Picked by Six
Not willing to admit that the format may have been used before, Why Did I Not Think of That's popularity has led to a sharp rise in similar, bookmarking style sites. One such site was spotted by Graham Higgins. He recommends that you check;http://www.pickedbysix.com/ to see what floats the graphic design boat of Leictershire agency MadeBySix.

The Visual Wit of Christoph Niemann
I sometimes feel like I'm on a one-man mission to universally replace the term 'Graphic Design' with 'Graphic Communication'. Enter the shining example that is Christoph Niemann and his Lego interpretation of New York
How much more simple do you want it to be than to nick your kid's toys and make a career out of them? Inspired.

Ilovedust.com/darkomolloy.blogspot.com
Things move fast in the world of our previous poster, Mr G.Higgins from Glasgow and he's emailed in to say he's up and running with a new blog - darkomolloy - and very impressive it looks too..
And now for his second recommendation of the day - Ilovedust.com. A fun, quirky illustration and graphics agency that have produced work for more companies than this blog could handle. They rather cleverly prevent undesirable types like you and me from stealing images from their site, so I couldn't show you anything but make sure you click on the link.

Radio Station Logos
Further to our warm up-proj' last week, thought I'd share
some of the decent (really rather hard to find) radio logo
stuff I found.
Hey Angela, saw the Pirate Cat Logo and thought of you
-Text is crap but the graphic is quite amusing!

Tape Purses and Craft Fayres
New poster Angela Wassel chipped in with a cool take on
the 1980's icon the cassette tape."When it comes to really cool stuff.."
says Angela, "I think that you don't need to look much further than
your local craft fayre." Fair point and all the better is they're held
in shabby-chic, creative hang-outs like MONO, I say.
Check out Glasgow Craft Mafia, if handmade, quirky things be your
hemp-knitted, biodegradable bag.
More to follow...
Bumper Bag of Fun from Jamie T
who recommends every one's favourite paper artist Jen Stark.
Not content to leave it there, Jamie went on to say he
'particularly likes' this illustration by half Dutch, half Polish,
all-round creative type Stefan Venbroek
I can see why.

Give a Hand to Wildlife
"Thinking out of the box" is simultaneously both a naff,
overused expression and yet very worthwhile advice.
Thinking "away from the computer" might be even better advice.
Designers Republic are Dead.
Long Live Designers Republic.
Sheffield agency Designers Republic have reportedly gone belly-up acording to one local blog. Reaching the height of their fame in the mid 90's with iconic album covers such as this<< they never bought into the "if you don't live and work in London you're nothing" idea, simply writing "North of Nowhere" as the last line of their address.

Never Let Anyone Tell You Shadow Puppets Aren't a Credible Tool for Graphic Design
Just to prove he's no one-trick pony, Jamie-T also chipped
in with this rather elegant, ethereal video from American
I'm a bit of a dunce and couldn't find an embed link for the video
itself but click below anyway to see all the wonderful storyboards
and screen-shots from the making of the video.
Pin Hole Camera
First up from Jamie T is a rather impressive if somewhat
epileptic fit inducing flash video concerned with all things
Pin Hole. Click the image to link.
Don't know about you but I'm off to hunt down a cotton-reel,
an elastic band and some old film and make me one..
What is camera film by the way?
