Google are famous for their April Fools pranks but this year saw on of the largest to date with the introduction of Google Maps Quest mode for the NES. This ‘8bit version’ takes it’s inspiration from the computer games of yesteryear. Cities become castles and the landscape is littered with hidden monsters and landmarks. I did a little monster hunting yesterday and managed to find a few, including the obvious ones like Nessie.

BW’s Homemade Secret Santa
December 29th, 2011 · Chris · No Comments
As a slight twist to the annual Secret Santa pre-Christmas celebrations, we decided to show some skills at making our own ‘secret’ presents. Santa’s Big Handout revealed some truly sparkling talents outside of the work arena – gifts included a beautifully crafted wooden Christmas tree decoration (seen in use and adorning our family tree), special ‘Apple’ logo biscuits (for a notoriously anti-Apple brand colleague), a splendidly knitted scarf, an original Christmas tree framed illustration, 2 beautiful/festive candles, an entire tribute website (themed to reflect the receiver’s passion for a niche subject matter), some AMAZING chocolate truffles, complete with outstanding packaging/photography, homemade limoncello and a booze-filled Snowman piñata. Brilliant!

The Single Lane Super Highway
December 14th, 2011 · Ric · No Comments
The Single Lane Super Highway is one of the most fun and creative websites I have seen in a while. Every car on the site has been drawn by a visitor and they drive by in a never ending parade. Drawing is simple and quick and it cleverly animates your wheels for you. Look out for a tank and the man swimming from the shark which I drew, Luke’s square wheeled caveman car and his man chasing a football! Go get drawing!

Ambush Marketing

This poster was spotted recently in a Cambridge bus shelter. It’s either a bit of cheeky graffiti or a brilliant ambush marketing tactic by those gurus at the NHS promoting the recent Breastfeeding Awareness Week.
