MY AD OF THE WEEK .70

30 May 2014

I found these print ads a nice way for VW to talk about one of their new technologies, which helps you keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. These great photographs really make it.



MY AD OF THE WEEK .69

25 May 2014

When I first saw this video being 5 minutes, I thought I would watch it for a minute or two, get the idea and skip it. But I was hooked for the whole time. It's a great stunt for the upcoming game Watch Dogs.

Imagine how you would feel, if it was you.


WEDDING INVITATIONS

20 May 2014

I've recently illustrated these wedding invitations (below) for a good friend of mine in the UK. The first one shown is two champagne glasses with each one created from things that are part of them. The second illustration is a wedding cake created with all sorts of wedding items.

If you're keen on commissioning me for any projects, drop me an email for a chat: henry@henrybillington.com

YOUNG LIONS 2014

11 May 2014



On Friday I found out myself and Paul Donnelly are digital finalists in the 2014 Young Lions Competition and the only digital team in Western Australia to get through to the final round against the whole of Australia and the winners of that round get sent to Cannes. I'll be sharing the winning work in the next few weeks on my site.

MY AD OF THE WEEK .67

9 May 2014

How many cookbooks do you tear apart and use?

Well, this book created by a Brazilian BBQ brand called Tramontina, want you to do exactly that. It's called 'The Bible of Barbecue' with each page made from something different (coil, tin foil etc) that is usefully throughout the BBQ process. It would be ace to own one, even though I bet they only made a couple.



MY AD OF THE WEEK .66

2 May 2014

I wanted to share these ads, that are very well crafted for the Sunday Times Rich List. They make me smile and I find them pretty amusing every time I look at them. What do you think of them?
