This video was made by Copywriter and friend of mine Bob Ferraz, and Art Director Marcelo Melo. It was their submission for Film category of the Portuguese Young Lions Competition. The prize, young creatives go to the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival to represent Portugal, in the international Cannes Young Lions Competition. They finished 2nd, so unfortunately their not going to Cannes, but their submission is a great one, and I know this film will take them to other good places. Bob is available for hiring, Marcelo works for Fischer Portugal. For now this will only be understandable by the portuguese speaking readers, however they are working on an english version, and as soon as I have it, I will post that one.

Just a few days ago I said I finally found my letterpress letters, ad today as I was looking through CR Blog, I found this video about the brasilian guys who did Creative Review’s cover a couple of months back, a cover made using letterpress.

As I commented on their blog, do you think we’ll share the same love for our inkjets as we have today for letterpress? Will I be looking in antique shops and on eBay for inkjet cartridges? Today I don’t think so, but who knows what I’ll think about this in a few years time.

Just found about this one on Facebook. “Collect-me” is an online shop that sells limited edition wall vinyls, pins, t-shirts, prints, etc, created by various Artists, Illustrators and Designers. Unfortunatley the website is in portuguese, however if you see something you really like and want to buy, I’m sure if you send them an email in english they will be happy to help you out.

I’m a big fan of designer toys.

Apart from making toys, he also has some great skecthes and illustrations. Be sure to check both his work, and toys. Who knows, you might find the perfect addition to your collection.

I was in London last week (the reason for the lack of posting) for a much needed holiday, and head reset. While I was there, I found this great shop in Spitalfields, full of fantastic antiques and oddities, and was finally able to buy my much wanted letterpress letters. Make sure, if you’re in London to visit Elemental for some original and unique buys. If you can, go on a Sunday, and visit the Spitalfields Sunday (Up)Market at the Old Truman Brewery. You’re wallet will feel lighter at the end of the day, but you’ll be one happy spender ;) Good “World” food to be found to!

By now, after their recent success with the “Get it on” Ad for Durex featuring condom bunnies, you probably know Superfad, the U.S and U.K based production company. If you don’t know their work, be sure to click around their work, if you do know them, it’s still worth checking for some new work, or even to watch again, and get some inspiration from some of the amazing film and animation productions featured.

p.s - the captured image is from infographic style TV Advert, “What’s Happening” for Sprint, by Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
