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.

A stop motion test for Vans “off the wall” campaign

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.

Going back to the skating roots. Bringing back so much memories…. waaakkaka

Our company trip to Bali, Indonesia. Some test shots using Canon HF11 and Nikon 35, 50 lens. No tripod. Will Remember that next time.

Finally some time to create a design after a year! What if we were to recreate the chinese propaganda images of the 80’s, using the tools and trends of today? This is my interpretation. A piece called “Little Visitor in Space”

An interesting project we have undertaken for HP. HipHop dancing in Beijing. Coming soon, details later. Here are some pictures of the characters that we created and motion capture of dancers that we did in a mo-cap studio. Fun!

Made a short trip to thailand, visited the Propaganda shop and then headed over to a design/production house in the outskirts of bangkok. They were comprised of former founders of Propaganda. The four partners, are known in the company by the name of  Mr Black, Mr Orange, Mr Red and Mr Pink. Each colour corresponds to a department in their company. Interesting. Reservoir dogs?
