I like the idea of a Humanitarian Lion, and I know many ad people want to do meaningful work, if only to wipe away the stench away.
What say you, would you, or the agency you work for, take part in something like this? Would your clients?
(TrendHunter.com) Camera bags and phone pouches are functional, protect your gear but are so boring. Hine Mizushima’s handcrafted bags are anything but boring.
These functional art pieces for your purse are fun, funky, colourful conversation pieces. Great not just for cameras and phones but cosmetics, ipods and…

The Pint Series is a project created by Matthew Barton, consisting of different series of printed postcards made by designers from all over the world.
These series go from 3 to 5 images each, they’re 6″x4″, and the price is US$20 plus shipping.
The nice part about this is that you can send your own series, anf it gets chosen, they send you a printed copy for free, and a set of 100 limited editions get put up for sale. Also you get US$500 plus a donation made on your behalf for US$250 to the As Green As It Gets foundation.
I already sent in my “Sensuality Series”, so if you want to purchase it, just click here.
Plus, I was interviewed by them. You can read the interview here or after the break.

DQ + The Pint Series.
The Interview:
TPS: What does the name of the series mean?
DQ: The series is called “Sensuality Seriesâ€. The idea behind it was to portray female sensuality as a variable thing. Women can be sensual in very different states and here I tried to show three of them: Cute, Elegant and Hard.
TPS: What inspired the series?
DQ: Women. I think women are an infinite source of inspiration.
TPS: What are you currently doing in terms of client work?
DQ: I’m doing some t-shirts for a company from Thailand and setting up a few websites for some companies back in my country.
TPS: What do you want to do in the design industry?
DQ: I’d really like to work as an art director someday. But also I’d like to try out as much stuff as I can. I’m really into print these days and I’m trying to sort of leave the digital-only world.
Nothing like seeing your work printed out nicely.
TPS: What other personal project have you got going on?
DQ: I’m doing several collab works with different designers from all over. Setting up a project for chilean designers, but it’s still in early stages, so can’t tell you much about that, but be on the lookout.
TPS: Who are your influences?
DQ: I’m always kinda “on the spot†with this question, ’cause the influence list for me is huge.
Just to name a few, but in no case the only ones: Alberto Seveso, Mike Orduña, Pete Harrison, Nelson Balaban, Radim Malinic, etc, etc.
Still, they’re in no way the only ones. the list is practically infinite. too many hot designers out there.
TPS: What programs did you use to make these?
DQ: I used Photoshop CS2 on practically everything. Except for the fragments detaching from the girls, which I made in Cinema4D.
TPS: Are you available for Freelance inquires?
DQ: I’m currently going to college, so intense freelance work gets pretty tricky. But still, I’m always up for new projects.

As a fresh newcomer in freelancing, I wanted to approach some creative directors by delivering them a small poly-wrapped meat tray containing ‘a fresh brain’ = my business card. The label was personalized for each person. Number under the barcode is my phone number. On this entry the name is not a real person.

One thing you will notice in advertising these days is that many companies look at the available talent in the market to cast in commercial productions. But the real question is, do you really need to pay high costing ads to make sure that they get the right mix in producing these ads?
There are various ways to get through commercial advertising and this can be done through creative wizardry. You just have to think outside the box, use resources like technology and representation in other forms such as this one which makes use of balloon dolls that can capture the whole essence of the product being advertised.

We all know how it is to make the unique concepts in the world today and apparently, putting a touch of drama into the commercial advertising flicks we see today is something that will capture the attention of most consumers to date.
Products often have to create catchy storylines for them to get noticed. It all has to be in line with what the product has to offer and once compiled, you will find that your creative commercial can be a hit advertising medium especially if placed and targeted towards the proper audience it should be effectively exposed to.
