LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

The Magic Bean Laboratory is a project set up to investigate things that interest its founder (me). These are mostly:

* "crowdsourcing in all its forms", and

* "what happens when the atoms of the real world meet the bits of the digital world"

It is an enthusiastic, and mildly eccentric project; focussed on creating products (like web-services, research, software, and events) -- some of which will thrive and survive; but many of which will fail.

The Magic Bean Laboratory is an international project -- but the overall tone should be late Victorian/early C20 England

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

A logotype (for cards, company documents etc.)

A vevtor-based illustration based on the logotype suitable for a blog header.

A "Magic Beans Inside" button for projects.

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

The target audience is -- ultimately -- advertising agencies, media buying agencies, public relations and communications agencies and the digitally-literate people who work for them.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:

The machine drawings of Heath Robinson

steampunk art (but more like Steamboy and less like http://bit.ly/cAfBz0 and/or Giger)

1980s classic video games

pixelart

graffiti

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE THIS IN OUR DESIGN:
