I'm no photographer but I love this picture I took of Ella body surfing I really like the effect of the background almost like a layered cake, water, wash, water, washout

Interactive on the street

Came across this idea from a guy called Chris O'shea such a lovely idea, really simple but truly interactive, look at those everyday people interacting - how many times do you see creative work that agencies say is 'interactive' and in reality no one has the time or for that matter gives a toss?

This is different, simple and interactive and more importantly doesn't take itself too seriously, nice work fella.

The art of copy writing isn't dead

I was sent this ad by one of the creative's at Bullseye Digital I thought the art direction was wonderful and as an art director I can't help myself, I look at the art direction and how it is layed out or how the image was cropped, style of illustration etc. I usually read the main headline and then decide if I like or dislike the ad. This ad was different, in that I did something much more and to many people was a dying art; I read the copy, all of it, every last word of it. As you can mostly tell from reading this blog I'm no master when it comes to writing copy but when I read something that tells a story and takes me on that journey I say thank you even if I feel slightly depressed from reading ads like this that I didn't try harder at school.
