British in the only way the British can be, the Rissington Podcast is, well, ummmm, a podcast about design and… stuff.

Very, very cool.

The idea has been tried many a times, a web based comic that’s free to read. Some have been fanciful Flash based numbers, others semi interactive. It seems though that many after some time run out of puff, we guess because the real world incentive of needing to account for one’s time doesn’t happen when it’s free or being an ‘on the side thing’, never really gains enough momentum to make switching it to a commercial enterprise a reality. Then there is the whole hesitance by the consuming public to part with cash for online content.

FreakAngles, is a UK produced online comic, presented in a trad page format with no bells and whistles. While it seems the episodes are short, it might be just enough to keep the interest growing while not being a huge on going task for those producing it.

Worth checking out as it’s quite nice to look at.

Another great simple advert, this time for Onistsuka Tiger shoes out of Japan.

Nice, simple, clever

So it’s a bit slow and everyone’s a bit busy but this is a bit of fun worth posting, and hey, it IS media design!

As part of its Flugtag event, you know, where people build the most insane ‘aircraft’ and then throw themselves off a ramp in vein hope that they will fly a long way, Red Bull has made this pretty cleaver online version.

Build the absurd aircraft of your dreams, paint it up and then fly it in a physics based simulator. All without making a total fool of yourself in public.

If you get the sack, don’t blame us.
