Bjork, Declare Independence, Director: Michel Gondry, Production company: Partizan
To help you through the last few moments of the working week, here is a selection of the wonderful work that we’ve been looking at in Creative Review towers over the last week or so… First up is Michel Gondry’s hotly-awaited video for Bjork’s new track, Declare Independence.

A group of third year graphic design students from Salford University have come up with a scheme to make money for their end-of-year show by asking top designers to create a Christmas card for them, which they are selling online. And with the likes of Jeremyville, Parra and Paul Davis involved, the results make for the nicest Christmas cards we’ve seen in a while. Here’s a taster of the collection – the rest can be viewed online at http://cardboardsu.blogspot.com/ and can be ordered there in packs of five for £4.50 or as single cards for a £1. Bargain!
For those of you who are fed up with all the cutesy gifts that appear at this time of year, and yet are still on the hunt for that elusive Christmas present, we might have just the thing for you – the Roadkill teddy.

Young people aren’t interested in magazines anymore? Well, if they don’t like reading them, they at least still enjoy designing them as I found out at a recent workshop.
