This is a selfish post just for me and it's a mental "Hip hip hooray!" because this has literally been plaguing me for yonks. So everyday I pick up my Guardian to read on the bus into work and everyday I'm confronted with these genius and complicated pages of prop styling, designed to advertise their jobs site but really is too much of a diversion for me to even think about employment. I kept meaning to find out who had taken the time to source plastic stationery and bits and bobs, in seven rainbow colours and arrange them just so with the perfect waved shape to bung some text in. A quick catch-up on Fred Butler's alarmingly up-to-date blog told me that the person behind this work isn't in fact Fred (that's who I initially thought it was…) but Andy MacGregor who along with this bit of work has also created props for Tim Walker shoots…
He also happens to be the face of Aquascutum's S/S 10 menswear lookbook (shot by Emma Summerton, styled by Edward Enninful) which I received today… apparently Andy is blessed with nimble fingers AND good looks as he's also been modelling for Paul Smith and Hermes I believe…
Multi-talented and good looking people are frustrating folk… someone's going to tell me he's also a supremo electro remixer on the side too right?
Wow, he is really attractive, as in “the type that attracts people”.
Blimey! He has it all going for him.
Yay for Tim Walker (:
Genius prop styling is right! That is awesome!
I love those advertisements! They’re absolutely perfect.
Talented and attractive? Wow! Those props are truly something.
wow thats an amazing advert, guess it would take up boring bus journey time by looking at all the objects in it.
I love those ads – how have I not seen them before?!
I love those ads to and had no idea it was him! Dang his charmed ways and bless him too.
It’s so much fun to look at such kind of advertisement- the colours are popping, the multitude of objects look very interesting, truly amazing!
Love those Guardian ads. There’s an artist called Tony Cragg who does similar stuff but usually with bits of waste plastic and brightly coloured rubbish.
