Newspaper Club
I discovered newspaper club at the Design Awards at the Design Museum in London. It was featured in "Brit Insurance Design Awards'. I am really fond of the idea of taking down down at a printers to publish more newspapers at a lower cost. Helping anyone to make their own newspapers.
Joshua Allen Harris
Joshua Allen Harris has been cutting up and sticking together bin bag to make all sorts of different animals and mythical monsters. Joshua then goes to the subway outlets on the streets and sticks them down. When a sub passes it forces air up into the bags inflating them, whilst the train passes. My favorite is the air ape.

ggg Books
I was on the Unit Edition website when I was made aware of ggg Books in Japan. The books are 135x190mm, and 64 pages long. There is 92 in the entire series. The books use high end paper using Japanese printing techniques. All the book are uniformed with a coloured bellyband. The book have a short essay which is in both Japenese and English. GGG stands for Ginza Grpahic Gallery.
Ox Tales: Art on Boxes
To raise funds for Oxfam projects in Africa, asked 14 leading artists. To produce a box to house short stories of the four eements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
As a way of raising either more money Oxfam produced a number of limited edition boxes asking artist to sign the boxes.

Haiti Posters, Pentagram
Pentagram's harry Pearce and Justus Oehler have contributed poster designs to the Haiti Project. I think these two poster are the most successful in the series. All proceeds go to the Haiti Project.
I really like the idea of the Richter Scale magnitude spelling out Haiti then the earthquakes hit.

McCann Manchester, Cheshire Safer Roads
McCann have done a road safety campaign for drink driving for Cheshire Safer Roads. I really liek the idea of using a stamp in a club as they do not wash off for along time, and when you go in a club every gets on so everyone will be aware of the campaign.
Nike, Tiger Woods
Nike finally wheels out Tiger Woods after his post-scandal tournament. You can see Tiger Woods looking sad, starring straight into the camera. You can hear the late Earl Woods Seniors voice in the background speaking asking him questions. "I want to find out what your thinking was, I want to find out what your feelings are, and, did you learn anything?"
I really like the thinking behind the advert.
