The other day was the first in the Cross Creative Series I’ve been invited to take part in. Cross Creative is a networking and training series of events for people in the digital industry. Episode one got the series off to a flying start:

Today is the day that Marty McFly visited in the future!
This is so cool but also makes me feel really old. I remember watching this and thinking that 2010 seemed impossibly far away. So where the hell are the hoverboards and auto-lace-up nikes?
Addendum: There’s still time!
“On October 26, 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown arrives from the future and tells Marty McFly and his girlfriend Jennifer Parker that he needs their help to save their kids in the future. They depart in the flying DeLorean time machine as Biff Tannen accidentally witnesses the departure. They arrive on October 21, 2015, where Doc electronically hypnotizes Jennifer to sleep and leaves her unconscious in an alley to keep her away from his plan.”
The screenshot of the time machine’s dashboard is a fake and it appears to have tricked loads of people, including me. The good news is, for the enterprising among us, there’s still time to invent the hoverboard etc.

Believe it or not, this advert is real. It made me feel like I was living in some fucked up future from Bladerunner or Robocop or something. Maybe I’m getting old, but having this sort of thing on the TV really freaks me out.
Is it just me?

Norman E. Timbs designed the superb, extravagant curves of the Buick Streamliner in 1949. 60 years later they have resurfaced thanks to David Cruise.

Quirky concept for Alfa Romeo by Bertone from the Geneva Motor Show. The broken shard detailing on the rear end and the wheels is superb. However the doors may be problematic if you have a garage with a low ceiling.
If you like it, there are more pictures here.
