Youth Marketing Trends for 2009

A very thorough presentation. My favorite slide is 28 in Part 1: "the next time you hear the words, "it's all about fun, cool and personalization", pull the trigger".

Designed Impact: Tricky Vision

Very cool. Hopefully not photoshopped, but there are quite a few others at the link that look a little too good. (Via ffffound)


This trickery is much more appreciated. (Via ffffound)

Nike Blazer NIKEid: Customization

Very cool site for the Nike Blazer on NIKEiD. It is great how they were able to avoid the color palette way of customizing products online - when there are 6 boxes of different colors to choose from. Instead each click on a part of the shoe changes the color as well as the color of the background. The hidden easter egg is each click also changes an element of the background music. Nice way of showing that a customized shoe can mean more than just how the shoe looks. (Via ADVERBLOG)

PeopleTags Launched

PeopleTags is up and running. It all started with the knowledge that despite all our award shows where we give love to one another, everyday people just don't like advertisers. Hopefully we can change some perceptions of advertisers as well as other professions and groups. Maybe even some perceptions of much larger and more important groups. But who knows, the internet is a fickle beast.

Much credit goes to my partner in the project Howard Nager who essentially built the whole thing. Someday I'll learn how to build things myself - hopefully.

Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks.
