Getting It Out

You have no idea how long this bag has taken me!  On and off over 2 months to get right so the flap works, the darts create the right curve around the bottom and for it to hang right.  I finally did it today - get in! It doesn’t look that much now as this pic […]

It’s only taken 2 and a half years but finally the technology has caught up to allow me to post the ‘Dangerous Ryan’ rally video I shot and edited back in 2005. It was just a bit of laugh - had a great day out and Ryan showed off his skills!

From the genius that was Maid Marian and Her Merry Men.

It seems that since the end of the festive season we have all managed to fill our waking, and sometimes non-waking, hours with more stuff than writing posts on Gettingitout will allow. A lot has happened in the past few weeks and a lot is still to come and, with a little bit of time […]

This vid got me… I must be behind the times or the skateboard industry must be, has been and most likely always will be a bit ahead of us. This is the invisible skate board section of a film called ‘Yeah Right!’ by Girl/Chocolate Skateboards. Released back in 2003. I love it, and the soundtrack is […]

I’m a fan of the CD. Forget this mp3 digitally download marlarky, I like the physical. And more so, CD cover design. This design for Efterklang’s album “Under Giant Tree’s”, shows that the CD and CD design go hand in hand and is far from dead. The CD has a puzzle in the […]

So you have a selection of Post-It notes laying around, what’s the logical thing to do with them? That’s right, cover the front of a building and get passer-by’s to write their ‘to-do’ lists’ on them. Great work by Illegal Art, a New York based public art collaborative.

So, this is technically not graphic design/web design, but it’s design, and thats enough. Designer Joey Roth has enveiled his new tea-pot titled ‘Sorapot’. Simple, elegeant and beautifully designed, it takes tea making to a whole new level. I think i’ve just found an addition to my christmas list.

With the party season nearly upon us and off the back of last years Bling Bling style comes the next installment of Absolut’s ‘flavours’. This years theme is Disco and the GIO vodka of choice comes fanastically protected in its own disco ball esque hard shell. Not only that, the accompanying website is disco heaven and […]

As a designer and a fan of all thing’s print, sometimes I go off on a tangent so extreme it takes me until next week to find my way back when creating new ideas. Croatian agency Bruketa & Zini? have pretty much gone down this route, only to find something so so sweet. It’s a annual report […]

Rant time! I was doing the hamster impression in the gym yesterday watching MTV (with my own music playing on my headphones thankfully) when a video that looked strangely familiar came on… It was the video for ‘Waiting For’ - DJ Peter Gelderblom’s lacklustre and unintelligent bastardisation of the Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s ‘By […]

As a designer, it is widely regarded that for every good client you have there is another handful, waiting round the corner, ready to ruin your day by massacring the brochure you have spent hours working on. However, coming the the aid of the client, with tongue firmly wedged in cheek, is the new makemylogobigger cream. Eliminate […]

Sometimes, just sometimes, my W810i takes some great shots. Thomas 29th October 2007, originally uploaded by gettingitout.

I posted a video I took at the Chemical Brothers gig in Trafalgar Square recently. The proper version of the gig footage has made its way onto YouTube now and man… don’t you half get a sensation of what it was like to be there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch-rHMlAnUw

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be mortally offended….. very very very foul language ahead you have been warned… now press play you ****ing **n*.

Well Sunday 9/9/07 was and landmark day. Little bro Josh moving out of home and off to university. So as a bit of a send off we headed to London for the Becks Fusion Chemical Brothers gig at Trafalgar Square. Man oh man… what a gig. The visuals were absolutely stunning and the Chems rocked! ;-)
