The Isle of Man is world famous for its high speed motorbike street racing of speeds of up to 200mph on closed roads, but did you also know that it is famous for having the worlds largest working water wheel? Pretty cool hey!
I created this logo for a new coffee and book shop based on the Isle of Man. I wanted the logo to be colourful and fun like the interior that we designed at Creative Buzz (which is based on an alice and wonderland type theme).
This is a business card that was created for Adele’s Ice Cream company. It is designed to be printed onto wafers, but is also printed onto standard card.

When it comes to product designing, Cecilie Manz is one of the best. Although lacking the reciognition from other high profile designers such asPatricia Urquiola or Hella Jongerius. Her work is top notch and her portfolio consists of many limited edition pieces like the seat made out of an intricate and elaborate folded sheets of paper. This art piece is called Lots of Paper with the entire structure based on a tessellated design. It can hold up to 66 pounds and takes approx. 2 days to complete.
This is a bit of an old video, but it is still rather good. Mother London, design company had a budget of $10k USD decision to instead of giving out a load of smaller gifts to a lot of people, they would make this holiday truly special for just one person. I just wish I had replied to this message!
I just saw an advert on the TV called ‘Escape the Map’ its for Mercedes. You are a driver that has to help a woman escape a map that is based on Google Maps, your mission is to leave before the lady’s face becomes blurred (like you find on the street view on Google). At the end of the film/animation/journey you enter your details and you get a phone call from the woman saying that she has escaped and that you might be able to win a car, it is a very good touch for the viewer and it is a really good way of advertising.

This is another short animation from Passion Pictures created by Dan Sumich, it is extremely well made and I love the effects that they use.

Whilst looking for inspiration today I found these post-it note drawings, they are rather unusual, but they are visually pleasing. You can find more images like the one below on this website
This is a video that I found whilst looking through vimeo today, its a good example of using shadows with typography.
