Welcome to the blog of Johannesburg creative agency Nicework. A fine selection of the best creative ideas, art, design and advertising.
Ross grew up on the wrong side of the Jukskei. He studied at Vega and was awarded the Top Student prize at his graduation. After working as a freelancer for four years, he founded Nicework with Ben Vorster. He has a penchant for Scandinavian wood furniture and really nice shirts. He is open to bribery- all iPads are welcome. He also likes chocolate cake and is happily married.Although I have not been swept up in the glut of vintage mania that is spreading across the planet faster than Justin Bieber. This ad campaign is very clever. I wonder if they manually edited the stuff out or used this amazing thing from a big company. I love it when people achieve a lot with very little.

We have a storeroom packed full of cables, docks and old cellphones. When I came across this chair made by Rodrigo Alonso I had that familiar “Why didn’t I think of that” feeling. If any one was thinking of buying Nicework a present, this is one of the many things that would be appropriate.
(N + ew: No More Electronic Waste) Banking-sculpture-installation made of electronic waste, epoxy resin and cast aluminum. It is produced in limited editions, or based on specific orders. Each chair is completely unique. Customizable. Made by hand. This collection is possible through the support of Recycla. I feel some backyard resin mixing coming along….
I love these ads. The idea’s are so clever and the illustrations are even better. Look at the penguin’s face

Now that we are all lying around trying to digest some of the huge amounts of food and wine we have consumed over the last few days. Have a look at this great showreel on your new iPad, galaxy tab or laptop…

I found this identity to be really fun, playful and most importantly diverse. Well done Bruce Mau.
OCAD University, Canada’s preeminent art and design school, had achieved degree-granting status and with that, a new name reflecting that status. They needed a new visual identity that would reflect the path of a 135 year old institution moving quickly into the future.

Nelson Boles‘ animation ‘Little Boat’ is amazing. It is so delicate and well observed. Really, really lovely. The timing, attention to detail are amazing. Nelson really capture you emotions with an inanimate object.
Spot on Nelson, spot on.
He is currently in the ONECLOUDFEST Fall Competition:
