Rob’s with us on loan from the Portland office. (See below.) We’ve given him a nice cosy spot in our padded cell so he can settle in.

I managed to stumble across this leaked press release for the next level Oyster card TFL are introducing…

“This first major update to the Oyster card since its release will revolutionise the way our customers use their cards to travel. The new system utilises the latest advancements in facial recognition technology as well as voice recognition technology to avoid the need for any card in their wallet at all.. The new card will be renamed “OyStar!” which is also the word, individually coded to each person, that you speak to the upgraded readers once contact with a cheek is detected. We see this as only the beginning of what the new OyStar card will let us do”

It goes on…

“It wont be long until passengers will “upload” their dreams onto the device on their way to work, and “download” important information like what time coronation street is on whilst they travel home (from work)”

It’s all about Oystar..

Mad two weeks

These last two weeks we’ve been working hard on a project and it’s been really interesting. We wish we could tell you about it because it’s the most amazing and huge project, which is outside of advertising but everything to do with communicating, but we can’t really say too much at this stage.

We’re learning new skills and it’s testing us as a group and also teaching us a lot about how to think on our feet- the project has changed a lot from when we started working on it but it’s meant lots of chances to get involved and contribute ideas.

We’ve looked at inspiration from all sources and tried our hands at writing, researching, drawing, naming, creating, designing, combining, animating, storyboarding, sewing, photography, origami, painting, retouching, Bezier curving, delegating, procrastinating, scale drawing, discussing, debating, voice-overs,  and the art of meetings. (When to speak up, when to shut up.) This has been an amazing experience, no matter what happens from here.
