A genius short film by Hans Lo - created for his eight month old niece to teach her about how different things in life work. I love the use of dated graphics and music; it reminds me of the BBC comedy series "Look Around You" - a hilarious take on educational science videos for schools.

The Man In The High Castle
I'm currently reading Phillip K. Dick's "The Man In The High Castle" as I absolutely the premise of alternate realities and science fiction. I'm so curious about the future and the unlimited paths the world might take, so this book was right down my alley!
The Future...
I do believe the wheels of my website have been set in motion! So hopefully a prototype should be online in about 2 - 3 weeks, hoorah!
Anyway, I've successfully finished third year unscathed and I'm ready for the final 12 months! To prepare I've completely immersed myself in information - websites, podcasts, newspapers, magazines - learning about pretty much everything.
I'm also back on the drawing wagon doodling away trying new techniques and such just to keep continually improving my skills.
Most importantly I'm trying to identify my own personal style by making mood boards of the people who have inspired me. I can't believe I haven't mentioned him before, but German designer Deiter Rams is an absolute product design god! His work is the pinnacle of industrial design, combining form with semantics creating beautiful but functional objects.
But I just don't want to create the exterior, I want to get my hands dirty and make the innards too, both mechanical and electronic. So here's hoping whatever comes out of my final year of studies is along the lines of that...

Animated Furniture
Some great and humorous work from cabinet maker Jake Cress - I really love the cripple table (pictured above).

Rain, prepare to be defeated
I love this fun take on the umbrella. I don't think I would ever use it to keep myself dry, only to swing it around the room making ridiculous noises!

Kroener Union
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been busy with such items as revising for an engineering exam, job hunting and breaking my laptop screen (the main reason...).
Anyway back to normal with some witty graphic work from Swiss group Kroener Union.
