Unhate

Here's a nice new campaign from Benetton.

People are invited to 'combat the culture of hatred' within society and love rather than hate. It's a good return to controversial form for a brand that had gone rather bland in recent years and one that I really rather like. The visuals for these posters are great.

There's also a short film to accompany the campaign, directed by Laurent Chanez.

And even some social media activity, including Kiss The Wall, where users are invited to upload pictures of themselves kissing. 

Bare Essentials

I love these.

They've been floating around for a while and I've been meaning to include them on here.

Created by Dutch graphic designer Dennis De Groot, they're a collection of 50 images portraying some of the most recognisable pop-culture characters and vehicles.

Here's a select few, see how many you recognise.

The Walken Dead

I love the Walking Dead, loved the first series and am currently loving the second.

So when I came across this it was no surprise that I rather liked it too, especially the Triceratops line.

The Vet and The n00b

This trailer for Call of Duty MW3 is doing the rounds.

I really like it. 

Firstly it gives you a good flavour for what you're getting if you buy the game, although those likely to buy it probably bought the previous two so know very well already. 

Secondly it's pretty funny, anything with Jonah Hill (apart from Sirus) is in my humble opinion. I love the bit with the land mine.

But mostly it's a really solid idea. The thought that there's a soldier in all of us is ridiculously appealing and taps in perfectly to how any 12-35 year old male would like to view himself - as well I'm sure as a fair few females too.

Leave aside Jonah's lack of trademark curls or his slightly bizarre lack of heft, his former shape and hairstyle probably doesn't marry up to the role of bad ass soldier, and you're left with a really great piece of work.

Having said all that, mind you, still won't make buy the game, right now I've got my hands full with this instead...

Friday fun

Another day, another Star Wars related blog

This time courtesy of my friend Ed at work who sent me this image of a Star Wars typeface, created by Society 6.

Some of them have got me slightly confused as to who they depict so if you know who M, U, V and X are you're an even bigger fan than I am.

Like it though.

Where are we going?

A good question and here's a beautiful answer created by David Coiffier, a camerman, editor and videographist. You can find futher examples of his and others like him on the Pixels Revenge website.

How much does the internet weigh?

It's immeasurable surely?

No it ain't and this guy's worked it all out - super geeky but seriously interesting.

Belated nod to Halloween

I wasn't around to post this yesterday but in honour of Halloween here's some totally amazing pumpkin carvings.

Big Bad Wolf

This is pretty fucking weird but also strangely compelling (thanks Andy).
