Advent of the year

With Christmas approaching, the competition to come up with the most original advent calendar is in full flow. And with digital media playing an integral part in our lives, it was inevitable that a design group would create a virtual calendar, just as Flag has done.

The 24 images reflect Yuletide themes, as well as more obscure ideas like the photo of a 1950s biker, who is the father of one of the team.

‘It is a reflection of us as individuals rather than a corporate statement,’ explains Flag chairman Robin Cameron.

Meanwhile, Hildebrand’s offering is a response to last year when it listed a cocktail recipe for each day. This year, they have come up with 24 hangover cures.
