3.2.1.... jump!
An interesting idea for Swiss Skydive, the biggest skydiving school in Switzerland. The idea is that these graphics were fitted to the floors of elevators in multi-storey buildings giving passengers the impression that they are in freefall. Nice bit of ambient media. Credit to coloribus.com
A collection of Lego adverts →
A great collection of adverts promoting everyones favorite toy as a child, Lego. This magical stuff has been around for so long now that its name is synonymous. This collection includes examples which target all markets both old and young. Lego should be a part of every childs life.

– Via PC World: New IE8 release stresses security (via nicksnell) Its a case of seeing is believing with IE!
Striking packaging
This caught our eye this morning. A new French smoothie brand doo (derived from the french word doux which means sweet in English) which is very simple in its approach but the bold coloured sides really bring this design to life. These are sure to stand out from the crowd.

The magics in the milky way
To advertise a well known chocolate bar in America, agency BBDO have created a lovely piece of ambient media to advertise its stretchy caramel. The idea is that as you pull the seatbelt out, you reveal the caramel as the seatbelt. Such a lovely idea. Credit to http://www.coloribus.com/
Happy days

Pimp my mac
$1500? this is cool but lets not mess with what already works. This is just a pure gimmick and looks cool dont get me wrong but it all seems a bit much. Its a talking point i guess but really nothing more than just a gimmick. Credit to http://www.engadget.com
Interesting picture
An interesting look at the tallest building in the world. It gives a much better impression of its size and relative dimensions compared to the surrounding area than a regular picture from the ground.

New look
DIY giants B&Q have had a facelift. Very clean and crisp. Navigation is constructed better and you can now search for items for next day delivery as well as general products. Good job, it looks neat and tidy. diy.com/
The all new Ipod
Yet again Apple are proving their dominance in design and technology with the arrival of their new Ipod. This tiny little shuffle is half the size of its predecessor and can hold up to 4GB worth of data amounting to 1000 tracks. But the real magic here is that the controls are mounted on the cables for the earpieces, and had has new technology labelled Voiceover which allows the user to control...
inspiring
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!...
