This is awesome! The super talented Kelli Anderson designed the infographics for a bright orange popsicle solar powered truck distributing free popsicles in New York City. The job lead by Jason Anello cleverly educates and advertises about solar power for the company Sungevity. Rad.
This is such a brilliant ad concept for the Artis Royal Zoo in Amsterdam designed by Dawn. Anyone can pull off the stickers from their signs and place them throughout the city to promote the zoo. Very cool! This video clip shares how it is done.
These fantastic video clips for the EF Live the Language campaign have been making the blog rounds, I absolutely adore them! The typography, cinematography, message is perfection! Have you seen them yet? It makes me want to get away to Paris right away! See more clips for other countries here. More advertisers should take their lead don't you think?
Wishing you a great and relaxing weekend! Here are some things around the web that made me happy this week....
1: Peggy scanned in some more beautiful photos from the Banana Republic Ads, they are so... gorgeous!
2: Merrilee from Mer Meg has it going on -- you've got to see this post of the valentine's she and her little ones did. She also has a free download.
3: Have you heard of the Google Art Project? For you all of you art lovers, it is a virtual tour into some of the best museums where you can see famous and beautiful works for art. You can pretend you are walking around, you can zoom in pretty tight to see detail, it is so amazing!
Impeccably cute styling behind the French line Collegien selling these fun slipper socks. Adorable! I totally want a pair, anyone have one -- how are they?
Going through some files on my computer I came across some old Banana Republic ads I had scanned and saved. They still seem rather beautiful and timeless.
Whew, my apologies for not tuning in yesterday, but I have a few great video clips I saw this past week that I wanted to share with you to take you through the weekend.
Have you seen the beautiful Hermes ads around this season, I was flipping through a magazine and came across the horse one above -- gorgeous! What about the super clever ad they done with some fingerboard action? Not sure how many skateboarders wear Hermes, but wow ... it is pretty impressive. Thoughts? I also like this Hermes ad.
Continuing on the fashion note, this second clip makes me want to hop on a plane right away and head to NYC, it is a film series by the amazing photographer Gabriel Mendes and Ani Tzenkova (for Safari Sundays +Trendland) who captured street style in New York City during fashion week. I love how motion captures a mood and feel of a city, even more than photography. Don't you want to see more clips like this of cities all around the world? What city would you want to see most? See more Talk a Walk style clips from here -- ( I really like this one) they are so fun to watch.
This creative PSA and installation in Paris has to be one of the most ingenious ways to get a message across I've seen in quite a while. I was surprised to see the final answer -- were you? What a difficult world problem to conquer.

I loved this commercial for the Olympics and AT&T, the music matches perfectly. Have you ever seen Snowboard jumping it person? It is really, really amazing -- we were able to watch some jumps at the 2002 SLC Olympics and were blown away. Aren't you sad the Olympics are over? Good news though -- spring skiing and boarding are still ahead, my favorite time to hit the slopes, but after some fresh snow of course.
I can't get over how adorable this Belgium Maan line is. Aren't these well styled get-ups incredibly cute? I'd wear them too. There seems to be a lot more girl selections, but I threw in a fun little boys outfit on the lower right.
Do you find your headphones always getting in a twist -- here's a new way of looking at the knot possibilities. Check out this clever ad for Ford by Ogilvy in Düsseldorf, Germany from Ads of the World.
The creativity behind these Koleston Hair Color ads are terrific. They are produced by the Advertising Agency Leo Burnett out of Germany spotted over at I Believe in Advertising.
Flipping through an old German magazine I came across this cool ad. It reminded me a lot of this other post. Creativity with clothes in an inventive way.
I ended up taking the day off from blogging yesterday to spend time with our little birthday girl, (photos later) and now it is snowing like crazy outside and I can hardly believe it! Three years ago while having our little V in the hospital, it snowed like this too. Here is a fun ad for Volkswagen reminding me of sunnier days -- because I am not quite ready for blizzards yet.
