The photographic work of David Ryle caught my attention today.
It should be said that although Audi cars appeal to me greatly (admittedly, I am more of a motorbike enthusiast), this had nothing to do with why I appreciate Mr.Ryle's work. His landscape work, for example, is rather pleasing to say the least, but of course, I chose to show the obvious. Anyway, goes without saying that it's well worth popping over to his site and exploring further.

Anyway, on closer inspection I realise the creative curation was brought about by Swedish design group From Us With Love, who have been involved in a number of other rather interesting projects, which needless to say are very much worth delving into.

5 vs Five vs FIVE vs Channel 5

2011-01-22T18:05:00.016Z

The last few years have provided us with a wealth of controversial, not to mention rather ugly identity refreshes, and the latest to report is the new Channel 5 identity (above image: bottom right). Yes, it's a bit of a shocker.

It seemed liked no time at all when we first saw Dixon Baxi's more than respectable effort compared to the last iteration. But of course that's to be expected in today's fast moving market; brands need to constantly evolve to reflect their current position and remain competitive. But you'd think that when some these big brands invest so much in all their other brand and marketing assets, they would at least consider the aesthetic a little more than they do. Perhaps there's an argument that the aesthetic achieves little more than vanity in the marketing world. To some extent that may even be true, but regardless shouldn't everything evolve to a better state?

Anyway, if you care to look back, here's a little Channel 5 brand history.

Smile for London: Launch

2011-01-14T09:31:00.008Z

Winner: Amy Thornley

I managed to get out last night to attend the launch of Smile for London at the Museum of London where by Amy Thornley was announced as overall winner for her piece, 'Spreadsheet Invasion'. 'Smile for London' is an initiative conceptualised by the lovely Jo Kotas & Alex Stevens of the Meme Partnership, and it's aim, to simply brighten the London underground commute with creative motion work.
A good idea for sure, giving good exposure for those involved, inspiring and bringing good creative work to a wider audience, changing moods & perceptions, and hopefully putting smiles on people's faces, and what could be better than that?!
Above are just a few of the entries that I liked, but you can see all the entries here or if you indeed use the London Underground, you can see them from the 17th -28th January. Interesting to note that all the pieces have to, work without sound, which for motion work is normally an integral part. Anyway, enjoy!
