Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)

This video from Justice (think they're a French group) is amazing! The songs pretty catchy too. Have a look for yourselves.

FIESA (Sand Festival - Faro, Portugal)

Its amazing what can inspire you sometimes. You wouldn't really add sand to the list but I've been proven wrong it seems. On my holiday to Portugal last week, I decided to visit the sand festival which was advertised just about everywhere. I wasn't expecting anything special, I generally find the photos on the adverts are always better than when you see it in person. Anyway, I was shocked at some of the sand sculptures created. It was breathtaking! Some of the work and skill gone into the display was amazing. Basically, in a nutshell, every year sand artists come from all over the world to create a sculpture based on the theme given. This year was 'the world'. They generally take place in Europe, mainly Spain or Portugal. Have a look at the website to find out more.

Here are some photos I managed to take on the day. The sand festival is also open late into the night when it is illuminated. If I had longer I would have stayed to see that, but I might have missed my plane back. Oh well, maybe next year.

Websites

I got a free cd with a design magazine a few months ago, but I'd never really looked at it. Sometimes you can get some crappy gimmicks with free cd's. After sorting out my desk though (I'm a cluttered person) I thought I better try it before I threw it away. Anyway I'm glad I did. It has a list of some amazing web sites which are well worth a look at. Anyway, heres some of my favorites below. Great for inspiration and also to sit in front of your screen and go "whooooaa.....cool...."
