If you’re a Mac user and haven’t tried FluidApp, I would highly recommend you do. In short, it creates applications out of websites using webkit (I think) and it works great for Google Wave and Google Mail – even with a ‘new!’ badge that shows up on the dock icon showing how many new messages you have.
I made a Google Mail icon for it (above), in case you’re having trouble finding one. Feel free to use it, copy it, change it, share it, etc.
So I started learning After Effects a couple weeks ago. It was a pretty shallow learning curve thanks to years of Photoshop and Illustrator, and a few dips into Flash and Director. Going more complex will need a faster machine, and I really look forward to doing some amazing motion graphics in future.
Don’t fashion, jewelry and fragrance companies do this giant woman thing all the time? This time, Viktor & Rolf:
I really like the BBC logo. It’s so simple, and the squares make it super-adaptable to fit pretty much any application. I’ve never seen the guidelines so I don’t know how far you can push it, but it’s definitely push-able.
This photograph by Dan Tobin Smith of the logo in lightbox form is fantastic. It has all of my favourite things in art and photography – lines, perspective, ‘head-on flatness’, a wide tonal range, etc.
It’s… just lovely.
I didn’t know there was a ‘South Shoreditch’ next to Hoxton… Doesn’t that make Hoxton ‘North Shoreditch’? I’m a bit confused and will look at a map.
Anyway, I quite like this bit of pavement signage. It’s on Clifton Street EC2.
So, there’s this new make-your-own-t-shirt-and-sell-it website over at teepay.com. It was set up by Howie’s, who are quite cool in different ways.
Anyway, hopefully the t-shirts I made (above) will be available to buy in the next day or two so you should probably buy one. 20% of my measly royalties will got to Teenage Cancer Trust, in memory of my cousin Cait Brown. High five Cait.
Not much more to say, but there it is!

Well, my pretty terrible pajama trousers have finally made some friends as I travelled around London photographing some Home Bodies this weekend.
All of the subjects photographed will appear on my photography portfolio site, here [link].
And, don’t forget, if you’d like to take part, please e-mail spencerphotography [at] gmail.com and I’ll get in touch to arrange a date and time.
(Failing that, I might just show up on your doorstep at 10:30am on Sunday with a take-out full English breakfast and some Alka-Seltzer.)
