Ive seen this before some time back, but have decided to post as its one of my favs. Having done some work recently for Amnesty International, I know how tricky these campaigns can be, so my hat goes off to Publicis Mojo for this clever placement.

Something really nice about the simplicity of Barry Underwoods photographs. Ive seen a lot of art that fuses nature and modernity in similar ways, but its usually really overdone. There is a nice subtlety to Barrys work that almost makes you believe that these man made objects are actually part of the naturally formed environment.

Where were these when I was a youngster? What an absolutely brilliant concept. A cot that you can draw headlights onto the front of, and hey – you have an imagary car that you can race around the house. If I had one of these babies, I definitely wouldn’t have launched myself out of my cot when I was 3 and would have avoided a very painful broken arm.

Im always a sucker for typography integrated into 3d environments, especially when its executed with this much style.

Lovely little ice-cream brand designed by Elementville. Has a really humility and authenticity about it. Definitely a brand I would engage with and trust!
