Possibly the BEST wedding cake...

Well at least for some people. This is so cool, compiled from Mario Brothers, but its got everything the scenery and from different levels, the boxes with the goodies in, i love the huge mushroom and Princess and Mario passing off as the bride and groom, every computer geeks ideal cake, the thing i cant get over is the quality and colour.

The Sheep Market

This is one of the bizarrest ideas i think that i have seen, it is so funny, there is basically 10,000 sheep on the page that have been drawn by people online and there are varying standards and versions but funny all the same, and you can rewatch how the person drew it and if this is not crazy enough already then you can actually buy the sheep...for $20 hilarious stuff, to be fair there are some good ones but not for £10, think its cheaper to mac up your own. Baa Ram You...

SNES Remote

This is a true geeks little experiment, this is the making of a large snes controller, it would be underestimating to say life size. You will get the gist of the size over the next few pictures... The first picture is the buttons and you can see the size with the small craft paint pots on the buttons.


This is the mother of all coffee tables, you can see its size in comparison to the surrounding objects


Inside has been used for storage, and you can see all the geeky games but not only that at the top of the lid you can see wires...


The guy has made the coffee table a fully functioning control pad to play the games with, and as you can see its huge, but from playing many console games over the years you would think for serious gaming this would be impratcial with response time, but all good fun for you and your mates to have a laugh with.

Cider Branding

Over the past year or so the cider industry is booming, with more brands coming out of those apples than we can cope with and not just apples but pears too. I came across these cans while scanning the net for material and I'm not sure if i like them or not, i like how you look at the can and you get a smile, a warm welcome to the product and then i realise even though its a "Ci" its a tacky emo-icon which when used i design i generally hate and its used but not necessarily intentionally as an emo-icon if you get my gist. After that, it is a bit clever and good use of the wording and angle, nice simple can design.

certainly not porn, or explicit, just wrong!

Ok so while on work experience scouring through their music collection and i stumbled upon this...



As you may have gathered i do not need to explain anything, it says it all on the album cover and god knows what the music sounds like, but i do not even want to think.

The new skateboarding

Check out this bad boy, in the nicest way possible you can tell its from Greece, just think sandles and white socks, you've all seen it. But what a funny concept, to be fair, sometimes i wonder how skateboarders do the tricks they do with not holding on in anyway, obviously the speed and forces etc. but interesting idea.




I wonder if the leather rubs on your feet and if this works.

Laces

A great piece of ambient media to show off Haribo's liquorice laces and get a lot of attention from what is normally a dull trip up the escalator. The laces pose as if they are a part of the escalator belt itself and are going to slowly unreal. Clever use of whats there and applying another idea to what is already existing.

Reading

This ad is actually for eye drops, but you can see they have used the books to form an eye to emphasise the issue and where the drops may come in handy, cleer way to use the books.
