Quote of the Day

wk12



Slightly more edgy, an experiment in brand experiences, advertising and everything else
not covered by the more grandiose W+K agency work. Best summed up in one word "experiment" http://www.wk12.com

Experience Re-Design

Who doesn't love the work coming out of famed Portland-agency Weiden + Kennedy? I have to say though their site while flashy was always a pain in the ass to navigate. Today I find out they have a new offering and its really well done and simplified.

Very Cool Magazine

Striking photography. Bold cover and internal page design. Not about reviews

Good Quote

"For me, the mix of what we deal with as designers -- the mix of words, images and messages -- this is what I was meant to do. I like the fact that design is audience-related. I like the fact that it's not "art" and that you're typically collaborating with other people."
--Stefan Sagmeister

Brand Stories

Here we have a brand (Lexus) using the concept of design and sustainability to message their hybrid line of products (Power of H) by telling the story of an architecture firm. Not beauty shots of cars, engine specs or sexy helicopter shots.

Good Spot

This is a good spot, a good story and surprisingly it comes from a brand not known for such quality spots. It's almost Apple-esque' "Think Different"
