send points

a new book (with the rather odd title) ‘art in book’ on special book design projects arrived in the post this week from chinese publisher ‘send points’

it features several of our own book projects and the overall quality of the lanscape format book itself was a pleasant surprise for me…

shine

i came across this classic beer campaign last week whilst working on a job, i don’t post much advertising work on this blog but the ‘miller high life’ from the mid 90’s remains one of the best in its sort, see the whole beautifully written/directed & executed series by director ‘errol morris’ here

men in tights

we spent last friday in a dance studio with mister ‘ruud baan’ shooting the first of the new poster image series for the dutch national ballet (season 12-13)

many thanks to everyone who helped to make it a successful day, including firstly ruud of course but also the dancers (‘anna tsygankova’ from russia, ‘james stout’ from canada, ‘anatole babenko’ from russia, ‘sebastien galtier’ from france and ‘jared wright’ from australia) and my clients ‘ted and sandra’ who all worked very hard to make the image we wanted…

it was quite an unusual idea this one and i’ll post some more image as soon as we have sorted it all out, should be great when finished i think
