Give us a job Rory!

We had a very interesting lecture today with Advertising legend Rory Sutherland. He is the vice chairman of Ogilvy and had alot to say! He spoke to us about Obliquity in our work......his favourite word, and gave us a whole list of cool books to read. I will be buying them! Rory told us to "Consider the most intangible solution first." He is actually a really funny nice guy, he joked about being mistaken for his doppelgänger (a famous cyclist with the same name), and even invited us follow him on twitter...twit-twoo.

But most importantly he left us with the message "Be Proud Of What You Do". Tom and I will take this mantra with us to our next crit, we WILL be proud of what we do!
Thank you Rory!

Peugeot's new ad shows you the evolution of the car. I think the ad is brilliant. Quite afew car adverts recently have used the Transformers effect, I think it's cool this one is one of my favourites along with the dancing car for the Citroen C4. Great song choice too.

Quelqu'un M'a Dit

I found this song when watching the film 500 Days of Summer, the film wasn't that great but I think the song is beautiful. The title translates as- "Someone Said Me". I dont understand what else she says, I wish I could speak French, Tom told me our university gave FREE French lessons.....yes i was excited....but no, turns out young Thomas was not paying attention! Anyway enjoy the song as I have had it on repeat since I found it.....Au Revoir!

Chris Davy

This is by photographer, Christopher Davy. I stumbled across this image last year when one of my tutor's- Tracey asked us all to find a new photographer we admired. I found Chris Davy. This photo is my favourite by him. It's a great shot, I love how the water droplets nicely separate the marketing people from the contrasting people outside in the rain. I think black & white photographs tell more of a story to those in colour. I think I might actually get this photo framed.....it would go nicely in my room, might even inspire me to take great photo's like this one.

Creatives love Mac's

I found this image randomly whilst doing research. I REALLY like it. The idea is great and the actual visual is very well done. It is of two creatives Manfred Kruger and Juliana Abislaimán, Me and Tom have to make a short film about ourselves as creatives and I think something like this would look very cool. I was thinking of a weird stop-motion or animation film. But its early days yet.
