Unfortunately, It's still January

The beginning of January has been really busy at work, so although I have been exhausted, the time has been flying by. There are lots of exciting projects happening at the moment, and I am really looking forward to what we have in the pipeline. 

The circle of no life

This advert from Greenpeace takes the iconic opening scene from The Lion King and reworks it, so all the animals disappear, showing what could happen if we keep treating wildlife and the environment as we do. Greenpeace is renowned for it's thought provoking campaigns and this one definitely lives up to their reputation. Taking a children's classic and given it a sinister spin really drives their message home. Check it out here:

It's really been that long?

Continuing with The Lion King theme, this article shared last week shows albums and films that will be 20 years old in 2014. Being born in 1992, I recognise some of these from watching or listening at an older age, and I myself can't believe that some of these have been around since 1994. The Shawshank Redemption is a film that I love to watch and I recently saw Leon, The Professional. This article shows that if something is a classic, it will never go out of date.

The power of timeless creativity

For the ad to promote the iPad Air, Apple used a speech from the Dead Poets Society to demonstrate and highlight the iPad's creativity. It begins with an amazing line: "We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry, because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion." I love the theme for this ad, and the beautiful scenic shots accompany the beautiful words perfectly.

Juicing!

I have recently bought a juicer and have been enjoying some lovely fresh fruit juices. Even though it is a nightmare to clean, it is a great way of enjoying some fruity goodness. Here are some pictures of the finished articles!
