Tesla Roadster – the first impressions: you know, the electric sports car? I can’t wait to hear Top Gear’s review of it. The torque curve sounds off the chart (0 – 6000rpm at max torque!).

Here’s a challenge for you: what will communication look like in 3 – 5 years? Two of my housemates are currently studying Moving Image Design, and that is their design brief for a theorhetical ad for Orange (project is sponsored by Orange and winner takes home a small prize for their efforts).
