Oli & Alex

So I just found Oli & Alex, a British advertising team? I'm not sure they can really be labelled... They have a bunch of advertising campaigns gone viral and personal projects, and all of them are awesome and most of them are hilarious.

Here's a smattering:

Hunger Magazine Shoot: a fake ad for a dessert pastry

Nike ads:

Project Bush:

Mills & Boon romance novel portraits:

Facebook fuckery:

...these guys are great. I have no creativity.

Brazilian graffiti birds be the best

Glorious graffiti birds:

The best.

Particlesss

Pretty pretty particlesss!

Perfomance video made for LMT20 show, originaly for piano megastar Vestard Shimkus.

Men's Health redesign

Men's Health did a redesign a couple months ago...looks pretty sweet. I like that they didn't throw out the nameplate completely--just a facelift.

All in all, the new look is nice--lots of bold colors, simple geometry...masculine but still pretty.

For more.

Great Abstract Title Sequences

So I finished my animated typeface. I might add some numbers and limited punctuation later, just to round it out, but for the most part I'm getting tired of it.

So what's next? I just found this title sequence aaaaand it's pretty kickass. Maybe I'll pick a word and make one of my own... Or re-make my old Hackers titles...
