MURAL IDEA;
Love this - Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.
VINTAGE VEHICLE IDEA;
A Ford Falcon. Brooklyn.
PROTEST IDEA:
Someone getting peeved in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
PROTEST IDEA:
The bike racks are popping up all over the neighborhood. I think this protester has a point.
The racks near mine run alongside a crapy parking lot and a Main Street. These racks are alongside a leafy brownstone street…
52 OFFICES IDEA: PART 6
Today is the first day in weeks where I don’t have a brutal creative deadline to meet. Been a great few weeks, lots of high octane creative collaboration with people from all walks of life.
It’s one of the aspects of being a creative gun for hire, you get to meet people from many different areas, not just marketing but fashion, design, teaching, film production, app developers, parents and this week, a fish monger who styles himself “Fishman”.
All of these people have been full of energy and ideas, keen to collaborate, share, discuss. If we (as an industry) can encourage more people from different walks of life to contribute to marketing and advertising, it will be all the richer for it.
After all, anyone can have a great idea.
So, today’s office is my sofa and the iPad. Plenty of dull admin and finance stuff to take care of. I’m trying to resist the siren call of the Iain M Banks book I’m almost finished….Must. Be. Disciplined.
UNFORTUNATE POSTER IDEA:
Saw this on the subway today. Coincidence but a dark one. I posted a while back about the exact same thing post “dark knight” shootings. The print posters had “audiences will be blown away” emblazoned in large letters across the top.
Odd.
STREET ART IDEA:
Painted beat by “Cheese”. SoHo, Manhattan.
CHALK ART IDEA;
A cheering sight on Manhattan Bridge today.
SCULPTURE IDEA:
A striking metal sculpture fixed to a street sign in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
An old fella comes up to me as I take this pic and asks if I knew who put it there.
Sorry, no. Probably a kid for Prat?
“It looks so beautiful when the setting son shines off it…”
Nice to see the older generation appreciating street art this way.
CUSTOMIZATION IDEA;
Window of Kid Robot, SoHo. Promoting the new “chalkable” Dunnys.
MUSIC IDEA:
Youth-focused drinks brands are keen to “own” music as a communications platform. Red Bull being no exception.
I have to admire RB’s approach of, “Go big or go home.”
SoHo, Manhattan.
SCULPTURE IDEA:
Poodle made from bike chains. Horrible but oddly compelling.
Spotted in the window of a SoHo art gallery.
PROMO IDEA:
Promotional message on the b-side.
PROMO IDEA:
Little butterflies all over Manhattan Bridge. Affixed by a magnet.
INSPIRATIONAL IDEA:
Exactly! Brooklyn school.
