Career Advice For College Students

It's got a boring, circa 2002 web look, but this article has good advice for anyone, especially students getting ready to spread their wings and fly, fly, fly.

Start doing these things now, because in four months you're outta here. Well, a lot of you anyway.

Hope you had a happy new year and merry xmas.

Congrats, Jaime

I saw this from across the street while walking to get lunch the other day. The homeless man/beast tamer must be a millionaire by now because he was getting cash from everyone.

Sound Map

Hey everyone,

I just came across what I think is a really cool idea: mapping a city by its sounds. (Remember the NYC map of scents?)

This, as you may know, is a map of London. It's broken up into sectors; you can click on each one to hear a couple of minutes of recorded ambient city sounds. It's actually really interesting, and useful if you want to make believe you live in a real city.

Check it out here:

Eichborn: Fly Banner

To promote their exhibition stand at the Franfurt Book Fair, Eichborn the publisher with the fly prepared 200 flies with an ultra light banner. The banner was attached with natural wax. After a short time the banner dropped off by itself. And the flies were not harmed.

I Lego N.Y.

I found this unexpected, super-simple, leapy-as-shit feature (where else) in The New York Times over the weekend.

Including something like "I Lego N.Y." in your book will get you a job wherever you want. Serious. I really encourage all of you to have something, anything amongst all those ads that's not an ad. Done right, it will charm and catch creative directors off guard, and say more about you than any campaign ever could.

Coolest Video Ever?

Wow. Just... wow.

C'etait un Rendez Vous

The comments on this are hilarious. Read them. I would like to believe that the sound isn't dubbed. It diminishes the film's greatness, somehow.

Whipple's worst nightmare expounds on being simple, getting the expected stuff out, and sucking a lil bit. Among other things. Well worth your time.

Index goes down, clothes come off

Unexpected viral/web idea for Puma. The worse the world financial indexes do, the more clothes the models take off.

And in case some of you think it's sexist, they feature male models doing the same thing.

Unfortunately, as you can see from my lame pic, the indexes are doing pretty well today.

Oct 5: Forgotten Animals Day

October 4 was World Animal Day. And this year October 5 was Forgotten Animals Day in The Netherlands.
The Dutch Dierenbescherming (foundation for protecting animals) is asking attention for animals who are forgotten on World Animal Day. The voice over is Dutch spoken but it’s clear what this is all about.

For the writers (and art directors) in the class.

Check out this awesome article on writing headlines (if you haven't already) from ihaveanidea.org. Through the magic of modern file sharing via the tubes on the Interwebs, I can now share it with all of you:

Have a great weekend, and I hope you guys bring in lots and lots and lots of things on Monday showing me how much you've fleshed out and how far you've pushed your campaigns.

Or else.

Love,
