The Sartre Wars

If only Star Wars actually was like this.

Good design & photography from around the web

I decided to do a bit of browser bookmark spring-cleaning today and whilst doing so I spotted quite a few things that I found interesting or visually appealing so I thought I’d share them on here.

I’ve tried to credit the creators where possible, but sometimes with sites like Ffffound, this just isn’t possible.

I hope you see something that inspires you.

New Old Spice “Jungle” Ad – Have they lost it?

Old Spice – Jungle Wilderness by be_motion

I discovered today that there’s a new Ad out in the Old Spice series which we’ve been tracking here at Flint & Tinder for a while: the ads, the spoof.

I have to admit, I don’t like this new one for a multitude of reasons which include:
1) The new guy – he’s just not as good
2) The way he walks is ridiculous
3) The amount of CGI that is noticeably used in this new ad.

Overall I don’t really think this is that effective and damages a lot of the hard work done by the old ads. I guess it goes to show (see subsequent Cadbury’s ads after the “Gorilla”) that a good idea should only be milked for so long.

What do you think?

Tailored Entertainment Website Launched

Another day at Flint & Tinder and another website launched. This time it is for Hampshire based entertainment and events management company Tailored Entertainment.

Aside from the website design, we also re-branded the company and undertook a few print design projects including business cards and a promotional leaflet.

We’ll be posting up a case study of the whole process soon over on the Flint & Tinder site soon, but in the meantime, please have a look at the site below and let us know what you think!

I stumbled across this site recently and thought I’d share it with you.

The site does pretty much what it says on the tin.
