Ola Waterspelen - the game

As you know, I don't write a lot about work, but this one I wanted to share... :)

With a full team we've been working on the OLA Waterspelen (Watergames) online game, which is ment to get kids enthusiastic about the brand and especially the mini events with the same name... Realtime, kids can enter a competition in swimmingpools all around Holland. It's a great concept by the big ice cream brand (probably the biggest there is in the world?).



Anyways, just wanted to share this game with you. The concept is an 'interactive boardgame'. A bit similar to 'ganzenbord' or 'monopoly', only then we added interactive elements such as minigames... Not only am I really proud of what the illustrator has accoplished, also the minigames are very well done and the game is fun to play as well...

You should play it to get the feel of it, so why not just try? Check out: www.olawaterspelen.nl

Treehouses - every kids would LOVE this, and ME too!

Came across these magnificent treehouses on thecoolhunter.net:

Any kid would just LOVE to be in a treehouse like this, every day... Wouldn't it? At least, I can fully imagine myself spending a lot of time in a treehouse like this. When I was little, I used to spend my days hanging around in trees (without houses) and always found it very amusing, inspiring and relaxed...

See all creations by Baumruam on the Coolhunter site.

Book: Unknown (Scandanavian textile and patterns)

At Book by it's Cover, I found this book called Unknown. It shows non typical but very nice Scandanavian textile and patterns. See everything on the site, a couple of pics:

Solar Power Leather Bags by Noon

On Trendwatching.com I came across this great ecological concept by the brand Noon. The bags look very nice, but the special thing about it is that they have solar panels in them. These generate power with sunlight, and the power can then be used for charging an iPod or mobile phone... Amazing, isn't it? Read & see everything on Noonsolar.com.

Fashion brand on Etsy: Little Houses

I instantly loved the creations of this brand I found on Etsy.com... Too bad it's a bit to expensive (for me) to buy on total impulse ;-) But maybe I'll be in love in a few weeks and BUY! Check out some pics, see all creations on the Little Houses etsy shop page.
