Impressive sand drawings
July 21st, 2011 · Luke · No Comments
Landscapes and in this case beaches are Jim Denevan’s canvases for his drawings. At low tide he spends hours creating these large scale temporary works of art, only to be washed away by the sea. Primarily based in California, Jim occasionally ventures into the Navada desert and creates illustrations similar to the famous Nazca Lines.

Cheap flights for 50p?

For anyone frustrated by the absurd claims made by certain airlines for cheap flights, this musical journey through the realities of booking the same, and experiencing the joys of it all, captures the mood brilliantly!

Neon Papercraft
July 19th, 2011 · Ash · No Comments
I couldn’t help but notice these retro electronics when I came accross them on another blog. The bright electronic devices have each been hand crafted out of neon paper, down from the body of the device to the smallest detail such as the lettering on the floppy disk or the loose tape inside the cassette. This must have taken a lot of time and patience. Having recently covered a lifesized donkey in lettering we can begin to empathise!

UNIQLO Tilt Shift Calendar
July 15th, 2011 · Luke · No Comments
The clothing brand UNIQLO is the leader in Japanese casual wear. I came across this well designed calendar site a while back and having revisited and seen that they have updated the movie clips in accordance with the seasons, I though it was worth blogging.
Using clips from hundreds of cities in Japan, they have cleverly applied the now popular tilt shift effect which gives the illusion that the buildings, boats, people, etc… are miniature models. The visuals are enhanced by the big block colour calendar on the right, which colour’s change to either compliment or contrast the movie clip on the right.
Visit UNIQLO’s site to see these moorish mini movies.

Donkeys hit the news, for the wrong reason
July 14th, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
The recent Guernsey Press article shows how the actions of a small minority have affected plans for displaying Guernsey’s Donkey Parade to a wider audience. Vandalism means that all outdoor sites are now sadly being reviewed to avoid further damage. Keep an eye open for details on changed locations.
