Introducing Half Pants.

What. The. Hell? Bernhard Willhelm is Hawking these things for $170 (a bargain seeing as they where on sale for $340) Described as

“Half pants, half shorts in a combination of camouflage and blue & white pinstripe. front and back pockets. Zip fly.”

Even Lady GaGa wouldn’t wear these…

Old Blood, Meet new Blood.

D&AD one of the most well known design websites/competitions/groups have discovered chat roulette. Now I understand what you’re thinking; I don’t want to see Saatchi’s genitalia either…

“Chat Roulette, (in case you have been living in a box) is new website that brings you face-to-face, via webcam, with an endless stream of random strangers all over the world. Sadly, it’s notoriety isn’t really due to it’s ability to make meaningful connections and bring people together: statistics show that the site is 89% male, and you have a good 1 in 8 chance of encountering a penis.

We promise this won’t happen in Creative Roulette.

In Creative Roulette (brought to you by those lovely folks at A + B), creative professionals and industry pros are locked together in the creative roulette room and given the opportunity to chat with chaps like you, the graduate.

Creative Roulette is all about networking- establishing relationships with people in the know. It’s an opportunity to find contacts (not a job) that can dole out some wisdom and potentially help send you and your work in the right direction.

You click the button and get the chance to have a five-minute chat at random with anyone else in the room. It could be your artistic hero, a reputable studio manager, a freelancing professional, a recent graduate… It could even be someone just like you.

As with regular Chat Roulette, you can ‘next’ someone at any time if they’re boring the pants off you. But equally, remember that they can do the same- not an ego boost when chatting to that superstar designer whose attention you’ve been trying to grab for months.

So, in the rather limited time and with rather limited resources, what can you do to get the most out of this amazing (and slightly bizarre) creative conversation game?”
