Who in the blazes?

Killerpoke is the independent blog of Nick Craske, creative director, living and working in London. Killerpoke is a method of inducing irreversible hardware damage on a machine. As a little-scamp the most rewarding play was always disassembling objects, turning them upside down, inside out and making something more useful, unexpected or playful - and sometimes just to enjoy pulling them apart. I'm even more curious now, and increasingly fascinated with technology and narrative to communicate and entertain in the digital world. Work is play.

    As Greg Lamarche’s shapely, textural and recycled art implies It’s time to destroy, redevelop, reboot and refresh. Killerpoked.

    Posted in Blogging, Copy writing, Internet, Journalism, Technology | No Comments »

    The Guardian have always embraced the Internet’s potential well ahead of other news papers and publishers.  They recently held a two-week conference -The Future of Journalism- and true to the spirit of knowledge sharing and open discussion have posted video clips of Jeff Jarvis‘ presentation (associate professor and director of the interactive journalism program at the City University of New York’s new Graduate School of Journalism).  Watch part 1 & 2 here.

    Simplicity & Complexity: Uniclock, Cannes Titanium winner 2008

    Posted in Advertising, Animation, Blogging, Brand planning, Digital Marketing, Film, Integrated | No Comments »

    A worthy winner of the Integrated Cannes award. A compelling treatment from Projector Inc.  This online (embedded-blog-widget and micro-site) and offline execution (in-store digital display) is beautifully executed.  It inherently epitomises the spirit of the Global Uniqlo brand.  Functional, unique, charming and quirky, simple and complex with the product firmly centred at the heart of the experience.  Wonderful.

    The Technology behind Technology

    Posted in Blogging, Programming, Technology | No Comments »

    Bloody Spacers everywhere…not the smoking kind of Spacer, the transparent Gif kind. Tables too,  In vast convoluted never ending Html files. Makes me as dizzy as the other Spacer type – my recollection of early Html development, the messy and illogical structure of it all.

    It has been a surprising and rewarding experience to develop the Killerpoke blog theme. Having dedicated time -finally- to learning the full details of CSS, WordPress PHP Tags and Html, It has reignited my interest in the programming languages -proprietary and Open Source- of Web development and interaction design. How will these languages shape Web 3.0 and onward?
