a possible project on the horizon for P.C in the not too distant future? "PROJECT CLUB - THE MOVIE"???
Aim big thats what I say. in the mean time here's a lovely little one minute short that shows what can be achieved with a bit of time and skill. Totally embracing the wintery vibe and a sort of magical theme.

MALARKY AFRO SHUTTERS

Project Club is a big fan of the return of Malarky to UK shores and very happy to see his work popping up once more across the north east streets. Here is a little taster of the treat in store on byker bridge after hours...

GROW THE MO

okay so this isnt strictly design based but its a great cause and movement....
ITS the beginning of November... HOW is it november already?
Yesterday marked the start of the month and the start of a time to get hairy. WIth the first of the month came the start of Movember, an annual month-long event raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer. The idea was born over some beers in Australia, when a group of men decided to bring back the mustache partly as a joke, and partly to raise money for the number one cancer affecting men. Just a few years later, Movember is a global movement which raised over $42 million for prostate cancer research last year alone.

The rules are simple: Register today at Movember.com, shave your face and start growing that 'stache. There are all sorts of tools to help you get started too, including a pocket guide, a free mustache party kit and a list of prizes to help get you motivated.

SKETCHES

Looking sketchy,
looking great.
Great little event going on, not until the 13th of november, but deffo one for the diaries...

LIGHTY LIGHT

WOWZERS...
The installation Type Case is a low-resolution display with 125 rectangular pixels of different sizes. These are formed from the reflecting light of digitally controlled LEDs, embedded in each section of a European printers’ type case. Due to the standardised fragmentation of its compartments, the density of visual information is decreased towards the objects’ centre. Viewed close by, it is nearly impossible to recognize more than a flicker – however after moving some distance away, it becomes distinguishable, that the lights and shadows give a representation of the latest headlines...

PARCEL

Dictaphone Parcel from Lauri Warsta on Vimeo.

Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.

Dictaphone Parcel was awarded the Passion Pictures Prize in London, in February 2010.

GREAT THINGS

WHALE-A OF A TRAILER

so this is for all you out there who are not happy to literally set up camp in the conventional tent, instead you'd rather haul a mini caravan behind you... you have standards. i salute you. streamlined and sturdy. happy adventures.

SAVE THE ARTS

David Shrigley launched the first in what is to become a series of works created to raise awareness and encourage people to sign a petition against the proposed 25% cuts in government funding of the arts.

“It has taken 50 years to create a vibrant arts culture in Britain that is the envy of the world. We the undersigned appeal to the government not to slash arts funding and risk destroying this long-term achievement and the social and economic benefits it brings to all.”

MASCOT?

I BELIEVE THIS CAT SHOULD BE PUT FORWARD AS OFFICIAL PROJECT CLUB MASCOT 2010. THOSE EYES, THAT FUR, THAT NOSE.... WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT (OTHER THAN A TURQUOISE LEATHER COLLAR COMPLETE WITH GOLD BELL)

WHAT A FOXY FELINE.

SURELY IT WILL ENHANCE OUR STREET CRED?

The Mixtape Project

Nothing to do with us... although in another life... a more productive life, we would be here, but typing for the mixtape blog... collecting in your mixtapes and striking it lucky with all your lovely music. As it is, we're writing a blog for 6 people. Who. We. Love x

PROJECT CLUB WANTS TO KNOW WHAT YOU DID THIS SUMMER...
WHERE'VE YOU BEEN? WHO WITH? WHAT DID YOU SEE?
OWT OR NOWT.

WHO'S UP FOR A SHOW AND TELL?

BILL STICKERS

ON THE ROAD?

With summer drawing to a close (ish) and chunky knits and woolen mits being not too far away now... who's up for a P.C. mini-break?? If one were ever to happen I propose we charter a fleet of these bad boys and hit the road. They are pretty special, right? Added to their already ice cool status the Cricket Trailer was designed by a former NASA architect who worked on the International Space Station... wowzers oh and every Cricket is built to order because "we don’t want to sell you what you don’t want or need". How lovely

NEXT MEET

TYPO VID

AHH found this little treat today, Like many of oh so many of the other the YouTube commenters out there, we think that Cee Lo Green should just stick with this gem rather than go through all the hassle of an official video.

BLOODY HELL... CHECK THIS BLOG OUT

Now and again, you stumble across something that really knocks your confidence and makes you want to give up drawing forevermore. Today is one of those days, and to top it all off... the culprits are local! We had no idea! We'll have to hope they join us at 'Project Club'... we might just learn a thing or two
