Harcos Laboratories

Harcos Laboratories are an innovative company that creates food and drinks products based on those found in computer games and the like.  As they put it on their website they are making what was once considered fantastical a reality.

Their current range consists of Mana Energy Potion, Health Energy Potion, Love Energy Potion, Luck Energy Potion, Tiger Blood, Blood Energy Potion, Zombie Blood, Nuclear Energy Powder, Zombie Jerky and Adonis DNA.

I am currently waiting for my Blood Energy Potion to arrive.  After all this stuff has got to be tried.  It's supposed to have the same colour and consistency of real blood, and apparently contains many of the nutrients found in it too.  I guess I'll see what it's like for myself soon enough.

Oh and Blood Energy Potion also has its own website called Living With Bloodlust it's tongue in cheek :)

Macbook Cake

I so want this cake! Hear that people? I expect this to be my 21st birthday cake (yes I know its several months away)

This so totally has to be added to my macbook collection, I love it!

Okay maybe I'm a little Apple obsessed (or as I believe Paul put it, an Apple Whore) but who wouldn't love to have this as their birthday cake?

Frost Yourself Jewellery

A bracelet I made over the summer whilst helping my sister out with her jewellery company Frost Yourself.

I made the heart using pure silver clay.  Once I had worked the clay into the desired shape I left it to dry and then fired it on a gas hob.  Once fired the silver had a white coating which was removed with a wire brush.  After this the whole thing was filed and sanded smooth, and finally polished.

The bracelet itself consists of freshwater pearls.

Echoism

Echoism is a project by Julian Wolkenstein that tests the myth that symmetrical faces are more beautiful.  By splitting a photo down the centre and flipping it two separate symmetrical identities of the subject are created.  However it seems instead of making the 'perfect' version of the subject the creation of symmetry just seems to highlight the subjects flaws and create some slightly disturbing images.  See what you think.

Ace

The Ace of Hearts

I love this photo by GaiaShirley

The effect of the the Ace of Hearts being in focus while the other cards start to blur around it is awesome.  It really draws your eye to that specific card.  Props to anyone who gets the symbolism :)

20 Creative CV's

Francesco Mugnai's blog has a list of creative CV's, while I am not as enamored with them as I am with the list on Webdesigner Depot there are a few I like

DeviantART

Been updating my DeviantART account.  Adding more recent work and deleting old stuff.  Can you believe I've had the account for over four years?  Trust me it really showed!  Some of the stuff of there was really awful! I'm embarrassed that I ever posted it. Anyway now it looks more professional.

30 Examples of Creative CV's

Webdesigner Depot has a list of 30 creative and artistic resumes.  Inspiration for when I actually get round to designing my own creative CV.  It's on my to do list, honest! Anywho back to the CV's, some of my favourites

Once again I seem to be drawn more to simplicity and typographic designs

400+ Creative Business Card Designs

LogoDesignerBlog has examples of creative business cards.  Some of the designs are absolutely gorgeous but the one I like the best have kept their design simple.
