Swag 2012




I love this site, could scroll up and down the stadium page for the rest of my life and be probably be very happy. Parisian agency Ultranoir created this beauty. Don't ask me how they did it but it's goddamn beautiful!


Superb work.

Reeve Rixon - Portfolio




Check out the fantastic portfolio of designer-editor-photgrapher...well everything'er, Reeve Rixon. If I needed a creative head I'd give him an interview just to see his hand-crafted wooden portfolio!

Stunning work across numerous disciplines. Check out his website here.

Cardiff Met - The Graphic Spectacle


Always a great show to check out if you're in the Cardiff area. My old stomping ground of Cardiff Metropolitan University (formerly UWIC).

Great promo video too! Definitely recognise the shop at the start, think I must have lived round the corner from it.

The Wayback Machine


The Wayback Machine is a tool hosted on the Internet Archive which sends you back in time on the internet! It may be nerdy, it may be incredibly boring to others, but I found it fascinating to took at the history of some of the major brands and how far both them and the web itself have come since the birth of the internet.

Here's some of my finds so far!

Clarks 1998 - MS paint style



Google 1998

Myspace.com 1996 - They definitely sold that domain name too cheap!

Blogger 1999
