NHS Anti Smoking advert

This is an amazing anti smoking advert! It so clever and I am convinced that if this doesn't manage to get his mum to quit smoking, nothing will! Could you imagine the shock for a parent to find this advert of their child in the ok magazine? It also gets the message across to the whole audience that smokers sometimes don't see that smoking effects the 3rd party. Smokers may realise that smoking is harmful to there own health and that it might kill them, but it puts it into perspective that they are hurting other people not just themselves. They could leave a child without a parent!
Simples

This is definitely one of my favourite TV Commercials over the summer. Its very original and memorable. It would be the price comparison website that I would use if were to use one. It works in many different ways. It is funny, it has a fantastic micro site - compare the meerkat.com (were you can actually compare meekats, before being directed to compare the market.com. It has also got a lot of the general public saying the catch phrase simples, which helps promote the website further!

Blek le Rat

This is a street artist I have only just discovered. Blek le Rat has been stencilling, pasting and daubing his way around the world for nearly 30 years. But the perception of Banksy as the pioneer of street art is certainly the one favoured by the media and art world. As a result, Banksy’s artistic reputation has been helped by is anonymity. Blek has been working on ironic self-portraits, stencilled socio-political commentary and, interestingly rats since 1981.

London's 2012 Logo

I really hate this logo and think its really disappointing. The jagged emblem is based on the date 2012, and it comes in a series of shades of pink, blue, green and orange and will evolve in the run-up to the Games, I hope it will evolve into a whole new logo by 2012! London 2012 has stated that the new logo is aimed at reaching young people. Sebastian Coe stated that it builds upon everything that the organising committee has said "about reaching out and engaging young people, which is where our challenge is over the next five years"
I think these are better

The invention of lying

I am a big fan of Ricky Gervais' work and I really enjoyed this film. The Invention of Lying about the concept of lying does not exist. Everyone from politicians to advertisers to the man and woman on the street speaks the truth and nothing but the truth with no thought of the consequences. When Mark suddenly develops the ability to lie, he finds that dishonesty has its rewards. In a world where every word is assumed to be the absolute truth, Mark easily lies his way to fame and fortune. But lies have a way of spreading, and Mark begins to realise that things are getting a little out of control when some of his lies are being taken as gospel. With the entire world now hanging on his every word, there is only one thing Mark has not been able to lie his way into: the heart of the woman he loves.

The art of looking sideways

The art of looking sideways is a book by Alan Fletcher. It has lots of interesting facts that offers a wonderfully twisted vision of the chaos of modern life. Describing himself as a "visual jackdaw", master designer Alan Fletcher has spent a lifetime collecting images, useless information, and quotations that take his fancy. This work portrays his collection of facts into a quirky and entertaining read!
Flanimals

These are drawings of funny little monsters (Flanimals) by Ricky Gervais. I really enjoy all of Ricky Gervais' work - The Office, Extras, all his stand ups and his podcasts with Karl Pilkington and Steven Merchants are hilarious to. This book called Flanimals may not be that well known with everyone so I thought it needed to be shared! Every time I look at this book it makes me laugh!
