A while ago I gave my favourite childhood toy a bit of an analysis after losing faith in its severely gendered stereotype toys and, thankfully, found that it was slowly marching back in the right direction to becoming a unisex toy (read the previous blog post here). It will never hold the genderless uniqueness it had when I used to play with it as a kid, but by introducing new sets, minifigs and revising materials used in production Lego may actually become an inspiration to both children and the corporate world.

The Modern Divide
Nowadays, our habits define us into “2 kinds of people” and for some bizarre reason, that “other kind of person’s” habits drives us completely up the wall. Confusion. Disruption. Inefficiency. Sometimes even disgust. We are left baffled at how that person could possibly do something so… so… well, slightly different. Portuguese artist João Rocha has captured this in a clever series of graphics defining the simple things that create the modern divide in a tumblr collection called 2 Kinds of People.

McDonalds for hipsters
The fast food giant we associate with happy meals, junk food and guilty pleasures has taken a turn for the better, or at least, I think for the better. With the increase in cyclists – caused by the rise of hipsters, healthier lifestyles, sustainable living and, well, bus prices – good old Maccy D’s has launched a new campaign for their drive through system in Copenhagen, Denmark and Medellín, Colombia. The McBike. Continue reading “McDonalds for hipsters”

Times have been hectic and the end of my grad scheme is currently rushing towards me. After 9 months experience in the industry, I had a look back at my blog and thought: time for a rebrand. Continue reading “Little Lemon Studio Rebrand”
Coffee Ground Coffee Cups
Waking up in the morning can be a chore for many of us, but with the help of our caffeine fix we can be ready to tackle the day ahead. Just a little cup of coffee is all we ask for… That’s around 500 billion cups of coffee a year. Now imagine how many coffee grounds that adds up to. Yeah, I know… tons. That’s why Julian Lechner, a German designer, has turned coffee grounds into coffee cups. Continue reading “Coffee Ground Coffee Cups”
Inspiration in the fields
If you read this blog regularly, you will know that I have left Brighton and ventured to Dorset to brave the working world for the first time. As someone who grew up in the city, I did find it all very strange coming down to the countryside and my city friends quickly nicknamed my current location as ‘The Land of Cows and Sheep’. The slower pace, the whispering winds and colossal cliffs are all regular features here. Awe is the word that comes to mind when I witness this scenery, but for others, it is inspiration.

The Backpacker’s Journal: The Warmth of Colour
I have just returned from a fantastic trip to Malta with my beloved sister. This small, historically and gastronomically rich country sits in between Italy and North Africa which gives the traveller (who is on a quest for sunlight) a glimmer of hope that they can find a sunny winter location in Europe. Continue reading “The Backpacker’s Journal: The Warmth of Colour”
Happy New Year my Tech Savvy Fellows
The New Year has rolled in and 2015 gives us another chance to up our game from 2014’s design, engineering and technology successes. After having a quick read of The Telegraphs technology forecast (click here for it), I became particularly interested in ‘The Smart-Home’. Continue reading “Happy New Year my Tech Savvy Fellows”
So many things so little time…
The Christmas rush is swamping the streets of cities and, out here in the countryside, the so-called ‘busy’ lanes are bustling with an excitement that can only mean one thing. It’s time to get festive! Continue reading “So many things so little time…”
A step into the countryside
I need to apologise for how long it’s taken me to get back to my blog, but I can tell you that I’ve had a bit of a roller coaster of a time since I finished Uni. I thought I’d share with you what I’m up to now and then I’ve got a line of little things to share with you all! Continue reading “A step into the countryside”
