JAMES JARVIS x NIKE

Illustrator James Jarvis recently collaborated with Nike on this wonderful short film titled "Onwards". The film features a Martin-esque character jogging through a surreal, psychedelic landscape inspired by Jarvis' own experiences in long distance running. Set to a wicked track by Caribou, the short is directed by James Jarvis and Shynola's Richard Kenworthy. Check it.

CHRIS CUNNINGHAM FOR GUCCI

Star director Chris Cunningham has made his anticipated comeback with this gorgeous spot for Gucci's Flora fragrance. Featuring Abbey Lee Kershaw and Cunningham's own take on Donna Summer's "I Feel Love", the advert expands on Inez Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin's original print campaign and is a curious departure from his previous, more darker work. Check it.

SPRINT NOW NETWORK: ANTHEM

Here's some fantastic use of data visualization in advertising. Slickly but not overly produced; the whole infographic movement has been around for quite some time now and yet this ad still manages to be refreshing and never gimmicky. Props to Superfad and Goodby, Silverstein and Partners for pulling this off. Check it.

MISS DIOR CHERIE


The web presence for Miss Dior Cherie has finally launched and it comes in the form of an interactive pop-up book. The visuals here are fantastic and it captures Ms. Coppola's charming vision quite nicely, though Brigitte Bardot's "Moi Je Joue" can get a little tiring after the first thirty seconds... I recommend browsing this one with the sound turned off.

HONDA'S SHINING LIGHT

SAGMEISTER FOR LEVIS 501



After working with art-world luminaries Damien Hirst and Shepard Fairey, Levis turned to star graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister for their latest art-based collaboration. The result is this quirky window installation that debuted at L.A. retailer American Rag. Being a Sagmeister fan myself, it's great to see his unique brand of typography being put to good use here. Cheers to the Levis team for bringing us another tasteful collaboration.

IKEA PS

IKEA's latest interactive ad campaign takes us on an ethereal journey to IKEA PS, a world composed enitrely of IKEA products (and one likely to fall apart after a year of living in it). I was a huge fan of last year's brilliant IKEA Catalogue 2.0 so count me a little disappointed that they didn't up the ante with this one; that being said IKEA PS is still a great looking site, so if you do have a few moments to kill it's well worth a visit.



IKEA PS is a collaborative project between Nordpol, Parasol Island and KOKO KAKA.

JIMMY CHOO S/S 09'


No one today photographs sex in fashion better than Terry Richardson (actually that probably isn't true but I'll run with it for now) and it shows in Jimmy Choo's S/S 09' ad campaign. Say what you will about my tastes, but I make no excuses for my fixation with this gorgeous shot of Angela Lindvall's uhhh... shoes.

THE ADI LOOKBOOK


Adidas recently launched the Adi Lookbook, a promotional mini-site showcasing products from the Adidas Originals women's line. The site features some fantastic use of stop-motion (also put to great use in last year's Adi Dassler spot) with fashion photography and top notch art direction by Rodrigo Braga of Montreal's Sid Lee. Oh yeah, and while you're at it, be sure to check out the lookbook for Jeremy Scott's latest Originals collaboration... what can I say? Adidas killed it yet again.

EXTREMELY REALISTIC SOUND

Here's a clever new ad from the German electronics manufacturer Leowe. These days, it's nice to see an advert that doesn't (fully) rely on post-production to get its message across, but lets its concept do the talking. Check it.

THE QUEST FOR G


Garnett, Kareem, Jordan, Jeter and The Jabbawockeez spoofing Monty Python's Quest for The Holy Grail; how dope is that? I ignored this at first thinking it was a continuation of Lil' Wayne's "What's G" campaign (I thought those were annoying as hell, mostly due to Wayne's ridiculous voice) but damn was I mistaken.

This thing is loaded with cameos: Garnett the Glorious (Kevin Garnett), Jeter the Gifted (Derek Jeter), Jimmie the other Gifted (Jimmie Johnson), Sir Bolt the Gutsy (Usain Bolt), Sir Bolt's pet “Ego”, Misty & Keri the 3 legged and 2 headed knight (Misty May & Keri Walsh), Alicia the girl that made horse trotting noises (Alicia Sacramone)... Also, bonus points goes to anyone who can spot Michael Jordan's brief appearance.

You've got to give credit to TBWA and Buck for not fucking this thing up (which could have easily happened), instead they've managed to capture the tone and charm of the original perfectly. Check it.

FUTURE TRENDS IN MARKETING

The Leo Burnett group recently posted their predictions for marketing trends in the new year. I'd say they're pretty much spot on (but what do I know right?). Then again, it's almost impossible not to be considering how much of a no brainer this shit is given our current circumstances. On a side note, there's some nice use of type and motion graphics here though I could have done without Ben's talking head.

BJORN BORG HELPS YOU BREAK UP


A new and amusing online campaign by Swedish underwear brand Björn Borg. The concept is all about breaking up in the name of love and then starting the hunt for a new partner. Bjorn Borg knows how hard it is to finish a relationship, so he starts by offering us a service to help us sendind the SMS message which will change our lives. But first of all, you have to take the test to understand whether you should break up or not with your partner. If the result is positive, you will immediately find a mobile phone (and some inspirational words) to dump your partner. Once you've sent the break-up sms to your current partner, make sure to continue the online experience clicking on "Find your next love here". The best as yet to come!

An outrageous concept by any means but you've got to hand it to the boys over at Farfar, they pulled this campaign off with undeniable wit and humor couple with some great design. You just can't help but smile, even when it's at the thought of dumping your partner.
