Stereotypical Imagery Detracts From Inspirational Article


I was flipping through my wife's issue of People magazine when I ran into an article about a Mexican-born executive who grew up in an orphanage and, now that she is successful, created an organization that raises funds to help orphanages in Mexico similar to the one she grew up in. It is an inspiring story. But they dressed the kids stereotypically.

Brandhouse Drive Dry: A Life Wrecked

Brandhouse liquor company’s Drive Dry initiative wanted those attending the Whisky Live Festival to be discouraged from driving home under the influence. The personal belongings of Heather Cosser – a woman killed by a drunk driver – were collected from her family. Her belongings were crushed with an entire car in a heavy-duty compressor. An installation was created to dramatise that drinking and driving wrecks more than just your car.

Buff Einstein Gets GMC Sued


Looks like Einstein-based humor is … wait for it … relative. (Bad joke, worse science.) Last fall, GM ran a four-page spread in People's "Sexiest Man" issue for the Terrain. It featured the head of Albert Einstein grafted onto the body of a shirtless hunk. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem wasn't amused.

A TV Show to Love, About Finding Love on TV


"Lost" has bid a final farewell, leaving a trail of undercooked allegories in its wake. "Glee" now feels the need to include three teachable moments ("tolerance is cool!") per episode. David Simon has barred everyone but Anne Rice and Drew Brees from watching "Treme," because viewers just can't love New Orleans as much and as hard as his supremely annoying characters do. "Justified" and "Breaking Bad" are nearing the end of their seasonal runs; "Mad Men" isn't due back until late July. So what's left to fill this gaping void in our lives, the one we've tried unsuccessfully in the past to fill with family and/or handheld electronic devices?

Volkswagen: Digital Automotive Space

Seguindo a onda de algumas marcas que começaram a apostar em estratégias de presença no requisitado tablet da Apple, a Volkswagen decidiu lançar uma e-Branded Magazine (revista virtual da marca) especialmente desenhada para o iPad. O título da nova publicação digital é DAS, as siglas de “Digital Automotive Space“.

O aplicativo, cujos conteúdos se atualizarão a cada três meses, abrigará informações sobre a VW que não são conhecidas habitualmente pela grande massa de consumidores. A primeira edição da DAS será dedicada ao modelo Touareg, tendo como principal objetivo proporcionar uma nova experiência de interação da montadora com seus clientes mais especiais.

A agência holandesa Readerhouse Brand Media foi a encarregada de desenvolver o aplicativo, direcionado para todo o mercado europeu.

Skateistan

Skateistan

Em meados de 2009, o fotógrafo Noah Abrams viajou para o Afeganistão. Você já deve imaginar que seu trabalho tinha a ver com guerra ou os efeitos dela, ou ainda das condições precárias de vida em uma cidade planejada para 200 mil pessoas, onde hoje vivem 5 milhões.

Ainda que isso fique evidente nas fotos, Noah tinha outro objetivo com suas lentes: capturar a emergente cena de skate no Afeganistão. Intitulado “Skateistan”, o trabalho se integra com outra produção, a de um documentário sobre a escola de mesmo nome, que une skate e educação em Kabul.

Você pode ver o trailer do documentário abaixo, e não deixe de conferir as fotos no site noahabrams.com. O fotógrafo revela que mais do que garotos e seus brinquedos, o que encontrou foi um sopro de vida no país destruído pelas bombas.
