A really charming and well produced short about working as a Projectionist lovingly created by a man who thoroughly loves his job working at London’s Screen on the Green.

I saw the new BBC trailer for Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic today and it’s really well shot. I’d love to produce something like this to promote my yetis.

Definitely a ‘why didn’t I think of that’ type idea.

Visual crack for the ocular fiend – Yimmys Yayo™. A good dose of visual flim flam including some classic and inspiring Monster Movie destruction. Be careful though, some of the content is NSFW.

A little late to be talking about Christmas I know, but hold back the lectures for a second. There’s a good round up of seasonal gifts and mailers on Creative Review including the Christmas by Colour cards from RAW design in Manchester which featured my very own Christmas colour submission, Bucks Fizz as well as a creative Fedrigoni desktop calendar which I hope to get my hands on for the New Year.

I still absolutely adore the work of ISO50. I just spotted an interesting interview with ISO50 over at grain edit.

If you want to get my attention make sure its well printed and send me it in the post. Some of the mailers that arrived on my door matt today are prime examples.

First off a nice little mailer from every designers favourite paper manufacturer GF Smith. I’m always impressed with GF Smith’s simple but attention grabbing mailers like this one, fluro screenprinted on thick brushed steel like stock.

The second example is for House of Propellers gallery in London. A cosy little gallery space directly below the offices of Represent. They’ve got provocative exhibition on at the moment by Clare Shilland. The mailer is foil blocked in gold on some nice thick 300gsm board.

It doesn’t take much but I’m a sucker or anything well printed and finished.

This months copy Wired drop through my letter box recently. The design team at Wired UK have done a sterling job in this months issue, with some beautiful spreads and some nice finishing on the cover with silver foil blocking – not that they don’t do an amazing job of the design every other month.

The p hotograph was snapped with my new favourite app on the iPhone, QuadCamera. Effectively a Lomo camera (one that takes a number of shots all on the same print) but on the connivence of a mobile phone and I’m gonna say it does a grand job too. With plenty of options dictating how many shots are taking and what effects are used (though it looks like there’s a vignette on ever photograph which is taking) it’s an app I’d highly recommend. I’m sure you’ll see plenty of images on here taken using QuadCamera in the future. It’s also worth mentioning the people behind QuadCamera have an online app called QuadAnimator which takes photo’s you’ve taken with the app and then pieces them together to create an animation.

I took the time out to visit Anthony Burrill’s latest exhibition last night at Kemistry gallery. ‘In a New Places’ the title of the exhibition was very fitting, with the work on show moving away from previous iconic typographic pieces that have become synonymous with Burrill’s brand of prints. The bold lines, flat colours and simple geometric shapes are all still present, but there’s clearly a focus on illustration taking influence from nature. The show also showed Burrill’s experimentation with with laser cut perspex in the form of some beautiful wall mounted sculptures.

All in the all the private view was pretty packed, as always at Kemistry, with a small collection card reproductions of prints in the show, being given away (I’m sure I’ll post them later on in the week) along side small postcard books that showed off more of Burril’s work that most of his patrons would be familiar with. There’s also a really bold mural on the wall outside Kemistry, so make sure you don’t miss it.

Wallpaper* magazine were also there last night and have put together a small critique of the site along side production shots of the show as it was hung yesterday. The show runs until and check out the Kemistry website for more information and opening times.

Really satisfying spreads from PaperObject using a mix of flat graphic work and origami paper bjects to enhance the shapes and patterns they form to great effect.
