More Four

This is the vibrant new ident for More 4 created by Design Agency ManvsMachine. After winning a competitive pitch, Channel 4 commissioned ManvsMachine to create a new brand identity and on-air look for More4. I love the use of bold colours and the flips and folds of the logo which are used to represent the vibrant nature of the channel with its board range of programmes including food culture, fashion and interiors.  I'm looking forward to see the brand working on air but if like me you can't wait to have a look you can get a sneak peek at the commercial ident's here as well as looking at Man Vs Machines other lovely work.

Under water love

 

I'm loving these magical images taken by American photographer Neil Craver, the female sillhouettes create beautiful shapes underneath the twinkly sun dappled water making me want to jump into my cossie and go for a swim. Its a lovely study of the human form under the floaty effect of emerald liquid and bubbles. To view more of his work just click here.

Lighten Up

I love these quirky light bulbs designed by Plumen - 'The worlds first designer energy saving light bulb' - so not only do they look great but they also save energy! I especially love the bulb being used in the desk light, it's a lovely finishing touch which I might have to add to my own lamp - making the bulb also the design feature rather than just the shade.

Kitten Kisses

I love these quirky little lipsticks from Paul & Joe, the colour's are lovely and the pretty retro packaging adds a bit of fun to your make-up bag! Whats more they feature my fave - CATS! the only down side, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to use them and ruin the way they looked! If you're more than happy to use them then you can purchase them here

Flower Power

I love these images taken by photographer Kari Herer. They are so pretty and delicate and would make a large impact on anyone's wall. As well as antlers creating great artwork the other great thing about them is they drop off every year and grow back bigger so no animals are harmed to create these lovely images - another purchase perhaps? I will soon be running out of wall space!

Dem Bones

I've always had a thing for skulls - a bit strange I know but like I've mentioned before I find that they can create very interesting shapes and can be used in a variety of ways to create beautiful jewelery, fashion and artwork. My friends obviously know me very well and for my birthday I received this lovely little book all about skulls and also a crystal vodka skull head shot glass! Both of which I absolutely love! If your as fascinated as me about skulls it's a good little book to purchase, one I shall be drawing some inspiration from in the future.

Oh Christmas Tree

 

The V&A has to be one of my favourite museums in London and I am especially loving their very unusual Christmas Tree this year! It's very simple yet elegant and looks rather effective in the grand entrance of the museum, bringing a bit of design flair to the festive season! 

Spine Tingling

 

 

I love the handmade crafted jewelry of Ayaka Nishi - particularly loving her 'bones' collection and this amazing spine bracelet. I've always been fond of bones and skull type jewelry, slightly morbid I know but I've always thought that they look really effective. This bracelet is combined with coyote bones and snake's spine to create this intricate looking piece of jewelry. I want this, I need this - I have to have it to add to my ever growing collection, but with a price tag of just over a grand I think I will need to get saving!
