Its Friday, its my birthday weekend and now I am totally ready to escape my desk so I can go party with my friends.
Loving this Lo-fi version of True Romance by Citizens. Happiness indeed.
Have a lovely weekend!

Further to my many other posts about how much I am longing for summer how lovely and bright is this project from London-based &Smith for LUX* resorts. I am particularly smitten with the arcade inspired tickets.
Super delicious.

I think the persistent rain that has hit London over the past week has led me to sec the summer I have been dreaming of elsewhere. So I am sat here sniffling my way through a cup of tea whilst flicking through pictures of sun bleached beaches and moody skies.
The world is fascinating. People and cultures inspire us. Sadly, the fast paced lifestyles of our generation result in many not taking the necessary step back to soak in the existing world around us. Our goal with this film is to help viewers further appreciate and take notice of the beauty in life & culture that lies within our world…
…so the next time you notice something that strikes you as interesting, stop for a second, start powering on your camera, think about why it’s unique, and snap the shot before you miss it. Life is extraordinary. Embrace it.
Just happened across this video through twitter and was blown away by that opening shot. I think we should all take in the words above and start acting upon them. The world truly is fascinating. Holi is one of those occasions that makes me just want to jump on a plane and experience all the colours and excitement in person. Beautiful.

I was just reading the Creative Review newsletter over lunch when I came across the new campaign by DDB New York for Hertz and just gave a little woop of joy. Harking back to the golden age of travel CR rightly point out that they look like they have come straight out of the Edward McKnight Kauffer collection. The usually brash Hertz yellow doesn’t even make me want to cry, instead it just accentuates the feel of the whole thing. I love.
Having a late afternoon browse over the ever popular blog Jak and Jil bever fails to provide a whole bag of visual delights. Like many, come fashion week its less what is on the runway that pricks my attention but what the attendees are wearing.
Just before I head off to bed I wanted to share these film posters that I starred in my google reader months ago and then just found again. Akiko Stehrenhberger has a wonderful eye for creating some visually impactful posters.
When I was at Uni I once got up infront of the class and did a whole speech about how I wished to be a movie poster designer when I was older. My tutors scoffed and my friends chuckled but looking at these it certainly makes me realise where that love I had came from.
Check out the rest of his portfolio here. Some amazing illustration too.
I think we should all take a moment to just show a little love for the Golden Memories Project from Cecy Young. I attempted a similar project at uni for an editorial project and failed to even come close to getting the punch and gloss of these images.
Check out her site for other great shoots.
I’m doing a Nike Training Club session on Saturday in Victoria Park. As it currently stands it’s forecast to be below 0°c and the possibility of snow. I also haven’t been to the gym all week so am pretty much freaking out. On the plus side I am hoping this will be the new cheap (FREE) alternative to going to the gym. I will fit in an hour of training on a Saturday and still have the rest of the weekend to potter around. 2012 has been set as the year I up my game when it comes to personal fitness.
So with that said I think I will most certainly be needing to wear thermals and gloves and most of all will be thinking of this video. I hope I get special pyrotechnics as I jog along.
I still can’t recall if I have mentioned Designers.mx before on here but regardless it has been powering me through many an afternoon recently. Fancy rooting through a massive archive of music made by a heap of designers? Yes of course you do because not only do you get tons of tunes in your ears, you also get the added bonus of beautiful artwork too.
Go check it out. Find your favourites and maybe make a mix or two yourself.
