Noisy Decent Graphics

The app behind the films. It's very good. From Dentsu London and BERG. Download it here.

A terrible picture of me

Jesse has drawn me as part of his project to draw advertising and marketing people across the globe.

Even though it's absolutely terrible I'm really proud to be a part of the project. He did Dan Germain before me and he's doing Rory Sutherland next.

Just the sort of bollocks the internet was made for.

Danny MacAskill: Way Back Home

Amazing tricks, but also a stunningly beautiful video.

 

Some stuff for a Friday

The Sun have added some extra functionality to their iPad app. Page360.

As they say, "Page 360, a digital version of Page 3 giving you a 360-degree view of our beauties, on the move... make our model go full-screen and she'll pirouette to your command."

It's also World Toilet day. Or something. Domestos have done a thing where you can 'track your flush'. It's good. But what I really like is this little bit of design.

Telling you how many emails you will recieve, that's smart. And nice.

This site highligts extraordinary moments from Google StreetMap.

Actually, it's ordinary moments that look extra ordinary when singled out. Loads of prostitues and mooning and fights and stuff, but the ones of zoos are mental.

 

This is pretty old, but - the world's biggest crossword.

 

And lastly. Rainbow.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

DEXTR – A big screen Twitter client

We shipped a thing yesterday. Dextr, twitter for your second screen. Or maybe just massive Twitter. However you want to look at it is fine.

I love it. It's fab. Playing around with all these new screens is fun.

Tom has written about it in more depth over here.

I love this sofa

Perfect example of the designer enhancing existing behaviour.

The History of The Colour Wheel

Wonderful post about the history of the colour wheel. Via Jen.

 

Single Input Login Form

I think this is a good idea from Amrinder (read the full story here).

I spoke to Iain today and he thinks it's worth trying too.

So let's try it.

I'm going to try and persuade Engineering tomorrow. Wish me luck.

 

Advertising matters

This is a good post for a Friday.

A correspondent has sent this in. Brilliant, isn't it? Advertising matters. Oh Lord, I don't know where to start.

Much like Doddsy's famous blog you can read that different ways depending on the emphasis. There's the simple - advertising matters - and to lots of people it does. There's the rather old fashioned sounding - advertising matters. And then there's the factual - advertising matters. You know anti-matter, grey matter etc.

All that fun! And we haven't even started on the typography.

Have a great weekend.

 

Le Book

Next Thursday I'll be speaking at Le Book. Talking about Nike Grid with Adam from Nike. We're on at 10.30am and we'll be moderated by the legendary Ben Hammersly.

On the same bill is Paul from Anomoly and Cheryl from Converse too. Should be a good morning.

It's held at The Lindley Hall, Elverton Street, SW1.

Not that forward anymore

Don't forget this in two weeks time. Tickets etc here.

Spell check needed
