AD!DICT LABS. REACH BEYOND YOUR INDUSTRY.

Ad!dict Labs is probably one of my favorite...I don't really know what they are. In essence, they're a great source of inspiration. I've seen a lot of companies try to do what Ad!dict Labs does. It's got a lot of great information on design, technology, trends, art, architecture etc. All the "inspiration books" are beautifully designed. All the articles are also beautifully written. Anyway, this magazine completely complements and supports what I'm trying to do with my new agency - look beyond our own industry to learn and appreciate everything beyond our comfort zone, and perhaps one day, use it.

Look into this guys. It's worth 30 seconds of your free time. Here are some sample spreads and here's the website: http://www.addictlab.com/index.php/labfiles

A MAN CHOOSES. A SLAVE OBEYS.

If you own an Xbox, there's no doubt you already own this game or at least heard of it. I've never seen a game implement so much art. There's so much detail in the game, and I'm not talking about textures. I'm talking about the art deco city of Rapture, the paintings hanging on the walls, articles in newspapers, the voice talent and the music.

The most impressive aspect of the game is the script. Here's a sample from the intro of the game.



They made good choices making this game. It's flawless.

OFFICE SPACE.

What a privilege it was to work at such a fine agency working with the best of the best, honing in on your creative skills. What really helps is the creative atmosphere the agency invests in. It really suggests "work is play." Imagine going to work where you can wear shorts and flip flops, ride a scooter or a bicycle to your meeting, doodle all day long...ahhh.
