Type of weather?

During the last six months I have been working with a typeface that a colleague of mine customized to give it a weathered look. It has been a central element in the new packaging for Texas Longhorn range of products. Although it has proven to be tough on computer memory. So it's a bit slow to work with.

I have just become aware of a few others such types on the market. Lovely finish to them. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on them. Notably "Thirsty Script Rough" by Designer Ryan Martinson at Yellow Design Studio.

Saw this film a while back. Recommend it to anyone who likes a good dose of tension and desperation where things go from bad to worse.

Skyfall Xperia Softdrink

In a stunt to promote the Sony Xperia, film-goers attending the opening of new Bond film Skyfall in Stockholm were given a free soft drink on entering the cinema. Then some of those drinks started to ring...

Agency CP+B organised the stunt to promote the Sony Xperia acro S, a waterproof smartphone. As the audience were going in to watch the film, they were offered a free fizzy drink, some of which contained a phone. A specially-made ad then explained what was going on:

PETA: firm and fresh



Fallon's Stay Firm and Fresh ad for PETA promotes the idea that going veggie does wonders for your sex drive.

London Sound Taxi



Great idea. Unfortunately not quite what I expected. The sounds generated don't seem to have any connection to the urban sounds that you associate with London.

I suspect the positive response from the public was more related to the speaker spectacular car rather than their understanding that the sounds from the city affected the music generated by the car.

It would have been good to see the public interacting with the car, making sounds and getting direct feedback from the sounds created.
