How cool are these?

February 25, 2009 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

Even if I wasn’t working with FHM on various promotions, I’d be just as impressed by the posters they’ve produced for the 100 Sexiest voting. Particularly these two from the selection to download as posters and wallpapers:

FHM 100 Sexiest Voting - Adriana Lima Poster

FHM 100 Sexiest Voting - Olga Kurylenko Poster

Meanwhile I’m helping with their Twitter account, and new Facebook page amongst other things.

Amongst the doom and gloom about the print industry, it’s nice to highlight some of the work done by incredibly creative and talented people that will translate to whichever medium they work with.

Tomorrow should be very interesting

January 14, 2009 By Dan Thornton 2 Comments

Whilst today has been approaching epic fail status, (including my other blog, 140char.com having some kind of outage for 50% of visitors – including me), tomorrow has suddenly shaped up to be very interesting.

I’ve suddenly ended up with a breakfast date over soup with someone I’ve been trying to catch up with for ages.

Then there’s a good chance I might actually make MeasurementCamp for once…it’s always really interesting, and it has more of a focus on actually coming up with metrics (hence the name) that work for social media and marketing!

Then catching up on some of the plans for the day job at Bauer Media.

And then off to the very interesting EverySingleOneofUs event.

Considering some of the complications and illness-inspired delays that have already hit me (and my family) in 2009, it feels like tomorrow is the day it all kicks off.

Santa’s sleigh redesigned by top car designers…

December 17, 2008 By Dan Thornton 2 Comments

I had to blow the trumpet of one of the magazines I work with for Bauer Media.

Car Magazine decided to lighten the mood a bit for Christmas by asking car firms if they’d have a go at updating Santa’s transport – and Nissan, Ford, Rolls Royce and Bentley all responded… So Car have made the awesome designs available as E-Cards…

The Bentley approach to updating Santa's Sleigh!

Ford's take on Santa Claus transportation

I’ll add previews of the other two when WordPress has stopped playing up!
