A Swiss student project and a great idea. Imagine a great kids book done this way or a brand book for that matter. With a bit of budget and time it could be amazing.

I love data visualisation. Not a sentence I thought I’d ever write but with 2.0 technology, suddenly data is alive and sexy and brilliant.
This is a word cloud image made from words most associated with Barak Obama in hundreds of press releases. Imagine the live version powered by blog feeds. This kind of thing would make incredibly powerful digital outdoor posters – watch this space.
and this is one of my favourite websites of the year from Goodby Silverstein for Sprint mobile.

Set up by our illustrators at work. Some really cool stuff here. Love the paintballing piece (below) from AKA studios.
These guys are brilliant web designers and animators. Technically spot on. Something for our design guys to aspire to.
The stickers have been about for ages but this video someone sent round just now, reminded me of them.
I prefer the stickers. I mean, would you approach a guy wearing a mask like that? Exactly. I do think to increase the chance of someone feeling sorry for you and actually waking you up, it would be good to give a reason why you are sleeping. For example, a sticker might read ‘New dad. Haven’t slept for weeks. Please wake me up at Shepherds Bush’. That’d do it.
This is the cover from Kings of Leon’s new album ‘only by the night’. I love it and I am not sure why. There is a huge poster version by Shepherds Bush and every time I pass it on the bus I can’t take my eyes off of it. It’s really quite dark but just draws you in.
Makes your food look as unappetising as possible so nobody nicks it from your communal fridge at work / in student digs etc. Brilliant.
