UPS ads go high-tech with Whiteboard 2.0
Posted in: UncategorizedHere’s the new UPS Whiteboard spot starring Martin Agency creative director Andy Azula. As you’ll notice, they’ve broken form a bit by adding animation and an iPhone-like interface with the whiteboard. I don’t mind the effect, but it does kinda do away with the charming simplicity of looking at, you know, a whiteboard. By the way, has all this work in front of the camera shed some pounds off Azula, or is he just buying baggier clothes? And why won’t he address the serious issues, like monkey sex or female fecal bonding?

Taj Tea – Divine tea – print, India
Posted in: Uncategorized
Holy stunning photography batman!
The Taj Tea Trail is a tea-tasting event organised by Brooke Bond Taj Mahal tea. Here people get to sample the finest collection of teas and discover fascinating trivia about the drink. These posters, via O&M Mumbai, were created as masterpieces using actual Taj Mahal tea granules. Displayed on easels like work of art, these posters helped glorify this golden drink.
I don’t even drink tea anymore, but these ads are mighty tempting if only to watch the swirls of golden tea escape in the hot water… Mmmm.

Rapping in support of better Internet design
Posted in: UncategorizedWhen we hear the phrase "How Web standards and proper design can affect the ranking and conversion of pages on your site," we always think of another phrase, "funky fresh beat." This is because we are woefully out of touch with modern hip-hop. The Poetic Prophet (aka The SEO Rapper) isn’t much better. While his newest jam is educational, creationists drop better science. But I’ll give him credit for dodging the normally racist YouTube comment hate, since they “bow and recognize … the best video on the Internet. Period.†I bet they like this guy, too. Via The Denver Egotist.
