Morning Quickie
Friday, March 7, 2014
Who doesn’t like a morning quickie? And some double entendre? I love this quirky spot for Dempster’s, directed by Untitled Films‘ Aleysa Young via Toronto agency Cundari.
Make sure you look in the background for all the suggestive props. Nicely done guys.
Great Canadian Logos
Thursday, March 6, 2014
There are a lot of great logos and designs in Canada. To celebrate that, Ottawa-based design firm Northern Army has created a website dedicated to archiving these great designs. Their new website, Northern Army Preservation Society of Canada, is a compendium of some of the best Canadian logos ever designed.
Currently the site has 186 logos and counting. It would be great if the site offered a search feature – can you guys add that? Side note, I’d like to mention how much I miss the old Windsor Salt box design. That was some great design. They should bring it back as the current one pales in comparison.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014
Softsoap has launched a Flu Tracker – a new online resource to help consumers stay healthy this flu season.
The interactive website enables Canadians to stay one step ahead of the bug by monitoring flu mentions across the country, right down to their own neighbourhoods. Designed as a one-stop online resource centre for combatting infectious disease, Flu Tracker uses flu facts, Twitter metadata and Google maps, to provide Canadians with information that will help them stay healthy this winter.
The Echo Project
Thursday, February 27, 2014
Are you ever sad when you finish a book because it’s over and you want more?
The Echo Project, created and conceived by Dare Toronto for Penguin Canada, is a page-for-page digital interpretative experience of Khaled Hosseini’s best-selling novel, And the Mountains Echoed.
This ambitious creative undertaking is a digital exploration of each of the 402 pages of the novel, which Dare began working on last year. The project will be unveiled in its near entirety and promoted within the paperback set for sale in June of this year.
Watch a case study of the project above.
Midnight
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Coldplay released a new video today for Midnight, which hints at a new album in the works – the band has not released an album since 2011.
The video, shot on a thermal camera, is directed by Arts & Sciences‘ Mary Wigmore, edited by Kim Bica at Arcade Edit, and features visual effects by Timber. Nice work guys & gals.
Pretty Bird
Tuesday, February 25, 2014
Leila Jeffreys has been fascinated by birds since her childhood in Australia. She takes pictures of budgerigars, different breeds of cockatoos and raptors. I love how many of these shots suggest such strong personalities. Beautiful.

Monochrome Breakfast Series
Monday, February 24, 2014
This is just making me hungry. Those who read glossy often, know that I like projects that play with food.
German graphic designer Fabienne Plangger has collaborated with David Reiner, Sebastian Hierner and Karin Stöckl to create this monochromatic series of breakfast foods. Yummy except for the coloured breads. Those just look gross.
The Hoffman Brothers Join Community Films
Friday, February 21, 2014
The Hoffman Brothers have joined Community Films for US representation.
The Hoffman Brothers’ collaborative approach to crafting commercial films involves a keen eye for visual storytelling and a blend of subtle – and sometimes not so subtle – comedy and dialogue performance, which they consistently deploy in their work with unabashed youthful panache. The pair’s portfolio includes work on a number of memorable, award-winning campaigns for brands including, Southwest Airlines, Capital One, eBay, Chrysler and Stride Gum. The work they’re most recognized for, however, is the “Today Was A Good Day” campaign for Nike Skateboarding, starring Paul Rodriguez Jr., Kobe Bryant and Ice Cube. A cult classic amongst skaters, it has been hailed as one of the most successful viral campaigns Nike has ever produced and garnered the brothers a Gold Clio.
The Hoffman Brothers, Matt on left and Mark on right, are pictured above with Kobe Bryant.
