Champagne Blue

Thanks!

Hello all!

A bit of a big update. My teammate and I worked together on the Astral Media Student Competition. Our entry happened to make it through the judging into the top 4.

All 4 are now online and open for voting. If you go to http://www.mytorontois.com you can pick your favourite poster.

The winning ad will be placed in TTC shelters across the city! Exciting.

Anyway, here’s ours, if you’re interested:

UPDATE: Razorfolio has been updated. Some coding errors were fixed, namely in footer.php and comments.php.

Well, I got a few questions about my Wordpress theme I’m currently using.

So I’m putting this theme up for grabs.

It’s going to be called RazorFolio

I love the ads coming out of South Africa. No, really, there are some amazing CDs doing some funny, funny work.

With their amazing take on selling furniture, I’m still always surprised by their web ideas. This fantastically classy website is an ad in and of itself. Go Ikea! START THE CAR! START THE CAR!

You know, I’m sorely tempted to reshelve all my books much like the Adobe bookstore. That is, to place books in order of colour and not author. Admittedly, I don’t have a bazillion books to mix and match and fit into the rainbow, but it sure does look inspiring.

One magazine ad, type only.

Always jealous of those guys who manage to not only work well with white speace, but can also make a point?

Well, jealousy’s bad, get over it. :)
