The grass is always greener on the other side. I've got dead straight hair (blame it on the Asian genes!) so when I see someone rocking an afro or an entire head of curls, I stare in amazement. Looks like I'm not the only one though, it seems to also happen vice versa. Hence, Gerrel Saunders aka. Gaks made an illustrated series revolving around the topic titled 'CROWN'. It is described by . . .
Garbage Ideas
IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! DAY 4/7 Agencies normally select from a pool of the following gifts: Chocolate Printed Christmas Card Trendy Notebook A Christmas decoration Christmas Cupcakes & Cookies This year, we went for the latter (with pretty cute wrapping). Canadian advertising agency Wax thought outside the box this time and created a funny and crazy clever gift for . . .
Yellow Is My Colour
My colour explosion on Instagram, showcasing inspiration revolving around a single colour. YELLOW.

Adding Fun through Colours
Being the first day back from our week-long public holiday (I love China!), we definitely needed some colour in our day. ...and I certainly found it when I came across the rebranding of London-based design agency Dalziel&Pow. Their logo was first created 15 years ago and it was finally time for a fresh new look, so they made it all about bright colours, patterns, and expressive . . .
Ping Pong Fun
I hate that the word 'Ping Pong' now reminds me of seedy bars in Thailand. Perceptions. Do not fear, there is nothing dodgy about this post... A new advertisement by Pepsi MAX features 1840 ping pong balls and mousetraps. Intrigued? Check out the video to see what happens. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7YQT6BCuAE Crazy and strangely awesome. via AdWeek. . . .
Collab#1 by Now&Them
Where have the last two months disappeared to? Collab#1 by Now&Them. "What?" you say. Our communications agency Paper Stone Scissors started a platform called Now&Them, celebrating creativity in society. We launched with an event called Collab#1 - an exhibition that encourages collaboration across multiple industries. Furniture Designer x Chocolate Factory, Graffiti Artist x Skull . . .
A Small Refreshment
"It's the little things in life that make us happy." Coca-Cola seems to have stolen my life motto! Okay fine, it's hardly a line that I can claim credit for and this new campaign is seriously adorable. Miniatures seem to be quite the trend these days. These mini kiosks were placed in five major German cities: They had little vending machines to go along with their kiosks and sold . . .
Best Kind of Selfie
Selfies are everywhere. After a while, you just learn to block them out and scroll past them extra quickly whenever you're checking your Instagram feed. However, animal selfies? Now that's a different story. Brazilian stock photo agency Diomedia needed a creative campaign to debut the National Geographic Collection and what they came up with was good fun and definitely attention-grabbing. . . .
Trick to Survival
Loving this idea - The Survival Kit. Canadian creative studio Phoenix has come up with a solution to deadline anxiousness, presentation panic, or worrying about an electricity cut in the office. (This might perhaps be due to the fact that I'm currently in a dark room with one solitary lamp on and the music blasting at 8:15pm, attempting to cross just one more thing off my to-do list at . . .
Flower Petal Explosions
Was just talking about how advertising has reached yet another level after seeing a group of people mix & drink Robinsons juices in zero gravity with the help of Framestore, the Oscar winning VFX team behind Gravity - check it out. Then I saw this... 8 million vibrantly-coloured flower petals erupted through a small village in Costa Rica just the other day. Need further evidence? No, it's . . .
