There is a thin line between a good photographer and a great photographer, a great photographer constantly keeps trying to figure out new ways to explore the photography boundaries. If you’re up for another photography challenge you must give a try to the Digital Camera toss technique.

You really have to be brave to try the art of camera tossing, but as long as you don’t drop the catch the mind-bending photos that result after the toss are really worth it. Categorized under kinetic photography there are no particular rules for a proper camera toss as long the end picture looks good.

After a few trails we jumped into a conclusion that: There surely are two ways to achieve a good camera toss; one with proper daylight and the other with any glowing source of light in the dark to achieve a perfect natural abstract snap. You can see some of the best photographs using the Camera-toss Technique.

Menos es Mas is a new drink from Coca-Cola for Spain, designed by . Illustrations by :

“Menos es Más”(less is more in Spanish) is a drink that stands for what it is. No bs here (pardon our French). It doesn’t make you taller, or thinner, or more attractive, it’s just a drink! But it is a little easier on your wallet and the environment, and don’t we all want more of that?

worked with Coca-Cola Spain to create a joyful expression for this mighty little drink.

, a London based agency, created new packaging design for Tate art sets:

“Tate sell within their gallery stores art sets aimed specifically at older children (5+). Until now these products had an inconsistent look and feel. Tate approached Buddy to create a consistent Tate branded range which would communicate what’s in the packs and inspire their use.

used simple colour and clean communication to achieve this, drawing inspiration from the contemporary art world (artists including Damien Hurst and Bridget Riley) and the products themselves.”
