perfection requires a touch of madness

Nice ad concept here, could be the next title for my blog thingymajigo.

A vast modern open-plan design centre is the backdrop to a subtitle which declares that all of the actors in the commercial are real SEAT employess. The young people are seen grappling with design concepts each in their own oblique ways, as another screen message advises that ‘perfection requires a touch of madness’, before the new Ibiza is unveiled on the factory floor and announced by the narrator.

Music - Specially commissioned by Seat
Title - Madhouse (Not available to buy)
Creative Agency - Grey
Director - Jan Wentz
Creative - Johnny Biggins, Jason Bramley
Production Co - Treibstoff (Hamburg)
Post Production - NHB (Hamburg)

A-level results in N.Ireland

2007, 16 August

Queens University - Belfast
Northern Ireland’s
A-level students have achieved better grades than their counterparts in England and Wales.
1/3 of the results in Northern Ireland were A grades, compared to 1/4 elsewhere in the UK.

I managed to get a ‘B’ back in 1996 in for Art & Design, and passes for the other two.
- which I was pleased with considering I studied them all part-time 1 day per week…

Aurora - Belfat

Just noticed, whilst contracting ole Belfast, the new 109 metres, 37 stories Building is under construction.

Although the U2 Tower (below¬) in Dublin will be slightly taller - currently aiming for 130 metres. Hope there will be some affordable housing included in these projects.
