Diesel, the well known Jeans manufacturer has dived into 2010 with a new message for its admirers and onlookers. Be Stupid.
Campaigns like this always intrigue me. Is it a little stroke of creative genius that gets bods like me talking about it, or is it… well… just stupid?
For me, I like things that capture my [...]
Turquoise.
Although the gang in the studio will know it as Pantone 15-5519. Turquoise is a slightly greenish shade of Cyan and is based on the gem of the same name. The name itself originates from the French for Turkish.
Pantone say that
“Turquoise inspires thoughts of soothing tropical water and a comforting escape from the everyday [...]
It’s very common for a creative brief to contain a footnote from the client that stipulates something along the lines of, “Oh, and can we do something original?”
On the face of it, this isn’t an unreasonable request. Here at The Escape, originality is always one of our principal aims. The notion is simple, to develop [...]
ATD = Attention to detail.
Myself and the breadknife took our kids to Eurodisney earlier this year and unsurprisingly when you have a 2 year old and a 5 year old, we had a fantastic time (it was for them… honest!!!).

As a designer, trying to get a message across in it’s simplest & most minimal form is always the tough task. However when [...]

That’s what I have been lucky enough to get a sense of this week, based on the poster design workshops that myself and Lisa have been running on behalf of Hampshire County Council.
Junior Road Safety Officers… or JRSOs to their friends, is a new [...]
Adobe’s ubiquitous Photoshop photo-editing tool has long been the choice of professional graphic designers and picture editors. Its power and sophistication has never really been matched although I wouldn’t deny there are some very competent (and cheaper) alternatives available.
One website, worth1000.com, is a community of talented Photoshop users who regularly respond to ‘contests’ on a [...]
On Friday we saw Sir Alex Ferguson sign Michael Owen on a 3 year contract with a salary based on appearances and results on the pitch. In the media it’s dividing opinion considerably. It’s either a crazy step backward for Man Utd after selling Ronaldo for 80 million, or a stroke of genius that could [...]
Is iPhone art, mobile art, finger art (call it what you like) establishing itself as a genre in its own right?
That would seem to be the case with an increasing number of artists springing up all over the place using the Apple iPhone as their ‘electronic’ canvas.
