One of the fascinating things about Google’s Street View coverage of Australia is the amazingly out of the way places they got to. I love this aspect – dirt roads that wind along in the back blocks of the never never. Anyway, I was panning around the Gulf Country of far north Queensland when I [...]
Got a laugh out of this one:

…thanks ta! I suppose the Moreland Leader is under resourced like so many organisations are these days, so between the cleaner and the work experience guy who answers the phones, they have to get a lot done to get an issue out the door. Not surprising then, that little things go astray, like this beautifully [...]

When Sony released the now famous ad with the bouncy balls there was huge speculation about how they did it. Was it computer generated, was it faked – the discussion was quickly stopped as eye witness accounts told of the amazing photo shoot. The next ad was the exploding paint – again brilliant and memorable, [...]

Shouldn’t laugh at the misfortune of others – however small – but Apple’s website is usually so perfect, everything in its place, that when there is a problem you’ve gotta make the most of it! In this case, the hoary old chestnut, the nemesis of graphic designers everywhere – forgotten placeholder text. On the Australian [...]
