Sustainable Design
UTI recently sent Shahnaz, one of our designers, down to a Sustainable Design workshop to learn more about how we can improve the way we work in sustainable terms. There's a little write up below with some links if you want to delve deeper.
But make sure you read the presentation Shahnaz has made from her notes. Good stuff.
It was pretty shocking to realise how much we don’t consider. It goes way beyond just recycling paper in the office.
The workshop was held by Three Trees Don’t Make A Forest a not-for-profit social enterprise set up by directors of three established and successful agencies – Sophie Thomas of thomas.matthews, Caroline Clark of Lovely As A Tree, and Nat Hunter of Airside.
It was a pretty intense 2 hour session of information, but I’ve attempted to collate as much as I could and share it with you guys. Please view the presentation at full screen if you can.

And if you want more on this topic go to Design Can Change and Greengaged.

Rare Equations
Much like the brilliant Indexed, Craig Damrauer has found a really good use for maths other than to count how much money you don't have.
This time it is equations. Like these:



Check the lot out here - well worth 5 minutes for a wry smile.

Too Sick

We know one of the 2 Sick Bastards crew. They make topical t-shirts. All good. Here is a new one called Britney Tears...
I really like their spiel which I've taken from their blog:
WTF?
We are not you, we're not just doin' it, we're not lovin' it and we are not the real thing. There's two of us, we're too sick and we're bastards - put simply, we are 2SICKBASTARDS. We create artwork, design T-shirts and generally make money out of other people's misery.
As many of you will already know, this planet is a sea of shit and we're wading through it to bring the best of the worst to you. We're not all negativity and cynicism though - we believe that children are the future (well, they're hard working and cost less), so free your minds and, if necessary, your bowels and live the nightmare...

It's not porn
Classic alert! This isn't strictly our favourite kind of adult read but it's mega funny.



I'm pleased I 'stumbled' across the blog the images came from as I remember these were flying around on email a couple of years or so ago.

Barcodes
It's easy to forget how good these graphic barcodes are from http://www.d-barcode.com/



They won a Titanium Lion in 2006 and deservedly so.
