    I’ve always driven past billboards/ads/posters and eagerly scanned their content for some form of inspiration to bring to my day. But it seems that beer advertisements with half-naked models, realestate billboards with cheesy agents and towering fast food burgers just aren’t cutting it for me.

    I won, I won, I won!!!! Can you tell that I’m super excited? It’s because I’ve won $300 worth of ASOS gear for free! In the words of one wise Charlie Sheen I think that makes me a “#biwinner”. “#epicwinning” indeed! After I ‘liked’ ASOS on Facebook – one of the largest online fashion retailers which…

    Because of my retail background, I was drawn to this story by Jade Warne, featured in the Shop til you drop magazine, which I have temporarily stolen from my daughter, who has never forgiven me for leaving the retail industry. Why do clothes cost what they do? How do you know if the price is…

    Eclectic alternative rock heroes, the Flaming Lips, have always been known for their creative approach.

    Nothing screams “rubbish day” like row upon row of bleak grey bin bags piled along the curb. But what if we could take those boring (and let’s face it, depressing) bin liners and create art from waste, at least until the rubbish collection truck finally makes its way to the front gates or sidewalks? Well the…

    Apple’s strong marketing campaigns, amazing hardware and great software have definitely been stealing the technological spotlight almost to the extent where (and I don’t mean to start arguments about this) people seem to be forgetting all about Microsoft and what they have been up to. So I would like to take the time to talk…

    OK, so I have written about racing helmet designs, but now, I would like to do a post about racing car designs this time. I will specifically be talking about the V8 Supercar Championship car liveries for 2011. A great livery this year, is the Jack Daniels Racing cars. They have not really changed their…
