Sometimes ads make me very happy. Not only because of what they are advertising…but how they advertise it.
Check out this undersea map of the internet! Such a cool article – thank you fastcodesign.com
See some snips of the article below.

They seem so brittle. Cables that are a little more than two inches thick line our ocean floors, culminating in over half a million miles in length, transmitting terabytes of data across the globe every second. What about satellites? As of 2006, they represented just 1% of telecommunications traffic. Most of our information flows through these underwater pipes, laid by ships off gigantic spools.
If you’d like a map of your own, 36-by-50-inch prints are available now for $250.

Jen and I set out to create a custom Jack-o-lantern for Jägermeister this Halloween. Their logo is pretty detailed so it seemed like quite the daunting task…
Below you will find some process photos of the 6hr project. The final photo for our client is at the bottom of this post.
Step 1: Trace Logo with Sharpie via projector
Step 2: Carve Logo using various tools. I decided not to go all the way through – so I could keep all the “islands” of the stencil.
Step 3: Finish logo before light and thickness tests.
Step 4: First light test – as you can see the pumpkin was thicker in some spots resulting in not enough light leaking through.
Step 5: Carve deeper to allow more light to leak through.
Step 6: Final light test. Pretty happy with it! Spooky!
Step 7: Final spooky location shoot during the night. This is the final image Jägermeister picked for their Halloween campaign.

I am always on the hunt for visually awesome design stuff that could be used during events, on stage or even in photo/video shoots. One thing I’ve been checking out lately is the use of water – it moves – it’s natural – it can be lit – it can be frozen etc.
I’m sure everyone has seen the waterfall backdrops that can be synced to music and have company logos etc. Kinda cool but kinda boring. Right?
I recently came across this waterfall swing that really makes you re-think this technology. It steps it up and adds programming with human movement – it’s a basic concept / video but super cool!
I read this article earlier this week on Fastcodesign.com It’s a pretty cool read and a fun experienment to try your self. All you have to do is download the app called “Echoism”
I decided to photograph a few staff members from our office, I didn’t use the app – so not sure if my versions are better or worse.

This is super cool and obviously my favourite is the cat.
What if you painted a vertical version of this on your wall and wore the striped Kanye glasses? Now that is trippy! And go!
The Milwaukee Police have released their new website. Check out the stunning photography, clean design and great user control of layout.
Think of all the quick DIY projects you can now take on and how much time you will save!
I can finally build that bunk bed with a desk under it for the long nights in the office
