It’s not unusual to show up at Sukle to a gaggle of hairy four-leggeds. Folks like to bring their dogs on occasion to hang w/ us whilst we work away on our favorite clients. They seem to enjoy roaming the premises, and we get much enjoyment having them around. However, I believe we could get a lot more enjoyment from them if they all had rather large handlebar mustaches. Que drum roll: Humunga Stache dog toy.
As if we didn’t already love the Heads of State, now we want to have their babies. Kidding, but we stumbled across their travel poster series and just love ‘em. These guys rock!
How classic is the hair on fire with the Pepsi can? Awaiting the release of the MJ with his hand down Emmanuel Lewis’ pants doll. See more over at Cupco.

Ok, I realize I’m a bit behind on the news that Photoshop turned 20 (march 3rd). Can you believe it? 20! Most of us here at Sukle Advertising & Design spend quite a bit of time staring at our pal, Photoshop. So, we’d like to offer our good buddy a very Happy Belated Birthday, and here’s to 20 more good years of inserting our friend’s heads on funny pictures and other various pranks it allows us to do (not to mention all that work stuff we use it for, too).
Really like the looks of these ads, some more great work done by Goodby. I stumbled upon these while cruising the Lab Partners blog, as they seem to be the magic behind these beautiful illustrations. We at Sukle live our work lives by the adage that the idea is king. It’s what drives our projects and is what often keeps us sharp, mentally. But, as these ads prove, having a mind-bogglingly clever concept isn’t always necessary. Sometimes, just having a beautiful piece that conveys the message well is just as successful. Kudos folks, this stuff is really nice.
Was surfing around on Grain Edit and found a cool post about a poster show by Polish design unit Homework. I found the modern posters to be very nice. Nice to stumble upon these.
Interesting, although someone may have a little too much time on their hands.
“Over the course of several months beginning October 2008 to April 2009 I’ve spent some of my spare time between commercial projects searching Google Maps hoping to discover land formations or buildings resembling letter forms. These are the results of my findings limited within the state of Victoria, Australia.”
And if there’s any question whether or not these are actual locations, check the link for each individual letter after the jump for proof.
Goooooo Type!
These are some really cool minimal, modern posters for television shows that we all know and love, designed by Albert Exergian. Prints of these are on sale at Blanka. Boy, these things sure are easy on the eyes!
Post it notes line the pages of our Advertising and Design annuals. We constantly cruise these books of greatness and stick labels on pages we like, which means they get pretty darn full of random notes and papers. These grass blade versions of the ol’ standby would be a great improvement, and I know somehow there’s a great idea in them for our client, Denver Water. We focus a lot of our energy on trying to educate people about watering their grass properly, as outdoor watering accounts for 50% of total household water use. These guys could play into that in some sort of a guerrilla advertising sort of way. Maybe you’ll see them in our next campaign? Check them out here.
A really nice print made from all the ingredients in a ham and cheese Hot Pocket. Good stuff. Check it out here, by Justin Perricone
I love reading the ISO50 blog, as it’s always laden with great work, both by author Scott Hansen and others he writes about. I found this particular post about creative block to be quite interesting. He asked 25 prominent creatives how they deal with creative block. The following replies are interesting and quite varied. Take a look for yourself.
Nicholas Felton has released his Annual Report for ’09. Each one is an amazing piece of design, but more impressive is his dedication to keeping track of his daily encounters, meals, drinks, etc. Amazing stuff, and we’re guessing he’s quite the OCD case. I believe they are avail to purchase if you’d like a print of one of these beauties, but you can check the graphics here on his site if you want to, and I recommend you do.
I just downloaded Bumptop and I have to say, on first impression, I’m liking it. I watched a demo of a 3-d desktop on ted.com recently, and was amazed by the functionality and fun of it all. Surprisingly, almost all the features shown by the featured speaker on ted are included in this free mac 3-d desktop application. Watch the vid on the site, you’ll see how you can use all four walls and floor for storage, as well as stacking of files. Quite neato.
PS- just discovered in preferences that you can change the wallpaper for all walls and floor. Check in prefs, which you get to from icon on top bar in finder.
Wow, this installation of bouncy balls is quite stunning visually. Designed by Australian Nike Savvas, “Full of Love and Full of Wonder” represents the very atoms that are the fundamental structural units of all things.
When you view it from a distance, it almost looks like a hovering cloud of color, or an exploded abstract painting. But no matter where you view it from, it really appears to have an amazing optical effect. Would absolutely love to see this in person.
