Were you inclined to ride a bike, you'd have got to the next post so much quicker.

Yes. Their creation flow is one that creates a direct flow from their advertisement to the rise in sales, rise in share price or rise in whatever else they can find while not considering any other changes that night have contributed.
The inverted U - death by a thousand applications
Productivity is a good thing, it translates to more and better results using less resources. That way it even makes for a very "green" argument, plus it has a decidedly positive effect on corporate profits and government budgets. We obviously want that. But productivity is a combination of two p...
Spot on, but one word of warning. The advertising industry, amongst others, has an abundance of effectiveness awards - their common factor is to claim causation where only correlation exists.

And they say technology is being trivialised.

Now all they need is a sustainable power infrastructure.

I should write a blogpost about this.
Sapeurs
Love it. More about the Sapeurs here:
The packaging is the marketing.
The form not following the function
We got this over Christmas. It's a handy little tool for opening that horrible sealed plastic packaging that's everywhere these days. I have seen life hacks where they recommend you do this with a tin opener, but this tool is better. It comes packaged in that horrible sealed plastic packagin...
I'd go to that talk.
I've completed @michaelbierut's 100 days project
I've just finished Michael Bierut's 100 Days Project. Above is the final "design operation" and below is the first. I still like that one. The full 100 is here on Flickr. A quick recap. The brief (given by Michael to Yale students) is to do a "design operation" every day for 100 days. I ch...

Sebastian Errazuriz has created a series of high heel shoes to depict each of his twelve ex girlfriends' personalities. Telling. Via Brand Flakes for Breakfast
Never worse. But scratch a cynic and you'll find a disappointed optimist, so I'll happily applaud good stuff. Merry Christmas to you and yours too.

Clever, WestJet, clever. (Doddsy, fight your cynical urges.)

1) You're not at all selfish.
2) Why is clever a good thing in this context? I might agree if it weren't a Xmas campaign, but it is and I think that makes it look nasty.
3) What's happened to me? I must be unwell.
Harvey Nichols
Is this the best ad ever? Quite possibly.
Twitter fodder that overlooks the message that lingers - Harvey Nichols the store for the selfish.

Mr Bingo has a stupid name. No charge.
Hate
'Mr Bingo' accepts cash from people in exchange for sending them an offensive postcard. Brilliant. Via Creative Social

Popcorn
Researchers from Cologne University have concluded that chewing makes us immune to film advertising. More popcorn please.

Problems
I have a love hate relationship with Twitter. These images highlight some of the hate. Via Yellow Trace
Good luck. May you work through the grind and reach the sun-drizzled uplands of inspiration.
My Life as a NYT Op Ed illustration (I'm doing Michael Bierut's 100 days project)
I've decided to do Michael Bierut's 100 days project. I've always wanted to try it and last week I saw Michael talk about some of the little graphic illustrations he's done for the NYT and I wished I had done more work like that. Simple, quick, throwaway. So that's what I'll do for my 100 days....
Do they do any other letters?
