Mc Sundial



Nifty little changing billboard ad, would it be as good if it was simply a mains powered clock? Is it just a gimmick to use a sun dial??

Elementary Branding

Elements of branding

A warm(ish) welcome to branding, from branding experts Kolbrener, in the form of everyone's favourite periodic table. Seems like it's been referenced as a popular graphic format for a long time now (1, 2, 3), perhaps our fondest memory of the Periodic table is the schooltime discovery of The Elements Song...

Design Observer

Wow, we have been mentioned on the amazing Design Observer by Michael Bierut from the even more amazing Pentagram.
We have also been lucky enough to have had our site mentioned on lots of other sites, Notcot, the German Nerdcore, from Japan Akihitok and The Stlye Press to name a few. James & Joe are now truly global.

Vomit live on air (don't play if eating)



"A Swedish television presenter took standards of professionalism to a new level after she vomited live on air but continued with the show.

Eva Nazemson was hosting a late night phone-in game show on TV4 Plus when she suddenly took ill.

As a male caller tried to solve a word puzzle, Nazemson quickly turned her head to one side and vomited.

She disappeared off screen for a few seconds but quickly reappeared to continue with the phone-in.

Most viewers no doubt suspected she was recovering from a heavy drinking session but Eva was quick to clarify the reason for her sudden sickness.

She said: “I'm having period pains and they can make you feel really sick.""

Sorry but we just thought you all had to see that, not nice at all.

Catacombs of Paris

Spent a week in Paris recently and came across the amazing Catacombs. You walk for ages underground in claustrophobic tunnels, then emerge into spaces walled with bones. Something really different.

Tasty CV

Sweet idea to get noticed. Found this on the W+K London Blog
Only thing is it looks pretty dull and tasteless.
what about 2 tasty creatives and a cake in the shape of James & Joe? I'm sure you could push the idea further, might have a think about this one.
