Yep… this is me, David Kingsnorth, in The Simpsons Movie… well not quite but this is what I’d look like if I was. To help promote the film, Burger King have commisioned a website, which can turn everyone into a Simpsons character!

All you have to do is upload a photo of yourself to the website Simpsonize Me and by magic it will simpsonize your mug. You can then customize your creation to your hearts content.

This is something no Simpsons fan can resist I’m sure! Click to see me at the Kwik-E-Mart.

Brain Aided™ Design is proud to announce it has signed up with CoCo2 to help offset the Carbon Emissions generated by the server that brainaideddesign.com is hosted on.

CoCo2 will use the money donated by Brain Aided™ Design to fund various projects, from purchasing carbon offsets to offset the impact of registered websites (including brainaideddesign.com) on the environment, to planting trees in the UK and supplying energy efficient lighting to low income villagers in South Africa amongst other things.

According to CoCo2 “Carbon Offsetting is a method by which you can minimise your impact on the environment. For every ton of CO2 your activities produce you can reduce somebody else’s activities by the same amount.

For example, if the electricity generated that your website consumes is equivelant to 1 ton of CO2 emmitted per year then we could plant trees that take 1 ton of carbon out of the atmosphere.”

To make your website carbon neutral and/or to list your site in the CoCo2 directory please visit CoCo2.org.

Brain Aided™ Design, in collaboration with Kahuna Design and Warwick Promotions has recently completed a website for the educational attraction, Old MacDonald’s Farm.

The development and design process began in April 2007 as has been on going over the last 3 months. Aimed to appeal to children along with parents it features bright, colourful graphics and fun features for kids to interact with such as downloadable activities.

The most challenging aspect of the website was the interactive map of the farm. Featuring a navigation tool with scrolling and zoom facilities, alongside interactive buttons with sound FX and educational information overlays for the animals and farm activities.

Keeping up her great history of highly original and album artwork is this, Björk’s latest album Volta.

The album artwork created by m/m along with photography by Nick Knight, both of whom have also collaborated with her last couple of albums Vespertine & Medulla.

Check out May’s issue of i-D magazine, it features one of my favourite artists Cat Power. Her last album was called The Greatest and I’m not going to disagree with her, its an absolutely amazing album.

Cat Power (real name Chan Marshall) is still a relatively unknown artist, but those that have heard her beautiful, soulful voice would struggle to think of a better female singer than her at the moment.
