E-COMMERCE + The Future of online shopping?


Cicatriz Clothing's website features a really cool integrated web shop developed in Flash, (Flash! a bit like Marmite these days, you either love it or hate it in this case I'm loving it) anyway back to the website... using Flash with a lo-fi video interface to showcase Cicatriz Clothing's summer collection, nice! Oh and there is some humor in there to.

VIDEO On the Tube


I stumbled across this 'Minority Report' style Video Billboard (introduced by advertising giant Viacom Outdoor) on the London Underground last week (Victoria Line, Southbound Platform). They'll be scanning our eyeballs next, "Good morning Mr Smith, Have you tried the new Flame Grilled Whopper?". All we need now is someone to spend a little money on doing some descent advertising to project on it, the running Giraffe was not doing it for me.

PRODUCT The Nu Shopping Bag


The 'new shopping bag' by Susan Bijl, Netherlands. Simple and functional What more can you ask for in a shopping bag? Well for starters it should not be made of plastic and aid in the suffocation of Leather Back Turtles!. Made of coated nylon (the fabric used in shipping sails and kites) these shopping buddies are light, water repellent and super strong.

$36 USD delivered to Europe or $38 rest of the world 'Nice! I'll take two (that should help save the planet, well a little anyway'). For more info check out Design Boom.

ART & DESIGN The Scribblers

I'm liking these Likely Lads; Hip-Hop Scribble, Mod Scribble, Nu Rave Scribble. Argh! look Mod Scribble done a wee-wee (too many beers?). StudioAad (Art&Design) "a visual communications studio with no particular house style" makes a change!. Take a look around their website Aad (Art & Design) there is some really cool work here, design, illustration, art, photography, art direction...

WEBSITE Faces in Places


'Faces in Places' Described as a photographic collection of faces found in everyday places, what more can you say? It does exactly what it says on the tin. There are so many faces in places, robot faces, cute faces... you'll just have to go and peruse them for yourself; faces in places. Or why not get involved, "If you've taken or found an appropriate photo, please add it to the Faces in Places Flickr group"
