World’s Largest Vinyl Collection


The Archive from Sean Dunne on Vimeo

“The Archive” is a documentary about Paul Mawhinney, owner of the world’s largest vinyl record collection. After watching this video, I was astounded not only by the size of the collection but also by his passion and dedication; it really inspires me when people dedicate their life to what they love most.

This video made me wish I still owned my old diminute but highly enjoyed record collection. I am glad Sean Dunne has made this available online.
Enjoy!

Be Kanye - Train Ad

I came across the Be Kanye Ad on the train this week. The Ad promotes “Be Kanye” effervescent Tablets, which claim to transform you into cool Kanye West. This ad is only part of the Be Kanye tablets Campaign from Absolut, which includes train, bus, newspaper and online advertising.

It’s a great concept, the ad has been receiving a lot of attention on the trains. The design approach immediately pulled me in, because the ad actually looks like some sort of hair replacement ad. But even though the Ad is getting a ton of attention in the trains (specially for Kanye West) I am intrigued about the return the Ad will have for Absolut Vodka.

To write a letter Enye (ñ) :

1 - Press option + n on your keyboard, then release. You should see a wierd squiggly line.

2- Then press n (just n)

And that’s it.
