Coincidence?

Notice any similarity?

Wonder who copied who? But I think that Apple's advert came out first...

Look how buu-tiful it is...

The Apple iPhone has arrived! And it's so amazing, I want one can't believe I have to wait until Christmas!

It's touch screen and knows when you twist it and when it's near to your ear. It's a 8gb iPod, it's got amazing graphics, really fast and smooth, and loads of other stuff. I applaud apple; they make some stunning revolutionary products...

Beautiful stop-frame, just wish I could slow it down to look at everything in particular.

Found Some Typefaces

2007-01-03T11:54:00.000Z

Left: 1, Right:2.

1: This is one font I found flicking through Grafik. Really love the simplicity of this one. You can buy this one, and there is a free version around called ER Univers 866, which is the one I used for the logo for the blog!

2: I absolutely love this font! You can't buy it or download it or anything so you just have to look and appreciate. Love the play with positive and negative space! This was featured in CR Dec 06 and was used for the promotional material for the 'Exhibition in Mono' (video) (poster). Also this is what inspired me for my Full Up thing...

This is an idea I came across during the development of one of my college projects.

My Xmas and New Year

2007-01-02T13:49:00.000Z

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all had a good one.

I have to say that my holidays have been amazing. Loved every minute of it and no regrets. Got some great presents... my best one being the little people in the picture above. My very good friend Crystal bought this for me. I was so happy when I opened it because I said to her that that was the one present that I really wanted but I didn't think that it could be bought! But it didn't come in any packaging, so it's still a mystery where it came from! Very cool present, don't you think?
EDIT: Oh btw, if you're wondering what they are.... it's the toy from the Orange adverts here in the UK, about unlimited texts and calls.

There were some great parties too. Furthest back, middle of December I had a house party when parents were out of the country. That was one amazing party! Lots of dancing and too much drinking! lol :)
Then Charlie had some people over and that was a nice evening too. And Lewys invited some of us along to his friends New Year's Eve Party, which was OK. I drank way too much though.... I partially blame Charlie and Nathalie, because after polishing off a bottle of champagne at home, two cans of cider, I poured them a gin and tonic each. They decided they didn't like them so I finished all three of them off. Everything went down hill after that thanks to a few more ciders and some wine... lol. I won't be drinking that much in a long time. Give it 7 days lol!

Michelle's party next week... looking forward to it! See you all there hopefully! :D
