A few months ago, Buenos Aires based photographer Irina Werning, started inviting people to go back to their future. Werning explains, “Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.” A great idea with some great results, might have to dig out some childhood photos to reenact.

Amazing shots by Ron Gessel of the coolest animal on earth, the snow monkey.

I’m a little late on picking up on these, but love this set of 3 Star Wars Movie posters. Produced by London based illustrator and designer Olly Moss.

We’ve finally got round to shooting our nice new meeting room, hand painted by the brilliantly talented Hammo

A nice little music video Jane found here from Manchester band Louis Barabbas & The Bedlam Six. We thought we’d share it with you. Enjoy

Any interview anxiety was put at rest when I first visited for a look over my folder, sat at a picnic table surrounded by a grassed floor and animal life illustrations on the walls. It became clear from then on that they were focused by what motivated me as a student designer, therefore making my time at the studio as fruitful as it can be. In what can be a busy studio, there is a colorful and warm atmosphere, everyone seems happy to offer a hand with a smile on their face.

Its obvious that the studio’s open minded personality has a strong influence on the work. It will definitely live in my memory as the most pleasant placement experience, as I am now just finding my feet I leave with a intent of returning in the near future.

A big thankyou to Neil and all the “sparks”.

Chris Martin spends much of his working day deleting emails from misguided Coldplay fans, but any remaining time is spent tongue to cheek and crayons in hand. After months of work in progress his latest piece is done and it’s pretty impressive!
