Cannes Lions gets a new section for design

One of the most (still) respected european advertising festivals gets a new section: design. Packaging Design, Brand Identity and also Environmental Design to be more precise.

Wonder if they’ll find a way to subscribe some ghosts for this section as well :)) Nothing’s impossible, right? Nevertheless, it’s still a good thing that design gets a little more attention and maybe it’ll become a little bit more popular (compared to the “coolness” of advertising – everybody wants to make comercials, few want to design brand guidelines). And *just* maybe design will become a bit better known in Romania as well. It’s frustrating to say you’re a designer and have to explain that no, you’re not a fashion designer but something more serious and useful.

(thanks the creative cheaters)

Happy birthday Fredo & Pid’jin

Fredo and Pid’jin are now 2 years old :) Happy Birthday! And yeah, you bet I’m on for the contest too :P

Dieselwall.com

Nice contest from Diesel.

This one really got my eye (it’s a wall in Milan). The characters are Blue and Joy. The wall dialogues read “Maybe one day we’ll be on that wall” and “Impossible” (though I think it would’ve been more logical for Blue to say “impossible” :) ).

You can see more of the characters here (it’s interesting how they always remain the same but through nice copy they are given life).
