Beautiful ugly smokes

A hypothetical project. We all know that smoking is bad and that we probably shouldn’t do it, but how can design help communicate this more effectively to actually change behavior? In the U.K., where cigarette packages already scream out SMOKING CAUSES FATAL LUNG CANCER, a new law is being considered that would eradicate the branding from packs, making all packaging a generic shade of brown or grey.

#WeAreTheDestroyers part6

So now the destroying to create is done, it’s time that the campaign for the Nike destroyer jacket is taken to a mainstream level. Unique (sports) people talking about their drive. A bit boring and disappointing after a promising prologue. The campaign now evolved to ‘more than a game changer’.

Launching campaign Jay-Z bio ‘Decoded’


Decode on Times Square, New York…

…and on the bottom of a swimming pool.

Jay-Z has launched his autobiography and as you could expect from a somewhat megalomanic hip hop entrepreneur it went BIG. An extraordinary and never seen before launching campaign turning the marketing for a book in to an interactive event and even a hunt for pages of the book, placed in situations and place where they fit the content.

Clean cleaner design

Cleaning and detergent products; how exiting is that? Not very, you’d expect from the design point of view. But in the household and personal care industry a lot has been happening over the years and design rules are changing.
Once one of the dirtiest industries, is now becoming clean. The big guy’s are catching up on the small pioneers and now health and the environment has become an important issue in big brands future strategies. Continue reading ‘Clean cleaner design’

#WeAreTheDestroyers part3

And more info comming in via Twitter about Nike’s #wearethedestroyers campaign. Yesterday a shop has been opened in Hong Kong. Nike Sportswear worked with Joel Chu to “destroy and create” a new look for the retail space that is inspired by the style and culture of basketball, the result is a “massive constructin of a warped and distorted ball court”.

Online shopping on YouTube

YouTube is working hard on creating business models around their brand and network. After years of high promising potential they’re coming up with real money solutions. British fashion brand FCUK (French Connection) uses a YouTube channel, under the name Youtique, as a webshop. And, as far as I know, it’s the first in it’s kind on YouTube so far.
Stylist Louise Roe comse with dressing solutions for different occasions and after the advise you can click specific peaces of clothing that will lead you to the web shop where you can actualy buy it. With this FCUK uses the enormous network of YouTube to lead traffic to their webshop. Verry smart and good to see experiments like these. I’m wondering what FCUK paid YouTube for this campaign.


(A click on this video won’t bring you to the FCUK  webshop though ;-)
