  • Canada Shared

    November 27th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Back in September, we posted about the Canadian Tourism Commission, DDB and Douglas Coupland calling on Canadians to document the best Canada has to offer.

    After receiving over 65 hours of footage and 7,000 photographs, CTC and DDB created the following film featuring some of our beautiful landsapes, hearty food, dogs, bears and more.

    Well done, Canada.

  • The Biblio-Mat

    November 19th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    At Queen and Dovercourt, beside a laundromat is Monkey's Paw — a small, infinitely-charming, independent bookstore specializing in rare and unusual books.

    Looking for a book on DIY tent-making? How about witchcraft or kite-making? Chances are they have what you need.

    The Biblio-Mat was built by Craig Small for Monkey's Paw. Craig describes the machine;

    "The machine was conceived as an artful alternative to the ubiquitous and often ignored discount sidewalk bin. When a customer puts coins into it, the Biblio-Mat dramatically whirrs and vibrates as the machine is set in motion. The ring of an old telephone bell enhances the thrill when the customer’s mystery book is delivered with a satisfying clunk into the receptacle below."

    Opened as part of Yorkdale's multi-million dollar expansion, Microsoft opened their doors for business over this past weekend.

    The store looks eerily similar to the Apple store complete with its own genius bar providing tech support to customers.

  • Huffington Post Co-Founder Launches App to Get Millenials to Read

    November 12th, 2012 / Comments (0)

    Huffington Post Co-Founder and former CEO Eric Hippeau have teamed up to create NowThisNews. The app congregates original and third party videos along with hard-hitting news, all with intros by NowThisNews hosts (like VJs). Content is pushed out via social media (you know, where Millenials spend all their time online).

    Content categories include Top Stories, Awesome Debates, Tech and Fun. The condescending app is premised on the fact that Millenials don't actually like to read hard news online.

    See below for a totally awesome video from NowThisNews.

    The clever folks over at Sharp Suits designed a series of R3 sized posters illustrating some of the more asinine feedback they have received from clients.

    If you're a Graphic Designer (or creative, for that matter) should probably check them out because if you've been in any client meetings this week, you could probably use a laugh.

    See the full series right here.
