My latest brief has been to create an identity for myself to send out to design studios to try and source a placement for 2 weeks. I have came to the conclusion that I want to play on the brand "beecham's pills" because it seems ever since i was young, when someone tries to spell my name they automatically say afterwards "ohh like beechams powders/pills" depending on their age range. I think this will stick in their mind to remember me... well hopefully. I'm going to research into Beecham's as a brand and how they have came along over the years. I will also be looking into 1900's packaging design.

condom packaging from 1930's/40's

These beautifully designed vintage condom packets just caught my eye. They're actually quite funny in the way that some describe exactly what they are for and some have no description what so ever, and the names well they are just hilarious. I think my favourite is Merry Widows ;)

David McCandless: The beauty of data visualization

David McCandless turns complex data sets (like worldwide military spending, media buzz, Facebook status updates) into beautiful, simple diagrams that tease out unseen patterns and connections. Good design, he suggests, is the best way to navigate information glut -- and it may just change the way we see the world.

Jason Fried: Why work doesn't happen at work

Soho!

Whilst walking around the back streets of Soho i found these seedy neon lights, i took the photos on my phone that's why the quality is poor..i'm not really sure why i like them i think they're interesting and tacky and i love abit of tack!

This kind of reminds me of how the sex industry is and how even though its out of sight it's still going on.
