Another japanese designer, Takashi Tsunoda, creates these little robot like creatures just from sets of pipes, hence the name Piperoids. The purpose of the piperoids, beyond entertainment and novelty of a collectors item, was to show people that there is still many ways to look at and shape the world and materials in it, as we come from a world where its so easy to create something.

His mottos are "teaching values through handcrafts" and "communication from hand to hand"

The link below is a website with an article all about the piperoids and it even has an interview with the otherwise reclusive Takashi Tsunoda

Design for screen - Duracell Bunnies

These videos show just how Duracell have taken the leap from animation with dolls to computer animation literally showing how much more they can do with the same bunnies.





The power to do more.

Design for screen - Citroen C4 Alive with technology

During this project I've discovered i have a a real love for robots especially ones that change and transform.

Design for screen - Ipod adverts

These Ipod adverts show how the ad campaigning has grown and developed as the commodity it self has as well as if the advert is keeping up or more so one step ahead to keep the target audience engaged. With each new model comes a new relation to the current music scene and industry and a fresh desire is born as the technology advances in some small and some big ways.

Design for screen - Sony Bravia advert. colour

what i'd like to know is how they manage to capture the rabbits in the air as if they really are running around. Very well done advert i must have been surreal to see it being made.





really nice advert and it made the song nationally famous as well as the product. Its a very great way to advertise something and i find it intriguing how the product is never seen. Good music can really add to the quality and mood of the advert.

design for screen - illustrations

Design for screen - paper animations

just wonderful. i wish i could get to this level of skill with folding and engineering paper and other such materials.

Design for screen - Music videos

This was done entirely with sand its brilliant but must be time consuming. I stumbled across it so i don't know exactly who the artist is or who the music is by.

Design for screen - T-shirts

Highly amusing apparently they only had one shot at it as they had a very limited budget.
