Looking at the title of this video, I thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was in for.
I was wrong… so so wrong.
If you’re brave enough to associate yourself with the video (and fight the good fight for net neutrality), you can nerd it up with your very own cotton billboard.
After a loooong hiatus (about 2-1/2 years by my watch) Sean’s reinvents reinvigorate, one of the best analytics tools I’ve had the pleasure of using. Like most things these days, it’s a closed beta. I got my invite out of the blue today — can’t wait to get the code going and check out the new features.
Wieden+Kennedy’s Portland office runs a very cool experimental ad school called WK12. Embracing Dan Wieden’s credo “You’re only good to me after you’ve made three tremendous mistakes”, the 12 gathered 150,000 push pins, what looks like a 10′ wall, and a little free time to deliver their message to the world, “Fail Harder”.
That looks like the kind of project, after about an hour into it, you wish you hadn’t started. Way cool.
Nice copywriting and package design from the good folks at Target. Proving – once again – you always have the opportunity to make something cool, even if it’s a little project.
Fossil is running a tin design contest. Top prize is $1,000 bucks, a tin featuring your design (duh), and best of all (IMHO), a trip to their design studio in Dallas.
They started the contest in June and it looks like they have a paucity of entries (and even fewer quality submissions). So you have until September 12 to get your design on and have good odds on some good loot.
A little Saturday morning cartooon flashback:
Urban Photo Safari got a write up in the Kansas City Star this weekend. (scroll to the bottom of the page.)
Way to go Dean! Hopefully this will translate into an even bigger turnout next year.
