Great presentation about Art Direction by Dave Bell the CD of MercerBell in Sydney.
Lots of good advice, inspiration and ideas!
Cred ca deja ati auzit de Belva. Multe dintre voi le cititi zilnic, daca nu o facei, ar trebui!
Today, I appeared in Adland's "Ad Chat" series.
Here is a small part of it:
If you could meet with anyone in history (dead or alive), who would it be and why?
Mikhail Baryshnikov. I would love to spend some time talking with him about emotions, dance, art, humanity, happiness. “Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.”

Ogilvy & Mather New York and Joshua Liner Gallery unveil a series of commissioned murals by celebrated artist Stephen Powers that reinterpret the words and quotes of agency founder David Ogilvy.
Power’s bold graphic style, reminiscent of vintage advertising illustrations puts a unique emphasis on famous Ogilvy sayings and transforms them into actionable words designed to inspire the viewer. Painted in bright colors on the North stairwell of the agency’s headquarters office, the murals run from the first to the 11th floor of the office building.
The murals are being unveiled to coincide with the 100th birthday of David Ogilvy, one of the most influential and important figures in modern advertising. Awesome!
Ieri la Blog Olympics am invatat/predat o lectie de naming foarte utila!
Cum spune vorba latina "Nomen est omen", adica numele este un semn prevestitor, a castigat echipa cu numele "Echipa Castigatoare", a carui mandru membru am fost :)
Echipa de pe ultimul loc a purtat numele predestinat "Echipa fara nume". Bine, toata lumea a castigat cate ceva, dar ramane lectia.
Aveti grija, in general, cum va alegeti numele! Conteaza!
Particip la Blog Olympics! In "Echipa Castigatoare" a lui Alex. Nu puteam fi decat intr-o echipa castigatoare.
Ramane sa o mai demonstram si in teren.
