A million facebook likes







Seems brands want to say thank you for likes on facebook.

What always blows my mind is the money clients pay for an agency to set up a facebook page.

Interesting photography





Most photographers use digital manipulation to tidy up a shot. Change the levels etc. But this guy does everything in camera still. Check out the way he uses colour. Simple but effective.

Kanye West Power




Check out Kanye West's new spot for his single Power. It's done by the Artist Marco Brambilla, and i have to say, it's quite stunning.

It's concept is inspired by the paintings of Michaelangelo. The nice twist is that everything has some slight movement to it. A painting for the digital generation if you will.

From the looks of things Kanye is beginning to believe that he's god.

One thing at a time Kanye.

This is the clean version with the models all clothed. Go here to see all the models naked. But only if you want to.

Too good not to post



Nothing feels forced (pardon the pun) in this TV spot for VW. This could be a comedy sketch that happens to feature a VW.

Creative Directors to try and work with

We had the pleasure of working with two Creative Directors last year who have really inspired us.

Alex Grieves (CW) and Adrian Rossi (AD) have done some truly amazing work. And it's work that you actually remember!

They always start with insight and simple ideas. Then they execute them brilliantly.

If we make one of these type of ads in our career we'll be happy. Take a look a look at some of their best work.



Alex said that this script went from a page long to a simple sentence. Something like... We open on an island and millions of women are running at a man spraying Lynx.

He wrote it a lot better than that obviously.



Audi - Rhythm of lines.


A great cinema ad that really hits home. I won't spoil it.

They also did these posters that have photography from Nadeev Kandar!


This has to be one of the most talked about ads of the beginning of the millennium. Everyone should remember this.

QR codes get pretty

The normal QR code that 'the entire world' know about...right?

Peringon
Don Perignon's sexy QR codes that point to the campaign below



QR codes. Every one in advertising has heard about them. Everyone else hasn't.

They are a coded image that when photographed by a smart phone, sends it a link to an image, URL or video.

It's a very smart barcode if you want to explain it to someone out of advertising.

It seems they are finally making their way onto posters in this country.

We saw this nice example of how they can be incorporated into a brands logo. It means they don't stick out like a black and white sore thumb on the page.

They can now work with the look of a poster and give the people who know what it is more information.

Nifty stuff hey?

The company that do them are called Set Japan.
