Made a trip to Portugal with friends, was there to attend the offf conference. It was quite an interesting show. Who impressed me at the conference were Digital Kitchen, Neville Brody, Chris Milk, PEZ, James Peterson + Amit Pitaru and Stefan Sagmeister. Portugal itself was interesting, the city was filled with really cool and old architecture. While there, I came to realize that egg tarts from HongKong are actually from Portugal.

It shows how much of our world depends on technology. It also shows what these people have created has touched or changed our life’s in someway, doesn’t matter if we are conscious of it or not.
We had an interesting idea for North Face China. Instead of building a website to promote their products, we decided to build a tool that would be useful to the community. Through this experience users will be able to excess the range of products too. This tool makes it easier for the community to explore their environment. It will kick start their adventures for exploration.

An “Off the wall” campaign for Vans. These were a set of print and interactive work for VANS. The idea was based on the fact that the brand was rooted in skateboarding culture.
We played on the insight that skateboarders interacted with the street and their environment. The idea we had fell nicely into their slogan “Off The Wall”. We tried to bring that out in the prints and web experience. In the print below you can see the interaction between the people and the street through simple chalk drawings.
