OK…sorry for the shameless Alan Partridge pun, but I couldn’t help it. Sue me…it’s been a long day.
Rightso, this is quite an exceptional idea and one that’s had me thinking of the possibilities most of the afternoon. I’m not gonna’ waffle on, I’ll let the cut & paste from Design Boom do that inside, but just think what the world would be like if every new building had this level of thought put into it?…
What a beautiful idea this is. The Design Auction was set up by some tutors and students of Lincoln School of Art & Design back in 2007 as a way to make some cash for their third year graphic design end of year degree show. A few phone-calls and emails later and the great & good of the design world were offering them rare and beautiful bits and pieces of loveliness and gorgousnessness. It’s a simply brilliant idea, a great website and a showcase of some truly ground-breaking bits of design. So grab yer’ mouse, a cup of tea and a pack of Digestives and enjoy…
It’s not often I get excited by shiny silver technology…well, not often…ahem….but I’ve just been forced to stop work entirely and rush to the bank to see if I have a spare £160 to fork out on one of these beauties…
Sometimes, one has to simply sit back and admit defeat…y’know? You’d like to think you’re the best thing to happen to whatever industry you’re in, but inevitably you are faced with the realisation that, well…you’re not. That’s the cool [and also the horrific] thing about working in a studio with talented people. Yes, you get to work as a team and learn from / influence each other, but you also have to put up with hard, cold facts:
‘That piece of work is great and I couldn’t have come up with it”…
I think this is genius. Sara Watson, a Bristol art student, set out to make her car invisible by camouflaging it in to the surroundings. What looks like some clever Photoshop work actually took three weeks of painstaking, real-world painting – amazing… (more…)
MeesPierson Guernsey has a new look client newsletter, designed by Offshore International Advertising. 1720 – marking the earliest beginnings of the Group – features the latest news from the business, profiles of team members, event information, updates on various community and sponsorship initiatives.
The new look client newsletter is fresher looking, easier to read, more engaging and has been well-received. That all adds up to an effective piece of communication.
The Guernsey Financial Services Commission regulates and supervises the finance sector in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, with integrity and efficiency, and in so doing helps to uphold the international reputation of the islands as a leading finance centre.
A pretty important job it has to be said, and they needed their annual report and accounts to reflect their international status. Offshore International Direct used stunning photography of the island courtesy of excellent photographer Mike Bonsall (www.mikebonsallphotography.com), then added a nice creative theme. See what we produced inside…

Leading garden centre Earlswood asked Offshore International Advertising to create a collection of new adverts to promote its plants, plant care products, barbecues and outdoor furniture. To keep things looking fresh and bright but to also inject a bit of humour to make the ads eye-catching, we elected to take a slightly off-kilter approach. So where some would have put their plants in pots…we put ours in shirts and ties. See all the ads here…
Offshore International Advertising has re-branded and created a new identity for Shore – the online banking service from MeesPierson… (more…)
