I give up. Blogging is not for me. I’m going to make lukeforsythe.com the best site out there and make babydes redirect to it.

Start of bragster (Luke hearts Apple)

May 10th, 2008 by Luke Forsythe · No Comments

(Yes its cliche but I can’t help it. I bloody love my new work computer. It’s amazing. I’ll tell you what I don’t like, however. Crappy camera phones! I’ve had nothing but dodgy images from my new one.)
I’ve started work at bragster and I can honestly say it’s bloody great. Big things are happening. The […]

Rat Race at Wieden+Kennedy

April 1st, 2008 by Luke Forsythe · No Comments

As part of WKside, I helped create Rat Race, an engaging window display in Wieden + Kennedy London’s window. Live Rats craw around a section of the tube map which we created using standard rat tubes. After all the initial concepts, budgetary hiccups and general ground work, It was a tough few days in the […]

Web design in the year 2007

November 28th, 2007 by Luke Forsythe · No Comments

Check it out - http://www.leicatime.com/a000-Rollei.htm
Every once in a while you come across a website that is so completely 90s, you just have to smile. Some are so bad they actually cross back over into cool, via that oh-so popular buzz-word begining with an “R” and ending in an “O”, of which I will not speak. […]

Tv Ad:

This is one of the most interesting Ad campaigns I’ve ever seen. They have created an entire fictional sub-text for the Ad in the form of “The making of” and “Eye-witness accounts”, which I suggest you watch first.
When you watch the ad itself, consider what its “selling” and […]

My little part of the London Design Week Site

September 2nd, 2007 by Luke Forsythe · 2 Comments

Hey check it out. London Design Week used my phone as a mini banner for their press section on the new website. Its teeny-tiny, but hey - its London Design Week, so in my book its a good thing. It was nice to find anyway…

Dude. I’m annoyed I am at myself for not keeping this up as I said I would at the beginning. Its all been kicking off though. I’ve been perfecting my portfolio, sorting out a move into London and working on branding “The Sidedoor”, a new event to hit the streets of Eastbourne very soon. Posters […]

Layers.

Sign I made for a little Boutique hotel in Eastbourne. Had to be something fairly traditional with a bit of and edge. Note use of vinyl layers with cuts for effect.

Persistence

I love Wieden + Kennedy. Its now my mission to work for them at some point in my life.
Only thing is, they won’t return my calls. Or to be specific, Mick Bailey, Head of Creative Services, wont return my calls. I only want to talk about about what they need out of me!
So I […]

Thought you would want to see these, Ben! They’re a really great example of what can be done with a little bit of photoshop knowledge and a really good idea!

The exhibition is called “FIXED” and celebrates the fixed wheel bicycle in all its forms. Bikes displayed include the AF1 I helped […]

Eat Chocolate! Think Thin!

June 17th, 2007 by Luke Forsythe · 1 Comment

Presenting the think thin chocolate bar.
I can’t decide. This is either the stupidest or the most amazing branding tactic I’ve ever seen. After all; Convince a heroin-addict that his problems will be solved by heroin and you’ll have a customer for life. But surely people aren’t that stupid?
On the back is the dietary advice; […]
