The Brilliant creative team blog

I love seeing how different design agencies tart up their studio spaces, kind of like how women feel it necessary to take a sneeky tour of your home when they come round.

Check out Pons and Hout, they have pod style work spaces and actual trees growing inside, crazy bastards!

Where We Design is a website that showcases some of the best in the business.

A lovely little animation to brighten up your day.

This is an awesome video of artist iNO in action, truly a talented son-of-a with a paint can or two. Beautifully shot by sectiongraphix.

YumYum are finally releasing their awesome 5 piece toy collection in August and for only £60!

They have created this ridiculously good short to promote them, check it out whilst I sofa dive for spare change...

This is a fantastic animation by Jasmin Lai about a girl who doesn't know what she wants to be when she grows up. Imagining many future possibilities and yet feeling unsatisfied so she decides to not worry and just be herself. (at least this is my take on the story.)

We were checking out a new radio station on itunes in the studio this week, Buzzoutroom.com filled with loads of awesome downbeat breaks, blips and bleeps. On their website I found this video which really had nothing to do with anything except it used a ninja tune track over the top of it, but seriously, give this a watch!

The guy creates a truly fantastic portrait of his dad using dots... a couple of million dots actually and all hand drawn... with one pen. I can't remember the last time i put more than a few hours into a piece of artwork before calling it a day, but 210 hours is some mental dedication.

Everyone knows of Red Bulls ability to put on an awesome event from the Soap Box Race to the Air Race but did you know they put on break-dancing battles, nope me either.

Hamburg based agency Sehsucht has put together this amazing animation to promote the event with an incredible style and execution.

This is a series from the Lego campaign: Imagine, created by Jung Von Matt using single column stacks of colored Lego that represent iconic TV characters from our childhood. An extremely simple and clever idea that is executed perfectly... can you "imagine" who they are?

Dancing Coca-Cola bottles promo by Korb for the Eyeka co-creation community contest in 2010. Treated more as an iconic object, red topped white glass bottle with brown drink inside. This is what happens when a legendary image meets sounds of the harp in sterile neutral space.

Martin Schoeller is a New York based photographer hailing from Germany whose style is distinguished by similar treatment of all subjects whether they are celebrities or unknown, capturing them with a slightly embellished visual representation of their personality traits.

It seems that there is nothing Martin can't get people to do which ultimately ends in a fun insight into the subject.

His most recognizable work are his portraits, shot with similar lighting, backdrop, and tone. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, Outside Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, GQ, Esquire, and Vogue.
