Sound - by Soundcloud

Sound often plays second fiddle to visuals, try closing your eyes more often in daytime activities,
but maybe not when cooking or driving though.

I Am The Suit - 101
The new direction for the French Connection AW11 advertising has a nice fresh approach
in it's art direction and communication and should help raise the brand profile again.
One interesting part to this campaign, is where the creative has come from. The new UK
based agency 101 started up their shop in January 2011 and is essentially a breakaway
from Fallon London. The creative team is responsible for era-defining campaigns including
Sony's "Balls" and Cadbury's "Gorilla" and Eyebrows."
Expectations are high!

Sexy Fingers
One way to engage people and draw attention / awareness to a heavy, important issues is...
MAKE IT FUN!!! Add simplicity and good interaction (a game maybe) and you should have a winner.
In this new AIDS campaign for Rapid HIV testing, the message is simple;
one finger is enough to play, but also to get tested for HIV.
Check it out and try the game, it's harder than it looks!

Aaron Koblin: Artfully visualizing our humanity
via youtube.com
Aaron Koblin is the bridge between creativity and data.
If you know his work, nothing new here, except he's presenting it at TED!
His work and data visualization is set to become much more relevant in the
next few years, humanizing data and creating more sense through storytelling.

Don't forget about Japan!!!
TBWA London are behind this lovely designer Easter Egg concept. Japan still needs a lot of help, even if not
maybe front page news anymore. The effects have hit many industries worldwide and delayed the iPhone 5 :-(
But the most important thing is that help and aid continues, don't forget to help Japan rebuild!

This year, as part of The Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase at the Cannes Lions International Festival
of Creativity, Saatchi & Saatchi partners with Vimeo and Moby to discover
yet another unique filmmaking talent,
with a Music Video Challenge.
The brief is simple: interpret and bring to life the idea of 'Hello, Future' in the form of a fantastic music video
for one of Moby's tracks from his new album, 'Destroyed'.
The winner will be announced and their video screened at this year's New Directors' Showcase in Cannes,
as well as on the Vimeo site. Historically, many featured directors in the Showcase have gone on to seriously
successful careers: Tarsem, Michel Gondry, Mark Romanek, Spike Jonze, Ivan Zacharias, Kinka Usher,
Danny Kleinman and Jonathan Glazer included. No pressure.

A desktop app that allows you to organise your computer on Ikea shelves,
the folders are also Ikea products.
A great idea from Laboratory Ideas, based in Hungry.

BANKSY - LA hit, but will he win an Oscar?
Banksy is up for an Oscar this year for his documentary 'Exit Through The Gift Shop' and for the last couple of
weeks new street art pieces have been popping up all over LA. There is much speculation about his appearance to
the event on Sunday. I think he won't turn up, will he do a stunt if he wins, hopefully. Will he win? Probably not...
I hope so but I think it will go to this film below. Anyway the Banksy documentary is great, even if it is mockumentary.

The Life in a Day - Touchscreen Gallery
If you missed the amazing documentary 'The Life in a Day' you may be able to find it somewhere online.
It's well worth a watch from a filmmaking point of view, with honest and humanistic insight into the world we live in.

Ridley Scott is behind it and to cut a long story short, it's 80,000 clips (45000 hours) of footage cut into a 90-minute
fly on the wall documentary (shot by the people) about everyday people and their life. The best bits make it into the
movie. You can hear Ridley speak about the project in the clip at the bottom of this post.
From a digital data, information tech point of view, I think what these guys have done below is very cool!

Mulberry - Love Blossoms (Valentines Card)
There are plenty of cheesy online digital cards to send to your loved one today, but probably none as
lovely as these specially animated ones created by Daniel Brown for leather heritage brand Mulberry.
WARNING, they might expect a bag as well, and take this digital card as some type of clue.
Which would be a great clue if you do have a bag, online / offline integration ;-)

The Most Expensive Indian Film Ever!
What it lacks in story it seems to make up for in comedy action. Has anyone seen this film?
The Future of Art - an immediated autodocumentary
The Future of Art from KS12 on Vimeo.
Art is often a reaction to the world we live in and as the world around us is shifting, not just in terms of technology
but also within behaviour, it's really exciting to see how the art world is embracing and experimenting within it.
Not that artists are new to embracing technology, but there are much more possibilities opening up. It's interesting to
see how these individual perceptions and technologies are illustrated and explored within the art world.
Art often influences the advertising world (amongst other fields) due to style, original techniques and thinking,
I look forward to seeing more artistic reactions to the behavioral shifts to the world we are currently moving more into.
On the other hand, I like my classics so I imagine that original thinking and simplicity will be most influential to me.
One of the best things about art is that it's open to interpretation.
This is a great little documentary that doesn't try to answer all the questions, but rather bring them to the table.
A lot of great and influential speakers/artists in there as well ;-)
I'm not sure if I totally agree with Aaron Koblin and his opening line about time, maybe he has more time than most?

Back to blog...
Well it's been sometime since my last blog post! After a lovely extended Xmas and New Year holiday in Morocco...
we're well into 2011 now, it's almost like there wasn't any holiday or even a 2010. Where does the time go?
But being busy is a good thing ;-)
Thanks to all my readers/viewers in the world. The most interesting thing I've found is that I now have more
visitors from Australia, jumping up to number 2, below the US but just ahead of Sweden and the UK. Thanks Oz!
During my time away from blogging I've immersed myself in a lot of reading, 2010 in reflection and all the
fantastic predictions for 2011 and beyond. In January social media was ablaze with brands, forums and individuals
sharing and blogging like crazy. I decided to take the opposite approach and let everyone try and shout over each other...
opting to look for my own 2011, based on where we've been, 2010, industry innovations, social and people shifts... etc.

Mico-blogging has also sucked me in more, my iPad makes it a much easier way to view content faster and keep
informed, since July last year my UX with the device has shifted (tablets will change behavior a lot, but in time)
but my Read It Later apps have come more into play, resulting in a good way to store links but making it harder
to finish longer articles :-( I hope to reverse this habit this year, somehow.
2011
Apart from reading up on many different subjects lately, I've been rather busy with work projects and private
projects, some of which I will showcase here in the next few months.
And, as well as focusing on all the new creative inspiration and innovation stuff (as usual), I'll also be revisiting
and clearing out my blog folder (the vast collection of planned but never realized links) from over the years, to then
post the most creative, interesting and still valid things.
If time is on my side, or even not, I will endeavor to post more, realising the personal value of a blog again...
remembering why I originally started to blog, with or without visitors.
Anyway enough about me, check out this cool vid from London NYE...
When I first saw this after the holidays, my first impressions were...

When I first saw this after the holidays, my first impressions were...
1) Wow! Amazing! I miss London (well sometimes maybe)
2) WTF, 10 minutes of fireworks! Why didn't they give the money to charity or something/someone in more need?
3) Well, London and the UK are in need. After the hard y€ar or so, everyone can do with cheering up right?
Plus, this works as a great PR tool for the city of London, keeping it on the world map. The 2012 Olympics are just
round the corner, London needs those tourists!
Have a great 2011, more posts coming, speak soon ;-)
