Yarn Storming


Confused, intrigued, want to be involved...well lets put it this way were not talking grannies and tea cosies, and that is part of the reasoning. It's to take this old image we link to knitting where it actually is becoming a popular past-time with some of the younger folk too. A friend of mine knitted a wooly hat for me which i adore, she made it and its a limited edition if you get my gist, and lets be honest you probably weren't a fan of your grannies creations because it sported something like a large reindeer head aka Bridget Jones. However these little beasts crop up all over London in guerilla style, i know if i found one in my city it would make my day. On top of that some of these little knitted creatures are cute as, i think they could definately make a little shop of one off's and limited editions, keep your eyes peeled when your in the big smoke...

Should of gone to Specsavers...



It is amazing how brands can instill there motto/strap-line in the public if they are exposed to it enough and how the line is used in everyday conversation, continually promoting the brand, even if it is subconscious. With regards to the advert need i say anymore... Simple and to the point, and let's be honest no-one would want there Audi to be damaged, and a Specsavers bill would be cheaper than Audi's too.

Have you had your Weetabix?



This advert is great, it grabs everyones attention, the giant furry animals appeal to the children while making the adults laugh in the process. It's a similar analogy to Popeye and his spinach, and it's funny because when I have played sport in the past and some one seems to be extra energetic or has strength I always joke about them having had there Weetabix for breakfast. I think this advert is great for their portfolio and goes back to the roots of what half of there advertising was originally focused on.
