Axe Effect: Laser

A really cool viral video to promote Axe Laser. I don't know if those lights are real but i really really want one!

Burger King: Whopper Freakout

Campaign for Burger King which has done well for itself at the Cannes Cyber Lions awards. Interesting concept where they pretend the Whopper has been discontinued and then film the customers reactions. Personally I don't know whether after watching this I feel that the Whopper is 'America's favorite burger' or just that too many people eat too much fast food! Whatever your opinion more details can be found here, right, im off out for a burger now.

The Girl Effect

Great new website by W&K and Grow Interactive. Little research has been done to understand how investments in girls impact economic growth and the health and well-being of communities. This lack of data reveals how pervasively girls have been overlooked. For millions of girls across the developing world, there are no systems to record their birth, their citizenship, or even their identity. However, the existing research suggests their impact can reach much farther than expected. This website highlights these issues and points a way forward.

Dubai plans 'moving' skyscraper

A colleague found this on the BBC News Website. An interesting idea to create the worlds first 'moving building'. The Dynamic Tower design is made up of 80 pre-fabricated apartments which will spin independently of one another. The 420-metre (1,378-foot) building's apartments would spin a full 360 degrees, at voice command, around a central column by means of 79 giant power-generating wind turbines located between each floor. The apartments, which will take between one and three hours to make a complete rotation, will cost from $3.7m to $36m. Click here to read the full article and watch the BBC News Video

Mentos: Kiss Fight

The best flash game I have come across this year along with the Coke Zero game (both created by North Kingdom incidentally). Not only is Kiss Fight beautifully executed but also hugely entertaining and very addictive until you complete it. Click here to play!

Desktopography 2008

Finally, the new Desktopography exhibition is out, and its (as everyone expected) beautiful! 38 new wallpapers from some of the worlds most talented digital artists with the theme of nature present throughout, a little piece of design heaven (and with more than enough to change your desktop every couple of weeks!)

iPhone 3G

Now even more lovely, more sexy and with more people wanting one. The new iPhone is coming on July the 11th and I want one! On a side note I am also very interested to see how the iPhone apps store works when it is up and running and established.

Pantone Badges

I love this Pantone badge idea, very cool. I found it when browsing though Fubiz and now want some for myself! Not because chicks would dig them or anything..... but I bet they would..... well thats what I'm telling myself anyway!

McDonald’s: The Lost Ring

Lovely new advert by AKQA San Francisco for McDonalds. Found on the motiongraphics blog

Living in the Clouds

It has been a while since my last post, this is more due to the fact I have been mega busy as apposed to anything else but here is the next installment. Another architecture post (would you believe it, two in a row!) Stumbled across a post on the cool hunter about fantastic high-rise apartments. Some of the most beautiful living spaces I have seen across some of the most iconic cities around the world. Enjoy, I know I certainly did!
