New
Projects and Ideas
PROJECTS
AND IDEAS don't
always get off the ground. Sometimes they just lay on the floor
in Karl's office for months and people tread on them, but enough
of the Company's attitude to Karl's work. If he stopped wearing
the German uniform from the Second World War we might treat his
work more seriously . For God's sake Karl, let us forget. We won
okay? Let's play football and put the past behind us.
NEW
IDEAS
are not easy things to come up with in a world of preconception,
prejudice and pigeon-holing...

| There
has never been a better time to be creative. Laptops allow instant
access to both the world of design and the internet and it's just
so easy to put those ideas down and launch them at the world. Jane
however, doesn't quite get it. The creative juices rarely flow and
now she's been distracted by someone she knows in the park across
the road. Jane, the screen's the other way! |

is a kitten. God knows what she comes up with but she certainly gives
me ideas. |

Yes,
you guessed it. We were the first agency to come with the idea
of
SEXISM.
We've
never looked back!

| We
thought something was missing here, so we designed the 'laptop for
bees'... |
|
...see
how much more industrious this worker bee now appears.

Bees
have gone on to design their own computers. Above is a visualisation
of just one of their profound concepts. |

New
paint for an old problem.
The
Forth Bridge rusts so quickly that as soon as the painters have
worked from one end to the other, they have to start all over again.
The owners asked us to solve this important problem so our Creative
Team got to work.
After months of research and on-site visits, thousands of pounds
worth of computer analysis of the metals and stresses involved,
not to mention a full engineering and structural appraisal along
with a local, long-term weather report, in the end the answer was
simple – "paint it orange", we said. "You'll
get five years out of it between applications before some eagle-eyed
tourist spot the rusts coming back through. Obvious really! |

Problem
Children? Problem Solved
For
children with Attention Deficit Disorder we came up with new eyes
for them which would keep their hands busy so they couldn't fiddle
about all the time. This has worked wonders and mothers from all
over the world have written to us, thanking us for our trouble.
No problem mam. It's all in a days work for Black Pencil Design. |

Our
design for a new tracking system that negates the use of expensive
satellites. The military from several countries are very interested
in developing the idea and why not? Using this very device we followed
them back to a secret base and sprung a surprise presentation on them!
|
|
|
|
We've
come up with a foolproof system for making sure mystics give accurate
predictions. You keep poking them in the eye and eventually they say:
"If you do that again, I will kill you.".

A
great new 'hands-free' mobile idea that really works. It also prevents
you looking from looking like a posy twat with a small designer device
that really doesn't suit your image. No one in the world is going
to call you pretentious with this strapped to your head.
