Some of my favourites however did not quite succeed like the Wall of Fame, nominated for digital advertising, Illustration for digital advertising award.

The 50th Black Pencils will be revealed and the Yellow Pencil Winners will be honoured.
Here is a step by step guide created by graphic designer Nick Scott on how to do something I love doing and hoped to find a career in had Grays School of Art accepted me. Who knows I may have the potential to be the next Andy Warhol.

Good luck to anyone who gives it a go.

This video was made by the Canadian wood pallet and container Association to try encourage people to recycle wood products such as old wood pallets. This topic also known as Love pallet project? has been covered a lot on a blog named Unconsumption. http://unconsumption.tumblr.com/tagged/pallets It features posts from artists and even architects, who have created many pieces similar to what is shown in the video.
