The Four Phases of Design Thinking
I never knew we share so much in common with Bruce Mau when we conceived our re-brand it was about being rock stars in the creative world, about foster talent.
But also a battle cry to clients.
Be aggressive, getbrave@switchvertising.com is about committing to doing something well and doing it differently.
So days we do question if we are crazy, but if the good people at Bruce Mau Design feel the same - well then it’s a good day to be crazy.
1. Question
2. Care
3. Connect
4. Commit

Okay, I’m a huge photography nut. Give me a 35mm or a 32GB card and a Nikon Body and I will shoot to my hearts content.
I love when we challenge our selves through the lens.
Camera Tossing. It really explains it self. Set the shutter speed to a 3-5sec’s, press the timer and throw it up there in pitch dark and pray that it lands on your blanket.
I have yet to try this with my DSLR but I will with my dated but I will with my P&S Canon’s.
The beauty is that you can’t cheat in camera tossing, a string will break the clean organic lines; by having and abrupt change in the pattern.
Honestly half the fun is praying you can take another shot.
On to the photos.

You have to love French Canada. It’s unique culture and joie de vivre is a breading ground for social change.
This weekend we got sent a calling card from artist Pierre-Paul Pariseau. His style mixes Salvador Dalí with Terry Gilliam and pop culture to create images that explode with colour and energy.
Let hope we can make him into an Artist of Change.
