Каталоги рекламных агентств в твиттере
Я надеялся что долго теперь не буду писать про твиттер, но не могу. Вчерашнее значимое событие вынуждает. Ну вы знаете, да, что в твиттере появились списки. Так вот, списки отстой. Полнейший. Потому что благодаря им теперь можно найти кучи крутых твиттерян на заданную тему и из-за этого мой браузер просто погряз в открытых вкладках и я уже несколько часов изучаю всевозможные чужие списки и не могу оторваться от этого процесса :)
Короче говоря, вы, я думаю, и сами сможете всё самое смачное найти, тем более это теперь очень легко, но пару штук хотел бы всё же посоветовать.
Во-первых – @chrisgrayson/lists Я не знаю кто этот чувак, но он у себя в твиттере насобирал очень много аккаунтов рекламных агентств и отсортировал их все по холдингам, к которым те принадлежат. Вот, например, все агентства из WPP – @chrisgrayson/ad-agencies-wpp, а вот из Omnicom – @chrisgrayson/ad-agencies-omnicom. Теперь можно не париться с ручным поиском :)
А вот здесь собрались все (ну или почти все) работники CP+B Group, которые есть в твиттере. Теперь работников тех или иных агентств тоже стало просто искать, ведь не все указывают место работы в профиле.
Тра-ля-ля. В общем, здорово :)
When I accused Burton Snowboards of Having a God Complex, I Hadn't Seen This Catalog. Jesus.
A catalog modeled after the Bible? Wow. That's bold. And I'm not even religious.
Last week, YoBeat.com, the snowboard site which operates out of my studio in
Portland, had a bit of an altercation with Burton Snowboards. An
advertiser's attempted power trip to control editorial turned into Burton
employees leaving anonymous hate comments from Burton's IP address, which we
easily traced. You can see some of the details here.
reference to Burton. But then, this weekend, an ex-Burton employee (a
lay-off from earlier in the year) had the companies 2010 catalog sitting
out. I almost shit myself when I saw they modeled it after the Bible. Gilded
page edges, the whole bit. The Good Book? Jesus Christ. I guess I was right.

IKEA Catalog from 1965
I like how they still use the same typography and design today.
Crowdsourcing the catalog cover for the 2010 H-D model line: cool seeing my shots on there.
A few weeks ago, Harley Davidson announced that they were crowdsourcing the cover of their 2010 motorcycle catalog by having people email in photographs that would be used for a big mosaic on the front of the catalog. A mosaic is formed by assembling thousands of tiny images that - when viewed from a distance - form a larger image. H-D did a good job of running the program, with just a few simple rules around what type of content could be submitted (no kids, only original photos, etc.). Today they released an online version of the 2010 motorcycle catalog cover.
What they got right:
- It looks like lots of photos did get submitted.
- They're fun to look at - it's a slice of Americana that's entertaining.
- The Flash tool for panning and zooming is neat.
- It reinforces the diverse (and kooky) audience that rides these bikes.
What they got wrong:
- They didn't actually build a mosaic. A mosaic is formed by cleverly organizing the small images so that their native colors contribute to the larger image. Instead, H-D just threw out a bunch of smaller images and burned colors onto them to get their logo for the larger image. That's cheating. You don't get to modify the contributing images when you're building a mosaic.
- There are tons of repeats. Most of the images repeat at least once. Some multiple times. That makes it look like they failed to get enough submissions to pull this off. Even my images repeated.
Overall it's a neat marketing effort, though. You can see the result at http://www.harley-davidson-mosaic.com.
I submitted about 10 photos of friends and family, and they appeared in the finished pseudomosaic. Here they are. The little blue rectangle shows where on the bigger image the zoomed view is focused:
I have to laugh because that first shot of my parents was placed immediately next to the crazy aged queen in the lingerie. It takes all kinds...
