Cu Chi

Makes you think re-evaluate your position. Nice writing, nice use of type.

Decades too Late

But creepy and inspired none-the-less.

Brand tags

This is Brilliant, and will go into a permanent link on the side. Brain Child of Noah Brier. Best described in his words:

Brand Tags: A collective experiment in brand perception. All tags are generated by people like you and do not reflect the opinions of the site owner or anyone else he knows. Have fun.

See what people think a brand is. If you'd rather, you can try guessing the brand from what people have tagged it or see what tags are most popular from different referring sites.

Brand Tags

Brands You Encounter

Her list seems a bit short, only the brands she uses in a day, I actually wonder if it would at all be possible to capture the brands that are vying for your attention throughout the day. Probably not. Hell, I have more brands staring me in the face sitting in my office, Apple, Nalgene, Boston, Lacie, Avaya, Sony, Charles Anderson, Pantone, House, NFL, Skull Candy, Oakley, Scotch, Skin It, Fiscars, Papermate, Post It, 3M, Renu, Buzz, ADCD, NDAC, Ready Mech, Philips, Bisley, One Club, Levis, Send Station, Veer, Wiley, TBWA, Wacom, Quaker, Royal Carribean, Duffy, Playstation, Filmlot, Holmes, Mido, Canon, Iomega, Pepto Bismalt, Verbatum, Motorola, Disney, Discovery Channel, Bristol, Sharpee, French Paper, Futurama, Nerf, Sanford, Firefox, Google, Blogger.com .....

Ok, that was a bit exhausting, only what I could see from my cube, only something with a logo on it qualified. Point well made. Original idea and time line from Dear Jane Sample, click there for more.

Spectra

MSNBC just launched Spectra, an new way to view your news, color coded and swirly. Pick your topics, and the reader will populate the vortex of news with headlines for you to dig in. I dig it, er...in. I was skeptical at first, but then, I am a visual guy, this is great. Check it out, Spectra.

Of coarse it would be soooo much better if as you click on a swirling headline, you got to read that story. Maybe they'll figure that one out next. Still pretty though.

Update_

It would be so much better if it remembered your news feeds, gave you artcles based on what you clicked and didn't need another page to load. All in all–YAWN. Pretty graphic may get my attention, but substance will keep me coming back.

Yummmmmmmm

Maybe it's because I'm hungry.

Verbal Abuse

Poweful, creative, informative, honest. I like.

Graphic Design Festival in (the) Nederlands

Hells yeah, any one else want to go to this? Too bad its not in Nederland, CO. then again, maybe it's better that way.

Threadless goes Pulpless?

Sick of tee's, looking to snazzy up your den-of-love? Head on over to Threadless.com. The user-generated T's company is now leaning towards screen printing. For what it's worth, the art and humor of the masses is usually refreshing.

Conserve

Simple, probably effective, although I question the audience.

Put on your Poker Face

Brilliant, well shot, well though, excellent casting. I only question if one of them go too far (probably less sensitive in France), but none-the-less, really enjoyed these. DDB Paris France.

Bubble Project

This was sent our way by our friends over at current_, and I have to say, such a deceptively simple idea that is well thought out. Watch the video and see what I mean, great insight into viral, corporations, advertisements, consumer dialog. Watch, Learn, Then hit the web site for more.

Apple Music Video

This just has to be produced by Apple, I mean it is just a features list. A really great way to show features, granted.

Street Animation

MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU from blu on Vimeo.

Forget the comments, just watch this. Then go do something cool.

Get Ugly

These are great, and not only because I have always wanted to have a death match with five-year-olds. Saatchi & Saatchi Auckland, New Zealand.

Student Work

Great work, and oh, by the way, student. Miami Ad School Europe. And the Egotist's article, School of Fools, not withstanding, there are some great sudent work around town too. If you are said student, with great work, share it here and get a little publicity to go with it.

Big Bubbles

Big bubbles, big fun. DraftFCB Indonesia (there's somewhere you don't see often). Nice color, well produced, great insite.

Hansen

The site is in Dutch, or something, so not a lot of details, but the look is very retro. I'd buy these just for the illustration.

Penguin

Oh Penguin, you keep making beautiful cover art, reminding me there isn't quite anything like a well designed book. You tease and please, just like a Bond Girl. Thank you, thank you.
