Hasta La Creative!

The stabbing of Palwasha Tokhi adds to a toll that was already the deadliest for the news media in the country since the fall of the Taliban.

Breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel, which has previously urged college students to touch each other’s breasts and presented us with the Topless Female Trampolining World Championships, is, again, placing breasts front and center in its efforts to call attention to breast cancer.

The charity has launched a new billboard and print campaign which consists of naked images of woman’s breasts adorned with the one word each woman in the photograph uses to describe her breasts. From sensitive, to doughy to squidgy to firm, the effort aims to get women (and everyone else) comfortable with examining breasts for lumps and discussing breast cancer in general.

A social element of the campaign encourages discussion with the hashtag #WhatNormalFeelsLike. And a pop up store opening today will showcase all of the campaign ads that were shot by British photographer Rankin who must be awesome because, you know, he has just one name.

The store will also be home to a Boob Booth, a photo booth in which woman can photograph their own bare-chested beauty. Those who do will be given a CoppaFeel goody bag filled with I Love… Cosmetics. And, free CoppaFeel-inspired manicures will be provided by WAH Nails.

Warning. Naked images below.

If Scotland votes yes to independence tomorrow, its major cities would become outliers, London will become more of a competitor for business and the remaining UK will be diminished, warned Martin Sorrell, chief executive and founder of WPP.

A Apple prometeu para hoje a chegada do novo iOS 8, que traz algumas novidades como a possibilidade de usar teclados customizados e os modelos de compartilhamento entre familiares, e muita gente está ansiosa para atualizar o seu iPhone.

Fica sempre a dica de fazer o backup dos seus dados ANTES de atualizar, apenas para se prevenir caso alguma pane aconteça.

No entanto, será que você já reparou no quanto o sistema operacional móvel da Apple mudou desde que foi lançado, lá em 2007?

Esse infográfico traz uma linha do tempo das principais mudanças de funcionalidade e também de design dos iOSs, desde o primeiro até o iOS 8, que deve chegar hoje milhares de iPhones do mundo inteiro.

É bacana reparar como os ícones foram ficando mais minimalistas e simples, com modificações mais drásticas nos aplicativos de câmera (que estranhamente saiu das lentes para uma representação de uma câmera fotográfica), do rolo de câmera (que passou de um girassol para uma flor estilizada) e do aplicativo de previsão do tempo.

Para os mais ansiosos, não há motivo para pressa – a Apple só deve liberar o download do iOS 8 às 10 da manhã em Cupertino, por volta das 14h no horário do Brasil.

If you always suspected that a pale ale would rate a shimmering, golden 604C on the Pantone color system, have a pint on me.

Spanish agency Txaber matches brew types with their Pantone hues in this stylish package design exercise. It’s reminiscent of last year’s “Beertone” cards that provided the exact color values of various beers in RGB, CMYK and HTML code. Here, however, we get simple, gorgeous cans and bottles that really let the shades of the suds inside shine through.

See the whole collection on the Txaber site.

Beer packaging has been a powerful muse in the design world, inspiring some impressive work. The comeback of the can, particularly among craft brewers, “opened up a 360-degree canvas for label designers typically restricted to the few stickers on a beer bottle,” according to my AdFreak colleague David Griner. That’s true, though some creative types have made heroic efforts to sass-up humble glass containers and do that medium justice, too.

I like Txaber’s restrained, elegant approach. You get lots of color and, in tiny typeface (HipstelveticaFontFamily, which is free to download), the beer names and Pantone designations. That’s all you need. The results are especially compelling when the cans and bottles are grouped together. Their hues play off one another like the bands of a rainbow, ranging from pale ale’s carefree vibrance through the playful, almost purplish tones of the porter’s 1817C to the dark grandeur of imperial stout at 426C.

Though, as we’ve learned, nothing represents the vibrant soul of “black” quite like Guinness.
