  • Posted in Design

The Bike Song by Mark Ronson (& The Business Intl) caught my attention not because of the song itself, but the fact that the video features a Brompton, Moulton and Raleigh Burner, three amazing bikes owned by myself, Harry Worth and Rob respectively. I guess they must have seen us and realised how cool we [ READ MORE ]

What I liked about the swirl earphones was the combination of simplicity and subtle details, [ READ MORE ]

Book

I want this. It’s a book.  But not just any book. It’s like a Marks & Spencers’ book. But better. It’s got all Stanley Kubrick’s notes and ideas for Napoleon. The best film never made. So it’s a book about a film about a man. It might be 900 quid. But it’s literally a Russian [ READ MORE ]

The Guardian’s design section had a slideshow today of posters by Music Philosophy, a site full of typographic lyric posters. These posters, which remind me a lot of Anthony Burrill’s style, are available in physical form for about $30-50, and also make great phone backgrounds![ READ MORE ]

Check out the new ‘Qlasp’ earphones by Sony. Coming in a range of bright Kotori-esque colours, these ones look wild (and remind me of the hoverboard from Back To The Future part III)!

The Gully Gallery is the online gallery space of illustrator Calum Torbett, a Brighton (and Bournemouth) based artist. Having been a fan of his work for quite some time, I’ve absolutely no excuse for not showing his work sooner.

This is as much an impressive piece of designing as it is such a simple, well shot video. ‘Stereo’ is a video of Daniel Rose (of the band C-mon & Kypski, also worth a listen to!) playing a two headed guitar, by Amsterdam based designer Baster. Via it’s nice that[ READ MORE ]
