Nice Site! Great Italian Creative Concepts
CIAO BELLA! Check out this Italian site “Ibelieveinadv.com” which we’re sure translates to “I believe in Advertising” …dot com. It showcases the top creative ideas and campaigns from around the advertising world but focuses mainly on Italy – it is well worth a visit. Right now they have the latest MINI Cooper Rock campaign from Milan based agency DLV BBDO which is CREATIVELY BRILLIANT – see if you can work out which ROCK group the MINI is ‘dressed as’. Clue – the first one is the POLICE and the third one is the beatles. Creatives – bookmark this site for your creative top up from Italia! It takes a little long to download and open so maybe go straight to their YouTube site here to see the commercials they are highlighting and check out the printwork on the orig site. Nice...

So you wanna travel? UK Working Holiday visa!
It’s that time of the year where weary office workers open their diaries to the front page to work out when the public holidays are -the good news is that we’re about to hit public holiday happiness as they fall one after another – make the most of it. The other good news is that Autumn is stretching and crackling it’s gnarled fingers – we’ll soon be pulling out the firewood and getting the Old Brown out for a cuddle. But the best news is that if you’re a summer bunny you don’t have to get the scarf out – if you time your global movements cleverly, you can live an ETERNAL SPRUMMER! All you have to do is make sure you go travelling to warmer climes as the cold fingers ring your buzzer. So how do you do that? There are options! Lots of em! We’ll start by talking about what we know and have experienced – the UK Working Holiday Visa. Feel free to share your ideas with us too! Did you know that if you’re aged between 17 and 30 you have a chance of acquiring a WORKING HOLIDAY VISA for the UK? It’s like a gift being handed to you on a golden platter oh ye young working South African’s and you really need to take it… With a little planning you can make it happen and transport yourself to the UK for two years – if you head of in the next few months you will catch their ‘warmer’ seasons! But don’t forget to always pack warmly. This visa can be tricky and people have been known to be refused one – it’s aimed at young people who are earning money and have some basic work skills for the UK – they don’t want anyone that is going to become a burden to them or try to stay indefinitely so you need to make it clear in your application that you’re going to work part-time and TRAVEL. There are a few other things you can do to up your chances. You need to save money – besides your ticket you need about R20 000 – R30 000 and you need to show that it’s been in your bank account for three months – they will ask for a statement. A letter from your employer promising you work when you get back is also a plus. The savings are really important because when you get to London it takes a few weeks to get your life together and you need to have money to help you settle in. Some people find a job in a week and get their first wages at the end of...
CreatingX- Leading the Deconstruction
“Creatives” make sure to check out the online creative community called CreatingX – they’re also behind the Joburg-based DECONSTRUCTION parties – there’s one taking place this Friday click on the flyer for more info – Malcolm Che tells us a little about CreatingX and the party below: Malcolm: CreatingX: the democratisation of creativity, through a social network, where the only people capitalising on ideas, are those who had them in the first place. CreatingX is a community that you can join, not just any community… it’s for the square pegs tired of round ‘holes… um, creatives in other words… think of it as a country-wide creative community. But just what does that offer you? at this point, there are a number of cool parties going on, and you’ll learn about them on the site… cool parties and cool bands doing cool stuff that when you get to, you’ll start taking the network from virtual into reality… cheesy line, but cool concept… we have blogs. cool blogs to read and write, and as a registered member, you can document your life and times for the rest of the country to enjoy… and then comment on if they so desire… which brings us to the forums. and while the cut forum is active with numerous comments, there are still huge gaps to be filled. why not set yourself up as an active member, and share your comments with the rest of us… then there’s the media gallery… this is just another component where you can showcase your creative genius for the rest of us. similarly, why not create your own ahem, X-site, where you can create your own personal piece of the internet. dare i say, it’s a little like myspace, but with a whole lot more… see, cos you can make connections with people you like by going to their profiles, and once you’ve done that, you’ll notice something interesting when you visit other members’ profiles… you’ll see how many degrees of seperation there are between you and that person, and then request connections through the line of linking… and man, are there a lot of people already worth connecting to… and more to follow… i’m not going to bore you with more details. But i recommend you check all of the links in the menu and find out more about the site… you can always send me a message, or better yet, post a question in the forums for more info… Represent: And what about the party? What kind of peeps are you hoping to draw? We see Miss Yucki is there so we’re sure it’s going to be...
