Regardless of anything else, I have to give props to Nellie Bly for willingly going into a mental institution for investigative journalism. I doubt the place was too nice (that was kinda the point of the assignment, I suspect). Anyway, kudos.

Something I would like to be able to achieve when I learn professionally. It's something that I've never really looked into until presently. I think it's awesome!

Stand out posters.

In today's competitive music industry, you need to do more to stand out. And stand out is exactly what upcoming band ‘Dry the River' did. Their beautiful 3D posters created quite a stir and featured across a number of well-known design and advertising blogs as well as receiving attention on the streets. 

The flat, poster component was beautifully screen printed by Bob Eight Pop in east London and the paper horse structures were designed in 3D using Google Sketch Up, before being printed out in their component parts and hand-assembled. Each horse structure took around 35 hours to complete.

Brands take note. I'm expecting to see a lot more of this come 2012.
