As Singapore prepares to host the Youth Olympics Games in August this year, they have launched a promotional video which deserves some praise and applause. Entitled ‘Can’, it highlights the comparison between an average youth and a youth driven by ambitions and dreams.

Designed by a French agency called Helmo, they’ve been churning out very aesthetically pleasing collaterals for an annual Jazz festival, Jazzdor. I love the variety of concepts they’ve thought of to advertise this singular event.

Moleskine Art

I was immediately attracted to this post, as a fan of Moleskine. Albeit plain and some would even say, ‘ordinary’, avid users beg to defer. The handiness and slick design have captivated pen to paper lovers. It’s a place to write and scribble important dates, thoughts and ideas down. Is it any surprise some wonderful creative people have conjured up pieces of art in their personal Moleskines?

Here, Have a look!
