A Mad Tea Party

Beer Goggles –

This is a must see. It’s brilliant advertising and quite a strong warning message in itself.

It’s not a particularly new concept, but it’s definitely something that’s thought provoking. Especially if you think about what they’re really trying to say.

Here are some of the smirnoff ads that were pretty awesome.

Discipline is they key, someone very cool once said to me.

I decided to take a step every day towards the setting up of my online presence. It’s a good way to get new work, showcase your own and have people comment (criticize or brutally rip apart) on your work so you can improve.

I’ve update my portfolio page. A lot of styling still needs to be done, but at least some of my work can now be seen online.

I’m still working on re-styling this site.
Instead of creating my own theme from scratch, I’ve decided to just modify this theme to suit my site since it has almost everything I need.

For the moment, I leave you with something extremely interesting to read: The History of the World.
Here’s an except from the article:

Without the Greeks we wouldn’t have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns. . .Corinthian, Doric, and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a feminine moth. One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intollerable.

He would be ‘intollerable’ having being dipped in the river ‘Stynx’ wouldn’t he?
It’s definitely worth a read. The credit for this find goes to Timka. (Thanks)

Desktopography :

At their best, desktop wallpapers bring animation to often lifeless computer screens, reflecting the personality of the user and acting as a calling card for creative talent. The desktopography project arrived in 2005 as a place to download nature / topological themed wallpapers with edits from selected designers. Designers spend about 90% of their waking life in front of a computer so the most appealing genre for a wallpaper would be one that has beautiful design mixed with the all important aspect of being outdoors.

Ever since its conception, Desktopography has been a non-profit, fun project and we would encourage you to share this site with family, friends and people you know, there is something here for everyone not just designers. Most of the wallpapers here can be downloaded in a variety of sizes

For the designer, creating wallpapers is a great way to perfect your craft and create images specifically for different environments from desktops and laptops to mobile phones and MP3 players. What we see everyday can affect our mood and state of mind, enhance your desktop with a wallpaper creation from desktopography and feel the essence of nature and the outdoor existence on your computer. Bring tranquility to your desktop, feel the wilderness and give your background a breath of fresh air..

Need I say more?

Here are some of my favourite wallpapers from 2008. (To download the wallpapers, you’ll have to goto Desktopography and get it from there.)

Please visit the site and check out all the wallpapers they have.
Kudos to the creative minds that did all this awesome work. It really is amazing.

I’d like to credit ‘YoutheDesigner‘ for helping me find the original website.

Cheers!

After having seen something that inspired me on Depthcore, I tried to do this.

Crits and comments are welcome. This is still work in progress, but untill I can get some good feedback from people I don’t plan on working on this project any further.

Well, I had done a car ad for someone a couple of moths ago; here is the final piece I sent across…
(Well there were minor modifications to the bar on the top in this one, too lazy to locate and upload the final-final, but you get the idea! )

And here’s another option I had done, apart from the first one…

Crits and Comments are welcome, as always!
