Great fans of shooting hoops the WAVE Team escaped for a recent Friday afternoon and blew out a few cobwebs on the B-Ball court. The WAVE Rockets took on the WAVE dancing with the stars team! Who won? I can"t remember I was too busy laughing.

WAVE Account Manager Cheryl Brown (left) and Senior Creative Amanda Ward (right), joined Rachel Beere and her team from DFS Galleria last week at their 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty Investment Dressing Event at DFS Galleria Customhouse in Auckland. One of the great perks of being the creative agency for DFS! The Fashion Quarterly team demonstrated how to spend your money wisely to invest in pieces that stand the test of time, proving the theory that all of us girl's know and love of "cost-per-wear" actually works. Forget the latest IT BAG on the arm of the latest IT GIRL, it's all about "stealth wealth" these days!

If you haven't seen this before you're really missing out. If you have, watch it again - it's worth at least three or four looks.
Illustrated and animated by our friends at Watermark the new music video for I Got Options by Greg Johnson is one of the best I've seen.

Ink Calendar by Spanish designer Oscar Diaz is a very cool example of smart design thinking. Made out of blotting paper. Different coloured inks (for each month) are absorbed from a small bottle, and the numbers in the calendar are revealed each day everyday until the end of the month.
The colors range from dark blue in December to three shades of green in spring or orange and red in the summer.
If you"re lucky enough to be anywhere near Madrid the full calendar is on display as part of an exhibition at the Círculo de Bellas Artes until 11 October 2009.

Very early on a recent Friday morning myself and the rest of the Creative team managed to ‘sneak" away for two awesome days at the latest Semi Permanent Design conference. I"ve been to about five of these conferences over recent years and thought the 09 offering was the best so far.
A near perfect mix of speakers, really funny ‘MC"ing courtesy of Te Radar and a constant flow of inspiration and creativity. Covering everything from advertising, illustration, animation, photography, graphic design, brand development, guerrilla marketing and corporate responsibility.
Too many highlights to list them all. The only dud presentation was weta digital but in all fairness this was mainly because they were last on the first day and were legally unable to show anything from works in progress and the presentation content was stuff I"d seen before.
If only the guy sitting in front of me hadn"t taken the ‘Perm" part of the conference so seriously I may have been able to see better.
