What Type Are You?

Check out Pentagram’s ‘What Type Are You?’ quiz. An interactive video quiz where a faceless shrink asks you a few questions to deduct what type you are.
I’m Bifur – rational, assertive, progressive and relaxed.
P.S. Don’t type your name in straight away – the shrink gets pretty fidgety haha
‘World Headquarters’ – Parliament

Parliament are a graphic design/creative agency in Portland, Oregon.
Upon checking out their website you’ll find not only are they a talented and accomplished graphic design/creative agency, they are also not too bad at interior design judging from the photographs of their studio fitout.
The DIY project allowed the team at Parliament, alongside carpenter Kyle Sharp, to create a space that reflected their aesthetic qualities while at the same time utilising salvaged and reclaimed materials such as old pizza ovens, street signs, crates, a 1930’s barn and a 20th century church.
I love the contrast that has been created between the original raw, industrial building shell and the warm character of the new timber elements. The stacked firewood walls are a standout and their collection of screen printed posters is awesome too!
Check out Parliament’s website here.

The Helsinki Cathedral in Helsinki, Finland. Designed by Carl Ludvig Engel.
I love this photo – it was as if the pigeon was reading my mind, placing himself perfectly in the photograph’s composition.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately – Most of my spare time the past month and a half has been taken up with a design competition entry that I have been working on. It’s all finished now so my resolution for February/March: More regular blog entries!

I found this video while cruising NOTCOT the other week. So inspirational – makes me want to get out my sketchbook, quit my job and become a graphic designer. It covers some useful creative tips for designers of any discipline.
Created by Rory O’sullivan and Simon Bruyn at Rethink Communications, the video was created to promote the 2010 Rethink Scholarship at Langara College in Vancouver, Canada.
via Rory O’sullivan and Simon Bruyn’s vimeo page.
The Rethink Scholarship website is just as cool as the video. Check it out here.
