Louis Vuitton Online "That itself was an outstanding idea, but a piece was missing," said Ms. Bang. "I thought it would be better if it can actually lead to purchase for busy commuters while waiting for the subway. At that time, smartphone sales soared, and Tesco Homeplus already had the online purchase-delivery service in place. So the idea could be executed if we developed an application and delivery system. Thankfully, the client bought it."That the team comprises women played a significant role in the idea's genesis. "Outside of myself, all the other team members were married women who understand weekend grocery shopping is such a tough task," said Ms. Bang. "So we wanted to let the store come to people."The four make up what they call a "freestyle task force.""We occasionally get together whenever there's an interesting project or a good idea," said Ms. Bang. "Cheil is also fully supportive, because this kind of team is more flexible when it comes to developing new ideas and good creative." Since Homeplus, their collective output has included other fanciful ideas, including a Facebook theme park for Samsung and an "Angry Birds"-inspired campaign for Cass beer. U.K. newspaper the Guardian has positioned itself at the forefront of new-era journalism with moves such as putting its daily news list online and creating a Twitter-bot to answer news-related questions. Nike Air Max 2012 But Editor Alan Rusbridger's "open journalism" philosophy really crystallized in the eyes of the public with the launch of the fantastic "Three Little Pigs" spot, out of BBH London, which added a controversial dimension to the classic children's tale. The idea was conceived by young creative team Matt Fitch and Mark Lewis. "We decided the simplest way to show every aspect of how this brand works was to literally show it in action," said Mr. Lewis. "What if the Guardian reported on the story of the Three Little Pigs, and through open journalism we discover there was more to the story than we thought?"Just last month sportswear giant Nike unveiled its latest teamup with iconic UK store Liberty London, and now another footwear institution has received a floral makeover with the Liberty London for Dr. Martens collection being revealed.The Liberty and Dr. Martens collaboration sees two prints, Strawberry Thief and Martens Flower, adorning the traditional eight-hole and three-hole Dr. Martens boots and shoes, with the styles launching May 1.

The Oakland County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death a homicide, the result of a single gunshot to his head.The man is described as a black male in his 50s or 60s, clean-shaven with short, salt and pepper hair, wearing blue jeans, a blue sweatshirt, gray shorts and newer black and gray Nike Air Max shoes.No missing person report was filed for someone of this description and a fingerprint search of convicted felons did not turn up a match, according to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office. In 2008, Portland, Ore.-based graphic designer Aaron Draplin outlined a North American dilemma in a video that quickly went viral among design folk called “Why America is F*cked (Graphically, At Least).” Draplin was on stage at the annual Future.Innovation.Technology.Creativity. Air Jordan 6 event in Toronto on Apr. 24 to discuss the importance of bold, timeless design, hard work and other important details in his presentation entitled "Tall Tales from a Large Man.”Draplin is known for his work on Nike, Ford, a wide variety of action sports brands, his buddy's hot dog stand as well as the official logos for U.S. government stimulus projects like the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and the U.S. Department of Transportation’s TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) team. He’s also the creator of the eclectic Field Notes brand, a product inspired by his love of old memo pads and his disappointment upon finding out the whole Van Gogh-Moleskin thing was just a bunch of marketing.The Michigan native quickly won over the FITC audience of mostly young designers with his love of Rush, classic Canadian logos and stories of moving from upper Michigan to Oregon to go snowboarding and live out of a van. One of his tallest tales included getting the call on a Thursday to work on the U.S. government’s stimulus package logos that were unveiled the following Monday. Air Max 2012 The other was about getting a call from a “Farmer John” in Illinois to design a new logo for his farm. “Farmer John” turned out to be famed filmmaker John Hughes.Needless to say, Draplin’s an eclectic guy. I sat down with him to talk logo design and the challenges of entrepreneurship. First, who am I to tell some big agency that’s just spent six months toiling with a tough client how to do their job? That's a tough spot to be in. Aside from that, my advice would be to make things you think are cool, something that you’d wear on a hat or embroidered in a shirt or jacket. It’s got to look as amazing printed as small as a pea or on the side of a Lear jet. You’re really looking for a classic, universal quality.But again, I’m saying this first as a fan as opposed to as a designer. It’s a real bummer when you see something that’s so ubiquitous out in the world, that we cannot miss, and they did a poor job on it. That is not cool. That’s pollution.[In terms of rebrands,] you can tweak here or there, but be careful. You don’t mess with something like the CBC logo, ever. Why would you? That guy hit it out of the park.
