Close your eyes and imagine the colours and textures of paradise. Is it what it seems? This brief we're inspired by the jungles of Malaysia and Bali(and a little by Portlandia too). Since we were so slack last brief we've given ourselves and everyone else a little more time- this one is open for a whole month!
