The Red Ball Project

UICA interview with Kurt Perschke from Kurt Perschke on Vimeo.



Not sure why I haven't heard about this until now. What a strange and yet simple idea. I love how people begin to play with the ball.

Fall 2012

Currently I'm gathering content from blogs, magazines, and retail spaces to see what the trends will be for Fall 2012 and who current trends are cycling out.

My review will include color, pattern, typography and other design trends. My interest is how these trends will be applied to retail spaces.

Will advertising and design take a nod to these trends and use them to define the seasonal calendar?

Wish me luck.

So cute! I love this. She sounds so smart! Very well done my lady.

The Craft before CGI

CGChannel uncovered this fantastic '80s vintage documentary that details the three-month process behind HBO's iconic pre-movie intro. Grit your teeth past the corny "Illusion!" song. It's worth it to see how special FX were made "with computers" before CG.

Ultrabook: Sweet Alt Media Work

It's part product demonstration, part flash mob, part social content—but it's all about getting the brand out there.


Thank you Maggie and Scott for sharing.

Red Robin | Banzai Love You

The Periscope Digital peeps are hard at work making lots of cool stuff. This campaign caught my eye and is gaining major social media tread.

Red Robin Banzai Campaign

The contest is for those who discover the link either on Facebook, Twitter or a QRCode on the bottom of an in-store table topper. Guest what channel is kicking ass with hits. The QRCode!!! What! Its on the bottom of the table topper. NOTE: Periscope didn't have control over where another agency placed this icon. And some say QRCodes don't work. (Using the right tactics for the right audience. A one size fits all solution is NEVER the answer.)

Red Robin Fans are amazing!

Love this campaign as much as I love burgers and fries. Nice work comrades.

What is not to love about this blog. Living in Minnesota it is hard to really see fashion with everyone either bundled up or super casual, me included.

I need to step up my self expression through what I wear. I really put no more that 30 sec each morning to figure it out.

It is hard with baby to really think about it when I'm getting him ready and getting out the door on time.
But the excuses really need to stop.

What is my style? I don't think I really have one.

I really loved following this lady as she mixed vintage with modern clothing. What I'm Wearing... this we an interesting experiment. I wonder if she will do it again.

Happy Valentine's Day

A few goodies this Valentine's Day. 

Strange how many photographers send Valentine's Day promotions. Oddly this one I like more for the photoshop editing skills than the actual content.

For years, Little&Co. has put out a one of a kind Valentine's Day Greeting. There have been a range of really wonderfully written and designed Valentines, but this has to be my favorite.
Write your loved one a little love song!

But I still really love last years too.


Mashable posted Top 10 Valentine's Day Cards for the techie in your life.
This one was my favorite.

I wish you a very happy St. Valentine's Day. My you shower your loved one with kisses and share with them how much you love them.

Love You,
Michelle
