  • Fun Feels Good

    I saw this on Jodi’s Blog the other day and thought what a brilliant way of showing how approaching an issue in a new or fun way can have terrific results by engaging the user in a visceral experience (see Anne’s blog for more on that). What’s also interesting is that this is entirely a…

  • Do The Skate!?

    That’s not a very nice thing to say about that girl… Oh what innocent times! 50 other examples of advertising in a bygone era here

  • EigenHarp

  • New York at 300fps

    I love the simplicity of this video and even though it has a U2 soundtrack, it still works really well at capturing the essence of New York. [vimeo 2910103]
