James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 21/05/2025I got their latest subscriber cover through the post this week It might just be Yoji Shinkawa artwork thrown on a white background but it is cool, objectively 😎 010
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 21/05/2025I feel like a proper professional, making a brand kit Even if it's just for me, the sole employee, so I don't forget what colours to use. Not sad, very professional! 010
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Today I found out Five Guys don't fuck around when you ask for extra seasoning 100
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 20/05/2025I remade that awesome piracy ad from the 2000's for a YT short about stealing page design inspiration Sometimes I remember the power of being a video editor, I can make this say whatever I want! Is this how artists feel when they draw Shrek playing poker with Goku and Jesus or whatever? 080
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 19/05/20253D printing is HARD so I'm fortunate to know a plastic wizard He's helping me make a mould, from which I can make a silicon stamp, that can then be used to mark my envelopes (and the backs of people's hands if I ever get a comicon booth 😎) #3dprinting 010

James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 16/05/2025Early 3D renders can be so creepy I love Ape Escape but this monkey looks like he's gonna make a blanket out of my skin #apeswillescape 041
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 16/05/2025As an uncultured southerner, I didn't know Scotland was THIS beautiful Mind you, all I'm thinking is how good of a psx style horror game setting this dam would make Resident evil style puzzles and fish-based enemies, etc. Who wants to make a game studio? 050
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 16/05/2025You can't just be a solo artist in 2025, you also have to be a self-employed social media manager/advertiser/video editer So I make shorts for my magazine It's probably good practise to stretch these creative muscles that I wouldn't have otherwise. I'm thankful my mind understands Premiere Pro 010
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 15/05/2025When someone asks me what I'd do if I won the lottery, the answer is always revive the London Trocadero Infinity money is for building megastructures filled with arcade machines, not buying 3 yachts 041
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Page 3 used to be THE prime spot in gaming mags. A proper place to be creative and tease features hidden further in the pages Here's a Tekken 4 one from PLAY issue #79 and my @playrematch.com (same studio that made Sifu!) one from the upcoming UPM issue #2 What do you think? Effective or boring? 031
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 14/05/2025Surf's Up has crept into my top 10 films as I've gotten older. I think I wanna live by the ocean now... Anyway here's like, the best sequence in the film 020
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 13/05/2025I'm a complete layman when it comes to architecture but I've always been a fan of sprawling mega structures and brutalism Walking to Waterloo today, I saw this awesome overhang... thing. Do those windows make reading nooks in top floor flats? Very cool nonetheless 130
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Here's some of my page design stuff to get a grip on my style too, actually (3/2) 010

James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Phantasy Star Universe (2006) Don't these just look like 3D FA renders? You can almost always count on 2000's gaming aesthetics for Frutiger Aero inspiration Source: this is essentially a repost of the following tweet: x.com/JPGameAesthe... #frutigeraero 1271
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Disney Website (2008ish) As usual, the sentiment is stuff now = flat, minimalist, boring & stuff then = fun, interesting, colourful Check out Disney.com today and you'll see that the difference is HUGE. Much less personality now Source: www.reddit.com/r/FrutigerAe... #frutigeraero 3337
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 18/03/2025This Uber Boat advert I saw on the London Underground. It shows the shard on what appears to be a lone island on a calm ocean. Looks very FA. Wish I took a better picture! #frutigeraero 0160
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 17/03/2025Sony Vaio print ad (2001) Maybe a little more y2k than FA but you can still feel it. Sony Vaio ads always have this vibe - keep an eye out for them! #frutigeraero 0397
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Sims 3 OST - Identity Check (2009) Sims 3 will always be a peak FA game to me with it's sound effects, glossy menus and (of course) music! This is a song that plays during the character creator. Sends me back in time instantly... #frutigeraero 1103
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 15/03/2025The Nissan Cube I saw one out in the wild today with the goldfish graphic, incredibly cool. Just the back window design alone makes it a Frutiger Aero car if you ask me. #frutigeraero 0101
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 14/03/2025The PlayStation Home central plaza (2008) Many consider Home to be the first meta-verse. It was way ahead of it's time in concept and sadly shut down in 2015 That plaza though... #frutigeraero 0223
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 13/03/2025The Matched trilogy by Ally Condie (2010-2012) Everyone remembers Divergent, Maze Runner and Hunger games but here's another Teen Dystopia with insanely cool FA designs. I particularly like the red one, an underused colour in the aesthetic! #frutigeraero 1133
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Nestle Pure Life print ads Nestle sucks ass but these ads got gold FA vibes to them #frutigeraero 1222
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 11/03/2025The 2000 Sony WM-EX615 Walkmans are always gonna be cool #frutigeraero 0326
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Sonic Riders (2006) At times, this game has a real strong FA vibe to it There's your typical blues and greens along with the futuristic settings of the first few levels #frutigeraero 1257
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 09/03/2025These chairs described on the Walmart website as... "LeisureMod Astor Acrylic Dining Chair with Water Ripple Design & Metal Legs" Lovely stuff #frutigeraero 0325

James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 19/01/2025The 'Welcome Back' PSN screens after the famous outage of 2011 I remember picking up Infamous after the network came back online, good times I should've gotten LittleBigPlanet though... #frutigeraero 0241
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 08/01/2025Hey folks, uni and stuff has left me a little busy so no posts for a week or two now - you'll have to do without me! In the meantime, here's like the most popular Frutiger Aero image ever. It originates from Asadal Design Source: editphoto.asadal.com/best_all.htm #frutigeraero 1496
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Art of Balance (2010) This physics puzzle game was released on Wii originally but came to 3DS, Wii U, PS4 and now Switch too It's super Frutiger Aero in the visuals but also the score, check it out! #frutigeraero 0448
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Passengers (2016) This film has some very sleek, Frutiger Aero interiors for the spaceship The original ending is way cooler than the one we got in the movie, looks it up! #frutigeraero 0223
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Boohbah (2003) Despite freaking me out as a kid, this show had some mad Frutiger Aero sets going on Very glossy fever dream kids show #frutigeraero 3324
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Windows Mobile 6.1 (2008) An operating system for Windows mobile devices It was discontinued in 2013 which makes it an epitome of the aesthetic! #frutigeraero 0388
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 03/01/2025Click (2006) Despite being a huge meme a couple years ago, this movie does have some mad Frutiger Aero design/vibes Particularly when Adam Sandler uses the menu like in the first pic #frutigeraero 0243
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Today's Google Doodle I'm seeing clouds and a beautiful blue gradient, doesn't the New Years doodle feel like Frutiger Aero? The reflective text reminds me of Y2K rendered graphics, it's a nice fusion! Find out more: doodles.google/doodle/new-y... #frutigeraero 1282
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 31/12/2024iPod Nano 2nd generation (2006) Sleek Colourful Nostalgia Frutiger Aero #frutigeraero 0224
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 30/12/2024The Super Mario Galaxy series (2007-2010) The two galaxy games have brilliant moments of Frutiger Aero levels and vibes More than anything though, I feel like the music that accompanies the series applies itself to the aesthetic the most #frutigeraero 0282
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 29/12/2024McDonalds Oxford Street It doesn't look like this today but the store once had a great design! I'm hoping for a return personally... Source: frutigeraerolifestyle on Insta: www.instagram.com/p/C90fC28StC... #frutigeraero 0233
James Leys (Daft Lump) @daftlump.bsky.social · 28/12/2024Veolia Learning Center What seems to be a mockup of an advanced, futuristic learning space Pretty sure it's a mockup and part of a portfolio. Pretty liminal and sleek! Source: midasdesign.com.hk/portfolio/ve... #frutigeraero 1345
