Carrol Boyes 2010


Hi there all you designers.

Every year the best designers in the country, as well as the best upcoming designers, compete for the coveted first place prize in Carrol Boyes New Design Search competition. This time around Carrol Boyes has asked designers to focus their energy on unique Metal Vases

As always the Design Search Competition is open to anybody that feels they have a great idea. SO no matter if you are an industry guru, an industrial design student, or even an everyday Joe…all are welcome.
All that is required of you is to create a unique 3D prototype of your design, entry form, a copy of your ID and your own personal one page CV. Simple as!

This year the Carrol Boyes New Design Search focuses on Metal Vases that serve as a beautiful aesthetic as well as having functionality. In order to make your design commercially viable please stick to metals like aluminium, stainless steel or pewter…no adamantium please ;)
Dont worry about the metal working too much, all prototypes are acceptable as long as they are structurally strong. So don’t feel bad if you use resins, ceramics, or even wood….it’s all good.

Capn Americana


Stars and stripes!

Many of you who are into the superhero movie genre will know that there has been a great deal of speculation over who will play the role of Captain America.
Likewise I have had absolutely no idea either, until this morning I found mention of the list of names that are in the running to take up the role. After carefully looking at the actors I have to say that I’m a touch perturbed…aren’t I always muhahaha.

Ok, so looking at the list of actors, as always, they pick a variety of soft faced pretty boys…it seems to be the trend these days. This honestly gets up my nose because I would much prefer a “real man” to fill the shoes of Captain America. Look I’m not saying that Captain America should be some kind of brute that says very little but likes to stomp on Nazis’. I’m aware that there is an ever increasing horde of female fans who love super hero movies and obviously the casters need to pick a guy that is going to make the girls swoon.

I have looked over the entire list and have decided that I only really like 1 of the actors…from various blogs across the web it seems that my choice wasn’t listed as a favourite even once…which I find surprising actually, but hey maybe there is something that these other bloggers know that I don’t….or maybe they are hype pumpers for various actors…don’t think it’s not true boys and girls, actors are the same as any other product that needs positive marketing strategies.

Here is the list of candidates for the role of Captain America:
