Synth Eastwood is back for another show and a new theme has been announced – ‘Homemade’. Work can be submitted in various forms such as photography, typography, film work, illustration, audio loops, installations, performance, pretty anything you want!

The deadline for submitting all work is midnight Monday May 4th. The show itself will take place Friday 15th May in Temple Bar, Dublin.

Was pointed in the direction of this link by my brother and found it too good not to post. This has got to be my favourtie site to fall into since the start of the year, TV Ark is and online museum for TV adverts, Idents and television shows.

‘The site is intended as a tribute to the work of television presentation and graphics, and to preserve a slice of our social history. Through images and video clips, we present those modest little chunks of television that are never repeated: idents, programme promotions, opening title sequences, public information films, commercials, daily start-ups and closedowns, break bumpers and station clocks. Each item is accompanied by a short written analysis and review’- TV Ark

There is so much choice on this site I did not know where to start. The only down point about the collection is the ability to view the videos, they don’t stream so you have to download them and watch them on Real Player. All good ay?

Happy viewing!

Thursday is nearly upon us! Nearly another week over and another To-Do list scribbled out (almost!). But this post is not intended to be about work it’s about what you could be doing after work, if you are one of the lucky people that can get out of work before 8PM.

Well, I was meant to be attending the D&AD ‘Everyone Starts Somewhere’ talk at the Slaughtered Lamb in London, but no, no more room for me. So instead I came across this little gem today, at Selfridges on Thursday Kid Robot will be invading the Wonder Room with the special store-gallery UK Invasion! There will be many great designers and illustrators there such ilovedust and Jon Burgerman.
