CEMP stands for The Centre for Excellence in Media Practice and “is a research and innovation centre based in the Media School at Bournemouth University.” They have very recently launched a redesign of their site and I thought I would spend some time reviewing it for you.

Tripping Words is a blog styled site housing intellectual opinions on print and web design philosophy by Josh, an academic researcher. This is his first attempt at designing a website which is impressive because it’s a nice design, it’s creative and adheres to a lot of web design principles.

This Sunday I bring Critique Sunday which I showcase all the wonderful designs sent in to us. It’s important to say not all makes the cut, I try to select the most inspirational ones or the ones I have something useful to critique on.

In this article we take a look back at the “Halo 3: Believe” ad campaign. As I go through the various ads for this campaign I’m compelled to come to only one conclusion; it was brilliant.

I got this great ad in my inbox today which is for Olympus Camera. Generally my interpretation of the the idea is that it tries to communicate perfection at the most extreme conditions. A camera that produces really beautiful photography anywhere. The portrait is obviously stunning and an amazing photo with exceptional lighting.

Almost a year after being produced and these ads are still ‘cool’. Snickers is one of my favourite chocolate bar because it truly lives up to its messaging for me. It doesn’t full me up as a complete meal would but it certainly kill my hunger and re-fuels me.
