Why am i not blogging?

2009-04-16T12:49:00.000-07:00

I'm posting this because i've just found that some of my friends have kindly linked my blog to theirs (some for longer than others) even though it's inactive, so i think i need to update...

It's been an incredibly difficult/crazy/depressing/amazing/life-changing past few months in my personal life as well as work wise.
I have a new partner as well as a new book that changes every week (it never ends......).
We've had two placements and have a third (and possibly fourth) lined up.
This is as well as a website (coming soooooon) and working on our degree show.

Outside of advertising, i have been working on a short film that i've been working on since 16/02/09
as well as my Illustrations, my comic and my health, fitness and abs :P
Also, my music has sparked again, and i have two home friends who want to get something going jam wise after i finish Uni, and are demanding i write more songs...already!

So it's busy times at the moment, and this blog has suffered (and, dammit, it will suffer more!!) because of all this.
I have some posts lined up that i've been meaning to put up, but it's been put behind all of my other projects.
One is even about the tickle i have with writing a blog in general... more to come when i have finally found all the pieces to my head again :)

Thanks

Ads i like

I love this ad campaign, having only just seen some of the D&AD annual, this was my faviourite, even the text is brilliantly done, the whole text is about the person, but the parts highlighted are the whole thing shortened down.

Agency: Leo Burnett Mumbai, India
Creative Directors: Santosh Padhi, KV Sridhar
Art Director, Typographer: Santosh Padhi
Typographer, Illustrator: Kunal Mhabadi
Copywriter: Russell Barrett

Also, this is really late, but i remembered this as well worthy of a mention for a brilliant marketing campaign.

Bungee Boredom

2008-10-29T13:34:00.000-07:00

I've recently finished a brief asking for a short video on our views about boredom.
In answer to the brief, i went up to bradford (from high wycombe) and bungee jumped off a crane, then came all the way back again in one day.

Here were the results...enjoy:
