The Scarecrow
My favourite video at the moment. Everything about it — story, music, animation — is amazing.
The cure for boredom is curiosity.

Book That Grows In Your Hands
Bruketa & Zinic OM, a Croatian creative agency designed an annual report for the Adris Group which literally evolves in the hands of the user. The black covers of the book, entitled “In Good Hands” reveal floral details when heated by the palms of the hands, thanks to specially calibrated thermo color. The same technique was used for the illustrations inside. An iPad version of the report is also available, and includes technology that also reacts to touch.
The idea is to illustrate metaphorically how hands can achieve anything. Adris Group, which has divisions in both the tobacco and tourism business, is a company owned by its employees as stockholders, and wants to emphasize that it is therefore “in good hands”.
A Day In The Life Of A Pretty Busy Graphic Designer
A Day In The Life Of A Pretty Busy Graphic Designer is jooja!’s maiden attempt at short film. The story recounts a typical day of a creative person, who sometimes requires a longer gestation period than a elephant’s pregnancy to come up with creative ideas. ADITLOAPBGD was first screened at Goodman Arts Centre Open House in September 2012. Feel free to be brutal.
Objects
“Someday, those equipment are gonna crush you.” That’s what she said.
For the manja.
I’ve been giving this mate of mine hand-painted canvases, fugly twirly handwritten cards & randomness for his birthday since 5years back. This time, it’s a poster all framed up for the manja birthday boy by yours truly. Stay gay.
Happy Mother’s Day
I just stumbled on this video even though it’s been around for more than a year. Japanese- Jewish American, Sarah Kay recites her poem “B” at a TED Conference and got everyone including me emotional. If you love the video, now you can get the book.

Vicky and Sam
A sappy Hollywood romance gets Meta when scriptwriters discover an unexpected power.
After Vicky’s eyes meet Sam’s across aisles of DVDs in the video store, it’s only right that they should bump hips and—after a whirlwind romance of riverside walks and cute notes—fall in love. That’s the Hollywood formula. Predictable, functional, and stuffed to bursting with gooey mush, it pulls audience heart strings every time.
But not everything is as simple as first it seems.
We ate our sunday away
Chummies x Good food.
This is how a good Sunday is spent.
We drew over dinner
and dipped our markers in salsa sauce. Yumz.
Land of Oz
It feels like the heart of Australia when you walk around its base and within the great rooms.
Such a powerfully creative world icon

Opera House
The story behind this photo taken last year outside the Sydney Opera House:
There she goes again, tilting her ginormous camera in such a clumsy way with those small hands of hers. I can never comprehend why she loves capturing insignificant bits & pieces like that staircase there. Goodness gracious. It took me 5 decades since I was a little boy to see the opera house come alive from the postcards. Oh, now she realizes that me and mommy are waiting for her to snap.. 1, 2, 3 smile..
Aiya! Wrong footwear. Not so Glamorous. *laugh out loud.
TGIF
Let your hair down, mates! It’s TGIF!

How a book is designed from scratch.
Wicked. It’s pure inspiration to see how committed designers work & when hard work pays off. The designer who designed this annual report took 2 months worth of time to do quality research & thought process. (yes, !!!) He studied typography & the grid system and deem them as Math. A customized grid system & infographics with a twitch of perfection to fit all the information in nicely on to a 210 x 297 two dimensional space. I was just given a corporate book to scribble design on and hopefully I can pull off a beautiful piece of creation at the end of the day as well.
The unseen became visible
KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.
A must watch documentary for everyone. ‘Where you live shouldn’t determine whether you live.’

Field Notes: Red Blooded from Coudal Partners on Vimeo.
“The video has been created to promote the Red Blooded notebook which has been recently added to the Field Notes standard product line. The notebook that becomes a love letter: a further proof that life, love and commerce can intersect nicely.”
Boys, its time to ditch those sweet nothings. Girls, its time to send your bfs to a handicraft bootcamp before the next Valentine’s day arrives. Anyhow, adorable & beautiful promo video done by Field Notes.
