It’s all in the game – The Wire Monopoly

Yes! The Wire Monopoly! The third best TV show of all time (The West Wing and Seinfeld if you’re asking) just works so well as a board game – it’s all about corners. Unless you haven’t watched the show, in which case you’ve got bigger problems than just missing out on fully understanding one blog [...]

The Little Apple – New York as Toytown in The Sandpit

We first showed a tilt shift movie with the video Little Big Berlin and this film, which makes shots of New York seem like a toy town is also a must-see. Surely it’s only a matter of time before this technique is brought to wider public attention in a music video, advertisement or film – [...]

A little creativity and landscape blots become truly poetic

Architecture firm Choi + Shine has submitted the following entry for an Icelandic pylon design competition. This should just happen. Worldwide. Now. These beautiful giants come in variable poses and, they claim, only require slight alterations to existing pylon designs too! Just genius.

Lifetime Collective’s unexpected new video

The du jour brand for hipsters. Lifetime, started as a DIY basement outfit and have steadily progressed to creating full collections. Watching this video shows they still haven’t lost their edge. It’s nice when brands mess with clichés.

Pimp my pressie!

Yo! Wanna be the flyest gift-giving brother/sister on your block? D’ya feel me? Thought not. Loving this Rapping Paper though. A pun/typo mixed with famous rap lyrics and you have yourself an instant Paperchase classic! See more here.

There are three things worth noting about this short film. 1 There’s an innovative theory on how different people and cultures view the world. 2 It’s really well animated. 3 This Zimbardo man is the famous chap behind the Stanford Prison Experiment

If Comic Sans Could Speak

McSweeney’s is a brilliant site at the best of times but this imagined sideswipe at designer elitism from Comic Sans is genius. WARNING TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF POTTY-MOUTHED LANGUAGE Sample Quote: It doesn’t even matter what you think. You know why, jagoff? Cause I’m famous. I am on every major operating system since Microsoft @£$%ing Bob. [...]

Diehard with a letterpress

Innovation and inspiration are what we like to see on welovecreative and often that means that new technology is involved, simply because it’s easy to be innovative with new tech. When people get innovative with tech that’s nearly 600 year’s old that is mightily impressive. Which is why we’re fans of Stukenborg who have created [...]

Sew cool

The craft contingent (the Creativity & Coats crew) at F+ were most intrigued by this amazing sewing maching – the Leitfaden. Not only does it project the sewing pattern on to the fabric, it has an in-built inking system to match the colour of the yarn to your fabric… we kid you not, all you [...]

Amazing Folding Bike

There are a lot of issues with this bike…. but on an initial viewing it’s amazing. Just don’t ask where the chain is or why you never see it folded back together just a shot of unfolding it played backwards. I’d have one though and if it came with panniers it could be a shopping [...]
