Following up on my last post, I had a dig through Yes Studio's website and they've done some really nice work, particularly in the areas of music and art. I'm a firm believer in the theory that a designer or agency's portfolio should reflect the type of work they want to be doing, and I reckon Yes Studio's portfolio is a great example of this. There's probably some more mundane work going on day–to–day to pay the bills, but there's no reason why anyone has to know.


“Conceived as a reaction to the glut of new bands called 'The... ', Yes Studio created a list of 99 classic band names prefixed with ‘The’”

Excellent artwork by Yes Studio for The Stands’ 2005 album. I especially like the fact that it's called “Horse Fabulous” – it's almost enough to make me buy it despite the fact that I don't even like the band.

Once upon a time, if you were working for the British Antarctic Survey you'd be pretty isolated from the rest of the world. Now we have the interweb, you can create a piece of eerily appropriate music to your setting, (largely based on objects you found lying around the place) and upload it for all the world to hear and see. Now that's progress.

It's not often you get a chance to show the “unboxing” of a book. My eagerly awaited copy of “Things I have learned in my life so far” by Stefan Sagmeister arrived yesterday and I was delighted to discover that it was not merely a book, but lots of little books in a lovely die–cut box.

Genius video for the 2008 remix of Utah Saints’ Something Good. Expect to see the running man on a dancefloor near you from this weekend onwards.
