Tube Map

Recently the London Underground pocket tube map has had a new cover designed for it, this was designed by Barbara Kruger. The new cover has took away the station names and replaced them with one-word words that relate to that part of the city for the artist.

This is a nice idea to have for instance Embankment has been replaced with Brilliance. This is probably down to the amazing architecture around that part of London . . . that's how I see it anyway.

Overall this is a good idea for a new cover, it could lead to more opportunities. You could get the public sending in their own versions of this and the most popular ones could lead to another new cover.

Ambient Media

These are a collection of some ambient media that I have come across and I think are really powerful.

These are all strong pieces of work, which have made me go . . . 'I wish I was the one who came up with that idea.' The animal piece which looks like that the pole has stabbed the animal to kill it is a very powerful piece of work which gives such a strong message out even if you don't read what the ad is about.

The Vix bus shelter ad is a very clever idea. I like how they've made out that when the the person breathes up/in it's that powerful and clear the whole ad moves.

Graffiti Snake

Recently I was researching into graffiti as this is something what appeals to me.

Upon my search I came across this image of a snake what someone had done in America.

When I stumbled upon this, I was like wow, I really like this. No, it's not the best drawing of a snake or the most detailed, but how many times do you see a snake interacting with a stair case?

I really like how this person has interacted his art into an element what's around everywhere. This makes the piece more fun and creative instead of a simple painting on a wall.
