NAIJA'S FINEST

Being a design enthusiast and practitioner of Nigerian descent, it pains me when i can't see us on the map of global design excellence (cannes lions and the likes). We're literally nowhere to be found regardless of the number of photoshop wizards that reside in our nation. However, of recent, a smile has been brought to my face with the discovery of our very own design professionals, some individual, some organisations, that are putting out breath taking work. The following are my top 5 of Naija's finest in the design industry, based entirely and completely on my sole opinion, so therefore, no head biting!!

ALL STAR EVERYTHING.

As you may or may not know, 2 Sundays back was the NBA allstar game in Houston, and if you did watch it, you would have noticed the 'colourblocking' that went on with the kicks the stars were wearing. From Lemon Green to bright red as well as what seemed to be like 'peach-ish' pink on some players (Mamba Baba!) they flooded our screens with both Amazing talent and bold sports fashion.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Now you may or may not know this but a new American restaurant is about to pop up in Lagos, Nigeria.( where else but VI). Its called Johnny Rockets. Now according to wikipedia, Johnny Rockets is an American restaurant franchise whose concept is to create a classic American restaurant atmosphere. The theme is the diner-style restaurant. Decor includes  individual jukebox stations, chrome accents and red vinyl seats. The staff at some locations are known to sing and dance every half-hour. Making a smiley face with ketchup on the paper plate when served American fries is a Johnny Rockets trademark.

THE ART OF 'BONING' FACE

Have you ever noticed that musicians, most notably rappers(me included) like to do what we Nigerians call 'Bone', and no I don't mean the other thing. What I'm talking about is "the art (and/or science) of frowning and squeezing one's face so as to give a menacing and tough appearance and or image"- as quoted from Emjay's slang dictionary, sorry no link.( tee hee).

ALBUM ART AWESOMENESS

I originally planned to post something else, which I still shall post, but I got caught up in the awesome display of creativity from the album art of 2 rap artistes, who though known for their lyrical prowess do not strike me as the artistically creative types, but, i have been proven wrong. I mean i should have known better seeing as they both have some entrepreneural accomplishments as record label owners which requires some level of creative capacity as well as above-average acting credits, so it is possible for them to show forth some creativity outside of music to a large extent, but I digress.

End of Discussion bread and Obama Biscuits..no seriously.
