Creativity Causes Laughter

Okay, not always, but definitely in this advert. The first time I saw it I nearly sprayed my desk with coffee!
It's the advert for a local fast food chain and in this series they name reasons why they love South Africa. They definitely always get it right with their ads!

How to be more creative

Reads and Links: Book Arts (Part 1)

Do you think every traditional – i.e. ‘dead tree’ book – is just a plain old block of paper with a cover?  Think again! The book arts are alive and well! And they have their own e-journal (which is free to download and read), making the world of bookbinding and book arts accessible to everyone with the right website address…

I give you The Bonefolder.

During the next couple of weeks I hope to showcase some of the best the book arts have to offer – small presses, handmade books and the people behind them. They show me just how out of the box a book can be and gives me a chance to re-think the creative spark behind a few random ideas… You don’t need a lot of words to tell a whole story.
