We Have Mostly Been

Working on our entry for the D&AD digital workshops, which we submitted on Weds.
The brief was to persuade more football fans to purchase a replica shirt from the Nike online store rather than club shops.
Pissing around with stamps Wilf bought from FailBlog.


Developing some ideas we've had for our book and drinking lots of beverages, both alcoholic and non. The drinking bit has mostly been in the company of people who have some interesting things to say about advertising, including a rather fun first meeting with Sam and an eye opening chat with Alfred.

Thought For Today

Real people do real things that brands cannot without looking false.

So instead just help people with their stuff.

New Beginnings

So we spent a day at D&AD New Blood, which was rather helpful and attended some awesome workshops particuarly with the creatives from LBi who have a really interesting way of thinking which we liked. It was an informative day, allowing us to have a look at some of the other courses and have a chat with those grads that may be our peers in the years to come.

We also had a look at some of the work producued by those we inspire to work for at the 'Everyone starts somewhere' exhibition. It must be said that, some people complain that D&AD does not do enough for those trying to get into the industry, yet to us it seems like they provide the perfect platform for graduates to launch their careers from.

Then came our rather hot graduation day, something we've been looking forward to for the last year. After getting a taste for the industry with our dissertations and placement unit, we've been eager to finish the uni work so to just get some alone time with our book, and finally that time has come.
We've recovered from the hangover but not the sun burn.
Now onto the website and hard work.

Been very busy blokes recently with some interesting stuff going on. Firstly we both took a break after finishing our degree, visiting Valencia and Download.

Since then we've had crits with a few people, all whom have been honest and generous with their time and given us some good tips to improve all round. This last month has been full of personal commitments and the usual moving home issues. Yet tomorrow should be an eventful day, we're off to D&AD New Blood and are booked into several workshops which we hope will teach us a thing or two.

Whilst on Weds we're back in little Farnham to graduate, with the two of us both collecting first class degrees which makes us smile a bit. Once that's all over, we will finally say goodbye to our all consuming 'university' and move back home to south London. From then onwards, we will be much more regular with posts and hope to get the portfolio up to scratch.

We will also have our new website up very soon, which can't come soon enough. Maybe see you at New Blood, otherwise the next post may contain some stupid graduation pictures.

Dialogue: Our Degree Show

Our degree show is only a few weeks away (28th May) and we've been working very hard on it. It's something that we've been developing for the last eight months and hope to feel very proud of it when the opening night comes along. It's been a long process, which started with our fundraiser Deathmatch and has continued with the implementation of the show itself. We've been part of a central group that has been in charge of the management of the show and our mate Dave has done the design work for it, with us giving a helping hand.


This post is us inviting anyone who takes the time to read this blog to come along to the show and check out the site for everything you'd ever need. We built the site ourselves and have been in charge of all it's content. It is going to be a huge source for information and we have the intention of using it to create a dialogue with those in the industry. With this in mind, we've already managed to get Dan Germain from Innocent to write an excellent post about what counts when getting a job. We hope you feel compelled to share your thoughts with us on the site, we appreciate all advice. It's not just for us, it's for any Grad that is thinking about the joining a communications industry.

The show also has a Twitter and Skype account so that you can contact us however best suits you. If you can't attend the show, then you can always Skype us and you can have a chat to some of the students as we will have a live link for anyone that wants a chat. Just add: dialogueshow

The details of the show are in the image below which is actually the front of our invites, please note it down in your calender. If you'd like a PDF invite, just give us a shout and we'll send one over.

Screw The Card Complex

For one, most corporate business cards are crap. Agencies should let their staff have their own versions. Secondly, this site is really nice thought, it's dedicated to people who have done something positive after losing their job.

After all, the job shouldn't define you.
You should be defining the job.

Power To The Masses!

This post may be old news now, but we feel that this exciting breakthrough is well worth a mention as it could change the way that we use computers, our consumption rates and also the fate of electric cars. Read this for further information...
