Last couple of days were a nice break from the blog, just a bit lazy really. Enjoying the non existent summer, writing stories (about a cactus), reading books (advertising), working on our portfolio (a hairstyling brand) some design stuff (branding for a food franchise), calling agencies (new London office of the Brooklyn Brothers) and more stuff. In a bit we're off to the D&AD Workshop introduction session which takes place tonight. Hope to take some pictures there.
sounds like fun guy's.

First off congratulations for getting on the D&AD workshops in the first place. Its a notoriously hard course to get onto and i know you guys have been working your nuts off to get onto it! so congrats!
ReplyDeletealso im with anon 04:42, who are the brooklyn brothers?
HI guys,
ReplyDeleteI've been reading and enjoying your blog for a while now.
I'm one half a a creative team (James&Joe) in a similar situation to you guys.
We did these workshops last winter and they were a great way to work on some briefs, practice pitching and meet other creatives. We still see a few of the guys from time to time.
It's a shame we didn't do it at the same time as you two.
Well just thought I'd say hi. If Lydia is still running the workshops give her a kiss from us.
Enjoy.
Eww you kiss girls.
ReplyDeleteNever met Lydia Shaw but she has a sexy voice.

not sure which is funnier, the pout at top or the thinking pose at the bottom.

Wald
ReplyDeleteI just read about that Fallon placement hoax. It's a shame I was genuinely happy for you two.
Just do me a favour if you ever make it to fallon, don't become a Fallon junior. You're a sweet guy. Stay like that.
erica, me and you should hook up!

ReplyDeletejames&joe. like the way you did your website. interesting way. only the work has to keep up with that. love the "i love my mum" tee though.
ReplyDeletewal, how's the workshop? and what's that fallon placement hoax about?
Can't get your obsession with my name! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to hang out here by myself for awhile but thanks for the invite.
seb, what gives you the authority to critise anyone? If I remember well you're one of those dismayed readers who complain when people do that.
ReplyDeletewoo. I've got nothing against constructive criticism, sunshine. only if you, anonymous, bash jai and wal for the sake of bashin.
ReplyDeleteanyway I'm with scamp on that one. you make them the best known junior team in London. though I wonder why those who seem to honestly think jai and wal are shite, are the most loyal customers of this blog. I mean they all could give a shit. but they come back. every day. why? curiosity that the two get one top-notch placement after another?
The Brooklyn Brothers are a 'Hot Shop' in NY, they just opened a London office, we'd like to find out more about them so we're chasing them up. Here's their site:

@James Callahan, thanks for dropping by, in fact I stumbled upon your website (http://www.jamesandjoe.co.uk/) a while ago and thought it's quite cool, keep rockin'. And yes, Lydia is still running the show, she's pretty cool.
@Erica Larssen, a long D&AD workshop post is coming up in a couple of minutes, night blogging rocks!
@Sara, we don't know really know what's this hoax is about, but you can be sure we'd post about it if we'd had a placement there :)
@Seb, workshop was cool, see next post.
I think the ads are a bit boring and im not sure they would grab my attention where ever they were shown
ReplyDeleteHow about something abit more fun, like ads that kids actually colour in themselves in an area of the store and display on a wall. Dot to dot and stuff like that. Then the best ones get published in print nationwide.
Kids drawing always stands out better than any art direction
