A collection of creative talents have come together to produce the new advert for the housing charity Shelter, entitled ‘House of Cards’, to highlight the fragility of the UK housing situation.
House of cards was created by Leo Burnett Framestore, Blink, Outsider, Saddington & Baynes, soundtracked by Radiohead and voiced by actress Samantha Morten;
All of whom donated their time and services for free.
How lovely

Humans aren’t the only ones doing filming at the moment. Wildlife photographer Enrique Aguirre caught this pic of an otter with a camcorder in Monterey Bey. From the Santa Cruz Sentinel via Gizmodo.
Today there has been a film crew outside for what looks like a TV advert for a new quiz show featuring Chris Moyles. Sadly the man himself wasn’t here, but an uncanny ’stuntman’ was doing all the hard work…
Peter Morville recently wrote a great article listing 20 different user experience deliverables with thoughts about when and how to use different deliverables. He emphasizes that these deliverables are not goals in and of themselves but are instead tools for thinking, and he also wants to bridge the gap between information architecture and visual design.
One of the best things included is a treasure map of the 20 deliverables he discusses. It’s not meant to be a linear process, but it’s a great quick visual reminder of what kinds of tools are out there.
found out about this lovely design agency Telegramme (www.telegramme.co.uk) from the creative review blog:

They’ve done some really nice screen printed designs for everything from Habitat bed linen, to rough trade gig posters, to Nokia phones
This is probably the closest most people will get to flying over round the moon.
I heard that this was at one of the Science Museums late night openings, so Jamie and I went down to see what the moon really looks like.
The event was organized by Super/Collider and the video was produced by the Japanese space agency. The High-Definition moon footage was shot by the SELENE lunar space probe.
One of the most interesting things about it was how big the craters were. There’s nothing you can see to gauge the scale of anything. After a while the moon gets a bit samey, lots of grey holes. But every now and then you see the Earth, poking it’s little head up from behind. I’m not sure if they are still showing it, but if it’s still on, it’s worth going if your in the area.
