A brand, a category, an item, and a web site that sews up fashion for Burberry.


What's the icon for your brand? Are you giving it a stage and a voice? Are you innovating the ways in which people can experience it, share it, and help improve or reinterpret it?

Illustration in a classic style with a modern vibe.

Kevin Dart's work has a cool sophistication and 60's-era 007 meets Godzilla sensibility. I particularly dig his renditions in the movie poster format.
And it's really neat to see how this style can be used across such a broad range of subject matter and objectives.

Nanotech and the stretchable phone.

A concept video for Nokia's development vision. It's called the Morph communications device. Some features are molecular in scale, there's transpart surfaces for an AR experience, a "grass" surface would harvest solar energy for power, and... it's stretchable. Thanks for the tip to Sarah Buschkamp at Maddock Douglas.

Doodle much? Check out these fantastic Moleskine illustrations for a little inspiration.

It's an old-ish article, but it's worth resurrecting if you haven't seen it. No one sits down to create a masterpiece in their notebook...it's a transitory environment for all ideas - good and bad. The important thing is to catch the idea before it's gone.
