The Art of Green and Blacks

Green and Blacks have just launched a new competition to create 'art' by using their own bars of chocolate. Before you go out and buy 700 bars of the stuff, they've also developed a handy online canvas to create your very own masterpiece on.

Whilst you're there why not vote for my attempt, 'Great Black' (- get it? Clever I know, it could've been Green Britain but i thought that would just be a lie).

The winners of the competiton can be voted for on the gallery and the 9 most popular will be put to the great Sir Peter Blake (creator of the heart piece above) to decide on the winner. The winner will receive their masterpiece created from 700 Green & Black’s chocolate bars, or if they prefer, a signed print of the artwork plus 700 Green & Black’s chocolate bars.

Good luck!

Labour's latest advert 'Jedward' is a sorry sign of the times

This is the latest attempt from labour at enticing the public to keep Gordon Brown firmly in his seat. The advert, by Saatchi & Saatchi London, depicts the Conservative leaders as the famous Jedward twins from the travelling circus that is the x-factor. Is this really the best way to attract votes?

Guinness reveal latest Ad - Bring the world to Life

Now Guinness are well known for their advertising, from those iconic posters to the latest TV adverts - they clearly know the value of a good campaign. This advert 'Bring the world to life' is the latest example of this, I don't think the pace has dropped at all!

The director of this ad, Johnny Green, has been quoted saying: “The locations were so remote and extreme that it took days to even get to the site. From high altitudes to underwater shoots, freezing temperatures of -30C combined with the burning glare of the sun off of the snow, every element brought its own unique challenge.”
