Damien Poulain and some kids create awesome space rockets for a German bank

Date
1 February 2013

Chances are the the banking sector doesn’t conjure up ideas of creativity, imagination and playfulness (unless you are very straight-laced) but Damien Poulain is just the man to change all that. He was commissioned by director Johan Kramer to work with a group of kids to produce some spaceships for German bank BVR – and the results are simply splendid. What the weird and wonderful designs may lack in aeronautical potential they more than make up for in a riot of colour and shapes. So come on NASA chaps and chapesses, why not throw away your technologically excellent designs and take a gander at what Damien’s done to see what rockets should REALLY look like.
