As users of an ever-changing internet, it’s amazing to see large project come together by someone that we’ve been following for years.

Easily manipulated to create the look of lettering, but tight enough to use as ready-to-go typography, Highway fills the gap of versatility that many will find just perfect for their next project.

Nike is extending the “Now Is My Time” campaign with “Nike Barbershop”, an integrated advertising campaign featuring Italian footballer Mario Balotelli receiving a hair cut in a traditional Barbershop accompanied by French player Mamadou Sakho and Argentine star Javier Pastore. Asked by the Barber what he’d like Balotelli simply replies “to be remembered.” A series of styles rapidly take shape on the sharp shooters head but nothing works until an artistically crafted Mohawk gets the nod from Balotelli.

Package Design

http://www.thedieline.com/ "The challenge of this project is to create a new luxury make up collection for an chosen cosmetic brand, which is L’Occitane En Provence.

Retail Leverage

Image courtesy of Engadget I don’t care whether you are a retailer or a brand marketer, I just know that at some point on Friday November 19, 2010 you wished you had the same idea that some genius(es) at TJ Maxx did. Imagine you’re sitting in a conference room in the bowels of your corporate office back in June 2010, trying to figure out what your Black Friday strategy and offers are going to be. At a retailer like TJ Maxx, in the past that could have included the sweet deal on a pair of PJ’s or a cashmere glove / scarf set.

Yes, the computer could beat brainy champion Ken Jennings at his own game, but to many this just seemed like another example of computers being smarter than humans ­– a familiar concept to anyone who uses a calculator. Yet, through the buzz surrounding the show and the advertising that followed it, Watson became a brand. And IBM is using that brand to extend their impressive technology to other areas.
