website to load I cant imagine not having this high tech software, however I having witnessed the progression from Illustrator 88 to now it makes me appreciate it a little more.

Ikea Advertising






Ikea take their products to the street in different cities to show how a few simple items can brighten up a space!

Shipping Container Houses




In July 2007, three Americans formed PFNC Global Communities -- PFNC stands for "Por Fin, Nuestra Casa," which roughly translates as "Finally, our own home." The company makes the homes you see above out of inexpensive, readily available, shipping containers. Their goal is to provide affordable housing for some of the poorest in Cuidad Juarez, Mexico. These poor now live in houses made of scraps of paper and tin. PFNC wants factories who employ these people to offer homes as part of workers' benefits. What a great Idea, at the state of our housing market right now, we could probably do with a few over here to house all the people whose real houses have been repossessed.

Plant Drip



I bought a plant for my room nearly two weeks ago and haven't watered it once yet. I clearly need this! I guess it would also be practical for plant lovers who go on holiday, no need to give the neighbours a Key anymore! Maybe this idea could be used to feed your pets aswell?
