One Show Press

These are just plain well written. BooneOakley, Charlotte

Content

The audience knows what it wants. This is a short film, made by fans for fans (made by talented fans to be sure) that is an extension of the films. Looks well produced, and will be free to download. Yes, the audience know what it wants, and will make it if they need to.

Google Chrome Shorts

Let the browser wars start. OK, maybe not that heavy, this is a great way to introduce a product to the world because who really wants to talk browsers when they can talk about movies, by a lot of people. These were the ones I liked, but go find your favorites here.

Rescue

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.
Really sweet video using some tilt shift photography. The miniature nature make this so irresistable.

We've Got Time

This is wonderful. Just wonderful.

Bold, Detergent

Not sure i have seen this idea before. Really love the photography and photoshop. Grey, Chile

Stand By Me, Street Version

There has been a lot of talk about content and sharing in my day today, then I found this over at Gizmodo. If ever there was something that was relevant to a person, would it not be music + need + talent + giving someone a chance. Playingforchange.com traveled the world, found a talented group of people who would never meet each other and put together one incredibly moving piece of art. If ever I had hope for the world, this seemed to make it now. God bless the internet, this is what it was meant for.

More Scrabble

These are catchy. Ogilvy&Mather, Paris, France

It's Metter to Bix Things Up

Yes it's off color, but it does reinforce the copy line.

Neglected

Every now and then you find something brilliant. JWT, Melbourne, Australia.

Gorillaz Creators

Another one of those documentaries that I would like to see.

Rethink Your Package

More of this, for real products would make life finer. Clever work, Ramm ND, a Russia.

Change Art

Nice interactive piece offline. Could see people compulsively completing this. Okay, maybe just me.

SCRABBLE FOOL

It's been around for a long time, and lately there have been some great ads for it. Seems to be the new Lego for the award shows. That said, this is different than what we have seen. Almost gives an edge to the old school board game. I'm here to say, either way, the word is cool.

Nike Presents

Onwards from akqa on Vimeo.

This was an animation experiment produced by Artist James Jarvis that would ultimately be his expression of running. He had Nike in mind when he produced it, what really catches my attention is the Nike Sponsorship. For years now we have been talking about user generated this and that, but it now has a form to follow. Really interested to see where this is headed and if it sparks something more.

Sub-Prime

subprime from beeple on Vimeo.
Love the simple shapes and incredible detail that was put into this. Fun to watch, not much more, but it did brighten my day, and maybe yours.

A Designer You Should Know

Ran into Amanda Babcock @ the Cultivator FAC, and was most impressed by her demeanor,

and her portfolio. If you are looking to hire anyone in the near future, she's a keeper. You can contact her @ babcocka@gmail.com

Award Show Judge Bryan Jessee

Hey, if you are not aware, consider this your own personal Awareness Message. The ADCD Annual Awards show is live and the Call for Entries has been announced. Want more, go to the online entry form and rules here. In the meantime, gather your best work of the last year and get it in. Remember, you can not be identified as one of Denver's best if your work is not listed as Denver's best. Besides, we have a steller group of judges, why not read about one right now?





We reached deep into cattle country to pull a star out of the Lone Star State. Bryan Jessee is a well-known veteran in these parts with a resume touting a who’s who of Texas ad agencies. GSD&M. The Richards Group. And today, McGarrah Jessee, an agency nestled in Austin that he co-founded with Mark McGarrah. The 75-person agency is quite a noisemaker, being represented in top advertising and design shows for clients such as Shiner Beer, Frost Bank, and Whataburger. McGarrah Jessee also hooked and reeled in honors for architectural design and two publications, proving that Bryan’s agency is one to keep a good eye on. They also operate a design arm called Chaos Concept Manufacturing.
