This video starts off by looking good, the slow running water against the black background, so beautiful composed. But suddenly it turns into something horrible Waterboarding; It’s a new way of torturing a human being, you put them on a bench backwards, and start to pour water, down their air intake; head and nose..

That there is the Tata Nano, the spiritual successor to the original Volkswagen Beetle. With manual steering, a sub-one-liter engine and wheels the size of dinner plates, the “People’s Car” from India was designed not for aggresive performance, but for aggressive economy.
How aggressive? The Nano gets 50 miles to the gallon and will retail for roughly $2,500–the same price as the DVD player option on a new Lexus, as one reviewer drolly noted.
While the diminutive car will most likely not meet U.S. and European safety standards, it wasn’t designed to compete with cars in those markets; One of the main catalysts behind the creation of the nano was that the owner of tata was tired of seeing entire families holding on for dear life on mopeds. This gives them a wonderful all weather alternative. Tata expects an annual demand of one million cars. As the so-called “other half” gains access to automobiles, what will be the impact on the transportation design field?
We really like this blog which is a celebration of faces that you spot in various inanimate objects.
While surfing the net , I came across some really nice lil memo mugs .. with page line prints and grids .. cool ceremics to have around a fun house or an office space.
Fun! Notebook, graph and ruled.
Nice campaign featuring tiny boxes of popcorn that say the slogan, “iPod: Movies in your pocket.”
A little late but none the less a round of applause to all involved in the new Sony Bravia ad ie. Fallon and Passion Pictures. The 3rd in the Sony Bravia series is apparently the most ambitious piece of stop-motion animation every undertaken! Filmed over 3 weeks in New York, using 40 animators and 2.5 tonnes of plasticine with a killer Stones soundtrack, it is one of my favourite so far. Watch the ad and some behind the scenes business here.
Amazing interactive music video for The Arcade Fire.
Purpose a design house based in the uk have a very interesting site .. its absolutely fresh .
To celebrate Christmas this year, Gavin Martin Associates decided to hold
a Curryoke party – an evening of curry and karaoke – and asked Purpose to
design the invitation.
Purpose subverted popular Karaoke songs and the iconic Indian
take away container to create a memorable invite.
The invitations where delivered in a brown paper bag containing a
number of curry containers, each with a different song message scrawled
on the top. Songs include: ‘Murder on Dhansk floor’, ‘Love me tandoor’,
‘Rice rice baby’ and ‘Naaneater’, amongst many others.
Hidden away on the flipside of the lid are the event details
foil blocked onto mirror board.
