Emoticon War: You use too many emotions!


Crazy rocks!

Wired Sells 24,000 iPad Apps in One Day


Wired magazine app has been one of the most highly anticipated of all the magazine apps, released last week...
the app has achieved record purchases. To put it into perspective... GQ has sold 57,000 copies of its iPhone and
iPad apps combined over the past six months. It makes sense though, as the core readers all have an iPad.

UNKLE - Where Did The Night Fall

I've been meaning to post this for a while. Lovely AD from Ben Drury and photographers Warren du Preez and
Nick Thornton Jones. Haven't listened the album yet but heard it's more on the raw rock, indy, psychedelia tip.

Google Chrome Speed Tests - SPEED

You may remember the Google Chrome tests from the end of last year? SEE HERE...
Well now there are some new ones, this time with a focus on speed...



The making of...


It's been a real trend of the last year or so to make advertising more transparent by showing how things are made, in
the actual ad itself. This trend I see appearing more and more everyday, which I personally don't have a problem with,
due to brand transparency. But generally it does start to be a formated idea :-(

But in the case above, Google Chrome Speed Tests are tests! So it really fits in the concept to have how it's done
and a more behind the scenes look. This also makes a usually very technology based product much more humanistic
and interesting and appealing to a wider audience. Great job!!!

More info on how fast it is HERE...

Stefan Sagmeister - TVC


I seem to remember Sagmeister showing this at OFFF last year in Lisbon. I'm pretty sure he had nothing to do
with the Absolut ads in the latter of 2009... as it came under a lot of diss from the creative industry, due to various
reasons I won't go into now. Not that he invented this typography in situ style, but he did really reinvent it and make
it his own (which many designers jumped on in their work) Anyway I'm glad this is finally out and to see him moving
into other mediums with this typography style ;-) This will probably appeal more to non-creatives, designers etc are
probably subconsciously sick to death with seeing this type of typographic solution :-(

50 Years of Dr. Martens




Dr. Martins turned 50 this month and to mark the occasion they've stepped up their presence with some activities
to raise the heritage again and connect with new audiences. They've asked 10 artists to record their version of a cult
classic track which represents the spirit of the people who've worn DM's over the past 50 years. And also asked 10
directors to make videos for each of the tracks.

Nothing new concept wise, but nice content. But with such a history and fan base over the years it would be good
to somehow let fans interact and participant in the anniversary, everyone has a story with this brand.

CR Annual iPhone App

Kinda good if you miss the magazine every month, or skip their blog.
Next year, The Annual on an iPad right? Too much zooming on the iPhone!
Or probably the magazine will have a monthly iPad version by then ;-)

Greatest ad campaign ever!

I'm so bored with these types of case studies!
At least this has a twist and plays with that idea ;-)
I think it's time to come up with new ways to present creative cases!

Massive Attack use the promo art form, not just as a music video, but as a way to draw attention to Music Torture.
