Two of my friends (@rosmad being one) were looking at my site today while I was beside them and I was embarrassed by the theme. You know, it’s not even good and it was chosen because of a “it’ll do for now” kind of attitude.

I mean seriously, who likes half naked ladies?! I know I don’t but I’ll leave an image of the header photo in this post as a keep safe……

Buh bye crap theme!

New theme is called Notepad Chaos and can be downloaded free from SmashingMagazine.

Hey all, hopefully someone can help me.

I’ve a blog for a project I’m working on and I’ve a Facebook Page for the same. I’ve no problem displaying the blog posts on the FaceBook page’s wall, it’s the next step that’s gettin’ me.

I want the fans of my FB page to be able to see the latest update on their home wall’s. It’s nothing new. Lamebook.com and Komplett.ie both do it but I don’t see how they are doing it either.

Google didn’t yield anything for me and it’s something that’d be very handy.

Thanks, Sean

I’ve really been listening to a lot of The Beatles lately,  largely because I got The Beatles: Rockband, and I particularly love “Here comes the Sun”.

Jason Mraz takes on Winter Wonderland. Well, might I add.

Alma is a fantastic 3D short film. Really fantastic.

Oxygen from Christopher Hendryx is another really groovy short 3D film.

That’s all for this week folks. Enjoy!

Just saw The Sun’s (Newspaper) advert on T.V. just there. It’s a blatant parody of Apple’s iPhone adverts that are currently running every where (see below) but its very, very cleverly executed and very effective. I loved it.

Well, two actually. Firstly, I’m making a book of designers from various “isms” such as constructivism, futurism, dadaism, pictorial modernism etc.

An example of Cassandre's (Pictorial Modernism) Work

I’ve decided to make the front and back cover out of metal (much like the Futurist’s manifesto) but maybe mix it up with some other “ism” just to add some more interest.

I’ve to design the inside pages as well which will be equally important. It’ll be tough to keep a consistency between so many different styles of artistry.

Secondly, I’m making a children’s book. I’m much less certain about this at the moment as the designer book is due first and so it’s on my mind the most.

I’m interested in a tactile book and maybe something “make and do” but I really have so set myself a target age group before I can start designing and this will also limit what I can actually do.

Enough for now, I’ll post photos when it’s done.

Hey all! How are we keeping?

I’m using my new Android G1 phone to post this using an app called wpToGo which is pretty nifty.

College is mad buzy. I had a presentation yesterday that went well but I have like 6 big projects due in December. A Design magazine, a children’s book, a Flash game, a flash ‘yolkie’, a website and a 3d scene. Many a late night lies ahead!

I’ll leave you with a photo of a book that I bound and made myself in class today. It’s pretty cool if I do say so myself.

Talk to ya’ll again!

Edit//: I guess it’s not so good at uploading images. Oh well :/
