Think for a minute before you throw away your old carton boxes. You can make some cool stuff with it, like Berni Valenta did!

coincidence?

I was in New York recently at the New Museum on Bowery and couldn’t help noticing the design of the museum’s T-shirts. Look familiar anyone?

motivation

Leroy Smith (Charlie Murphy) is the guy who motivated Michael Jordan into becomming the greatest basketball player ever. Now, with his revolutionary website, he’s finally able to motivate the world, including Canada. Make sure you play the game, wich is great. So who’s behind all this, Nike?

Camp silver

Now that summer has arrived here in Holland its time to hit the beach again! If you’re looking for something a lil’ bit different or want to impress your better half with a romantic getaway; take a look at Camp Silver on the island of Texel. You can spend the night here in an original design classic; the Airstream trailer or a Pacific Dome tent. Ik zeg doen!

The king’s collection

That MJ lost his credibility a few years ago we all know.
Since his concerts in London didn’t get him out of his huge debts he did a garage-sale. The kind of stuff he sells is sometimes hilarious, sad, beautiful or just ugly.

Still, t-shirts are hot. These designs show a clever use of the t-shirt with an integrated form of ad or art.

1000 acres vodka

Some interesting bottle designs by Arnell for 1000 Acres Vodka. I don’t know if this is the kind of bottle I want to hold when i’m drinking away my sorrows with the lads, but they look pretty fresh.

genesis

The cartoonist Robert Crumb (aka the man who came up with Fritz the cat!) just finished a comic book of the biblical story Genesis. Everybody who knows his genre will agree with me that this will be a hell of a trip! Well, I hope so anyway. Now we just have to wait till October…

NW goes ADFORMATIE

After a succesfull ‘trend bloggers’ feature in Creatie, they asked us to the same trick on monthly basis for Adformatie. TheFWA, Adverblog and NewWork will send in their favorite interactive case and comment on the others. I have the honour to represent NW, but can’t do it without you. I hope we can decide together which case we should send in and why. The first issue of trend bloggers will be available at the Spinawards Adformatie edition, next Thursday. From there, you decide..

Beard head

Planning a snowboard trip? Well, I’m guessing you just come back from one. Let’s just presume that you are planning one. In that case, get yourself a Beard Head and look like a wiseman, an intellectual for that matter, when you try to do your tricks on the steep slopes.

New Tetris

Right then, some leisure time here on New Work! This game, 99 Bricks, looks like Tetris but it’s a bit different. Instead of making the bricks disappear you have to use them to build the highest tower that you can. Sounds easy, eh? Wait till the physics kick in!

more logo

If you thought the new Pepsi logo was just so so, think again. According to this leaked design strategy from Arnell Group, it is nothing less than the String Theory of design. Drawing from the Mona Lisa, the Parthenon and the impact of sun radiation on the earth’s magnetic fields, this has got to be the funniest document I ever read.

samurain

This geeky umbrella made me laugh. It’s perfect for pedestrians and samurai alike. Also, if the makers want to adopt the name Samurain, i’m open to offers.

SUCC

Every day, countless work hours are wasted in endless meetings.  The solution? SUCC: a Slightly Uncomfortable Chair Collection, for shorter and more efficient meetings. Great idea by Sid Lee Collective!

When the production of the instant film stopped last year, an Austrian artist and businessman named Florian Kaps saw himself as the savior of this film. He started the impossible project.
