Advice to Young Designers | The Window Seat

Equally important for, well, every creative. No. 7 is especially important. Nobody likes to work with a Nega-Nance.

(via WORK Beer) Beers after a long day of work have existed since the beginning of time. Virginia-based advertising/design/branding agency WORK Labs decided to cut out the middle man and launch their own beer brand, WORK Beer. If that doesn’t improve the workplace climate, I don’t know what does. The packaging and advertising are very well executed all around. I especially enjoy the hammer tap handle and punchcard-style label.

The agency we were rooting for lost. For some reason, the clients keep picking the stupid ideas.

when I accidentally walk into the wrong meeting and they all stop and stare at me

thisadvertisinglife:

Yes. Reblogging now and forever. Too true too many times. For some reason, I think all the conference rooms sound alike, so I usually walk into the wrong one. 

It would be unbelievably awesome if we created a pac-man game of our office with the conference rooms, bathrooms, and vending machines on it because I just saw our vending machine two weeks ago… and I stood there. Staring at it for 10 minutes.

I worked in advertising for ten years. It’s not the greatest job in the universe, and it’s an industry as prone to nauseating self-congratulation as any other. The clients are dicks. The creative directors are dicks. The account people are morons (I know because I was one). It’s a terribly frustrating job for anyone trying to be an “artist” or whatever the fuck. But that’s precisely the point. You’re not an artist. You’re just a shithead, and it would serve you well to learn how to work within limits, and with other people’s creative input. Who says you have nothing left to learn about how to be a writer or a director or a designer? Who says working in an actual job can’t help you become better at what you do? WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Marketing Campaign of the Day: From noted quirk-maker Wes Anderson and stop-motion animation studio Laika (Coraline) comes the first in a series of 60-spots for Sony’s Xperia line of smartphone.

For the campaign, Sony asked kids what they thought made the Xperia phones so smart, and then animated their responses.

There is also a brief making-of video, which you can watch here.

(via Digital Debauchery With Anthony Bourdain) There were so many awesome people who talked at SXSW Interactive that I am forever grateful to Ogilvy Notes for illustrating a few.  The one up there illustrates Anthony Bourdain’s panel. If you’re really desperate for more Bourdain snark and knowledge, read some tidbits on twitter with the hashtag - #SXBourdain
