Technology catches up with wizardy. Proof that if you can think it, it can be.

Finding Stuff--Laura Coalwell

I'm always inspired by ads that have really powerful copy in voice overs. Sometimes that can be cheesy, but I like this one a lot.

I thought this video was fitting since Veteran's Day was last week.

Go Army.

This is where Buzz Lightyear keeps his soft drinks cold- kristen

It's not a space ship, kids. It's a refrigerator. Why do we make things the way we do? Why are happy with the boring way things look, just because they've been that way since before we can remember? These people decided to take something ordinary and make it awesome.

sadly my last finding stuff for this blog- Elise Meservy

Too bad my elementary school music teacher wasn't so inspiring and since then I never had the desire to be in an sort of choir. If only I had this school's choir teacher. Now that's creativity, enthusiasm, and a brilliant/passionate teacher.

Enjoy only the best elementary school choir ever.

ps check out that kid drummer. legit.




and this is because I found yet another kindle ad which stole my heart. love it and I think it might have changed my negative opinion about kindles. hope it inspires you for your ikea campaigns.

This is a cool approach to a guerrilla advertisement. I like it a lot. It is very simple and very good. If you can't tell it is for PASTA.

I think this is a really interesting Print Ad. It just works for me in every way.

I'm all about creative canvases.
This UK artist, Nick Gentry, paints portraits on old, recycled floppy disks.
I love how he has incorporated some of the features on the disks into the actual paintings, such as the silver circles as eyes.
Enjoy!

Try this lady's thoughts on for change:
-stories are just statistics with a soul
-connections breathe meaning into life
-shame is the fear of disconnection
-in order for real connections, we have to be seen for who we really are (be vulnerable)
-those who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they are worthy of love and belonging. That's the only thing that separates them from the shameful.

And thus she continues.

But what does this have to do with creativity? Do you have a strong sense of creative ability? If not, what do you think separates you from those who do? What other implications does this woman's lecture have on creativity? On life?

This is why I do advertising. This is the kind of stuff that keeps my blood running and my feet moving even when I'm running on little to no sleep.

A product's packaging is advertising. I probably would buy these products just because their packaging bought me. Check them out!
