The reason why we havent blogged for so long is because we've been working hard on our latest campaign for Lynx Bullet. Take a look at our new page.....http://amandaandjoy.blogspot.com/p/daaammnn.html ( click at the daaammnn link at the top of the page)

"Celebrate Originality"

After hard work and no blogging, here you go!!
See how many celebrities you can spot...

Get your BICs out!

We are loving the work by Juan Francisco Casas, a Spanish artist who uses a biro and only a biro to create some amazing works. Next time you pic up your bic, get inspired!

So after taking a trip to the cinema on friday night to see Alice in Wonderland, we were not impressed!!
It was hyped up to be something it totally wasn't....it didn't follow all the true meanings of what we felt Alice in Wonderland meant to us when we were growing up!!
Although it didn't really follow the true story...Johnny Depp once again played an amazing part as the mad hatter...to be honest he made the film for us!! There were other funny characters, the white queen played by Anna Hathaway played the part amazingly, and we just couldn't get enough of her 'floating around, infact we floated home through Manchester.'Tweedle dee and Tweedle dum played by Matt Lucas were amazing, "I love my fat boys!!"

If only.....

These ads for Windows Vista by Y&R, Auckland speak for themselves. If only, our house was made out of a bouncy castle and we travelled around in a bumper car.

When apples just don't cut it

After a day of portfolio starting, scamp drawing, photo taking and amongst this the attempt to 'eat healthily' (does the sneaky wedges of birthday cake count?!) we took a well earned student break and caught up on the latest fashions. Although we're a bit behind on London Fashion Week, we felt the need to praise Mark Fast's decision to use size 14's on the catwalk.

So I was thinking as I love typography, can this relate to the male species??? Do you prefer a strong UPPER CASE serif type, or a lower case sans serif type??
Do you prefer a bold in your face type, or a less obvious weight variation, that can just say it all about themselves, without having to get all italic on you. Is large letterspacing, trying to over compensate for the fact that they have problems with their line length?
Are we all looking for that 6ft tall, dark hair, dark eyes man, or just a good size 12 font, serif, bold with a good ascender stroke and a nice lengthy descender?

Some love for Philip Castle

On searching for inspiration for Lynx we came across some works by Philip Castle. We're loving his Hi, (1973) purely for its sexy and lickable nature!
