Wood for the Trees

While PSCS3 is a considerable leap ahead from previous versions it still cannot do everything. This is one example. Photomerge can only get you so far and the result looking at the separate photos jigsawed in real life, with tones and colour varying, beat the automated process hands down (and the fact that 69 images is just too much for it, especially if they are all A3).

Colour of Music

It can be denied no longer. I buy music by colour (or the lack of it).

Underground posters

It looks like the complete history of London Underground posters are now online and can be bought for pocket money from their online store. A great source of inspiration and historical development of poster design.

Typeface - Beach

And another. This time by Hijack your Life.

Typeface - Soldiers

Brilliantly done by Oliver Munday.

There once was a farmer

A lovely idea with brilliant execution. Some more here.

Impressions on my recent trip to Denmark will follow soon.

Foot Heaven

These are brilliant. I just had to buy some. They've got a special offer on right now too making it even cheaper to look great. The String Republic.

Graphs & Diagrams

I've recently been taking an unhealthy interest in graphs. This book popped into the office via the States and has some real gems. More photos on my Flikr.

Cut&Paste [updated]

“Casual” hardly begins to explain the laid-back nature of the Cut&Paste preliminary round that took place on Sunday in a bar in Shoreditch. That said, it was more stressful for me than I imagined possible. I wasn't that happy with my effort really, feeing that my right hand wasn't mine and my drawing was atrocious. Results are posted in a couple of days announcing the successful 8 who go through to the next, and final round on October 20th (tickets/live webcast details tbc).

[UPDATE: I didn't get through :( Better luck next year mate.]
