Art with light
We love light-painting and this set of work is really cool. France-based photographer Fabrice Wittner has created an illuminating project (see what I did there) titled “Enlightened Souls” that consists of ghostly portraits created by light-painting with stencils (which are themselves created from actual portraits). Wittner first started the project in May 2011 after the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.
He says "I first thought of it as an artistic and morale contribution to the 6.3 quake’s aftermath. I used stencils to paint enlightened characters to remember human losses and to show the spirit of a wounded city. It turned out to be an interesting way to share ideas and feelings about society and life. After all, this is what street art is made for."
After completing the Christchurch series he started creating portraits of Vietnam's village children in Hanoi.

Brandvertising - the modern world's biggest identities go head-to-head
Here's a really fascinating graphics project by Romanian designer Stefan Asafti who has taken some of the world's most competitive brands identities and looked at their visual influences on each other.
Stefan says "It is surprising how logos can influence other logos. The truth is that each pair of rivals has something in common, that something which has helped them to build one identity upon the other, this way becoming the biggest brands."
A really interesting concept and the overall result are some stunning pieces of design.
Top job Stefan!

Halo gets gold
Halo's integrated (and may we say very cool) advertising campaign for Essex County Council - 'Drive Essex' - has won Gold at the CIPR awards in the Integrated Campaign Category (*ahem*).
This campaign uses a really interesting mix of traditional and ambient media and features a special build billboard, an anamorphic installation and a viral game.
Check out the case study below...

Kinect Contortionists
Microsoft has launched a print campaign for the Kinect, their 3D motion capture device designed to work with the Xbox 360 video game console. The images depict people fitting into the shape of a traditional Xbox 360 controller, illustrating the Kinect slogan, “You are the controller.” Love it.

Should have seen it coming
Specsavers in New Zealand ran an advertising campaign promoting Specsavers Frankton, Remarkables Centre, Frankton, on the back of what appears to be an Intercity bus. Parked at Frankton Airport, near Queenstown, the bus appears to have backed into a bus stop sign. The line - "Should have gone to Specsavers Frankton". So simple. Killer.

It's a riot
I found this press ad from Spain for the Ford Connect from way back in 2008. 'Riot' was developed by Bassat Ogilvy in Madrid. It's really cool, and given the recent events in London and around the UK, could be worth a re-run. Love it.
