Giant Bubble Bath_Sony's Marketing

Here is an example of some interactive (maybe considered Guerrilla) marketing by Sony.

Sony turned downtown Miami into an enormous bubblebath when it pumped 460 million liters of foam into the city streets and invited residents to play in it., with 200 of them filming their experience using Sony Cyber-shot digital cameras and camcorders.

What is kind of strange though - is the fact that it was conceptualized by Fallon London and the newly created 90sec spot will be airing on British TV. Why use the streets of North America?

Vintage Logotypes

Ran across this last night and loved seeing vintage design in comparison to todays modern work.

I Love Dust!

Don't you? Well, you might after you visit www.ilovedust.com, a design studio based in London England.

A very fresh way of enlighting their viewers and showcasing their portfolio - which is wonderful.

Office design

We are looking for new office space as we have outgrown our current location - and with that comes the chance to REDECORATE!!

Found this site called AIN'T NO DISCO that shows a great representation of design offices around the world.

What they all seem to have in common: Brainstorming rooms / Lounges/ Games Rooms / Open areas instead of offices and either lots and lots of colour or simple, clean white.  Oh and of course the resident dog (can't wait until the puppy is housetrained!!).

This has certainly got the creative juices flowing, and can't wait to find a new office so that we can start brainstorming the new look. Maybe a bowling lane or basketball court out back would be cool. Will keep you posted.

Adobe's Creative Marketing Solution

So, how do you market a product such as Adobe Creative Suite 3 that is worth thousands of dollars?
With an awe inspiring, mind blowing - how did they do that - flash demonstration of what the program can do and basically whatever you can imagine, you can make reality.

Adobecards.com - Adobe Creative License. Take as much as you want. A very cool, complex, yet mini flash video that you control - Hence the "take as much as you want" concept.

It starts off with a loading time that is frowned upon. Takes a few minutes on broadband connection, but in all honesty it is worth the wait.

You control the movement of the movie by using your cursor. We'll I won't say much more. Just take a look for yourself.

Orkin

I hate bugs, so this grosses me out but I have to admit its a very smart idea.

Signage for Orkin (Pest Control Service) was done in clear adhesive, overtime bugs god trapped to the adhesive and slowly formed the Orkin logo. 

Creative bookshelves!

The Equation Bookshelf by Marc Breder. Lets you divide things up by priority!

The Folding Bookshelf. Practical and looks great!

Nike Olympic footwear.....

Nike has designed a whole line of Olympic Footwear... one for every sport in the Beijing 2008 Olympics.

Besides the usuals like track and field, basketball, etc... what is VERY COOL to  me are their designs for things like Gymnastics, Wushu, Kayaking, Wind Surfing, Taekwondo, Equestrian, and Fencing.

   

I'm sure closer to the games they will release more info. I have no idea what WUSHU is but Iwant the shoes.

Industrial Design Ideas

The Jewellery Lamp

I have a crazy amount of jewellery so this one caught my eye. Decorate your lamps with your jewellery, neat way to not only store your jewellery (and I have crazy amounts!) but it reflects your taste.

The Twine Table

Drip Drop

El Camino Del Rey

This has absolutely nothing to do with design. Well, I guess who ever designed this walkway - is insane!!

(plus a customer sent this to me)

El Camino Del Rey - Originally built in 1901, this walkway now serves as an approach to makinodromo, the famous climbing sector of El Chorro.
