So I came across a slick little site that allows you to make a playlist, select your cassette design, customize the title, and post the cassette mixtape into your website, blog. I didn’t get too involved into this first one, but I’m smelling future series of these. Let’s see how she plays, starts off and ends with some rockers, but the middle is all over, seven songs 28 minutes. Make your own here.
Making big things little, or making little things big, just keep messin’ with their heads! Cute new ad campaign with tiny billboards set next to sidewalks advertising a new PS3 video game. Works on multiple levels. Classic.
Showtime hit a home run with their latest campaign for the serial killer drama Dexter. My favorite has to be the New Yorker.
Anybody remember this one from this past spring, it was making the blogrounds in March.
Well some higher up at Ogilvy took notice and now the artist Joshua Allen Harris has been recruited to work on an environmental defense fund ad featuring our favorite plastic bag polar bears. Check out the new ad here.
This from the Wall Street Journal:
Edwina Rogers, the wife of Washington lobbyist Ed Rogers, is a master of the form and has developed her own signature specialty. She wraps her thank-yous in sheets of real dollar bills, purchased from the Bureau of Engraving.
She unfurls a roll of dollar bills and starts slicing them up to make the appropriate wrapping sheets. No matter that she slices several dollar bills in half–it is all about lining up the George Washingtons on the front.
“The effect is fabulous, especially for foreigners,” she says. “They love it.”
note that Ed Rodgers is a lobbyist (Vice Chairman of Barbour Griffith & Rogers, who has strong Republican ties), and was a one time assistant deputy to none other than George W. Bush. Edwina herself is former associate director of the White House’s National Economic Council. Makes perfect fiscal sense to me. Check out the video. Grosses me out, but hey maybe you’re into that kind of thing.

I don’t usually get too caught up in the whole designer toy thing, but these are great!
