The Album cover for the for up coming album release from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs titled “Mosquito” has to be one of the crazies pieces of art I’ve seen in a while. Although I have to say, doesn’t this show some similarities to a Megadeath’s 2004 Youthanasia album cover? Check it out below. The Mosquito album cover was designed by South Korean animator Beomsik Shimbe Shim. The design is eye-catching to me because of the agony the Barney looking child seems to be experiencing? It has to be one of the craziest designs ever right? Anyway do you all see the same similarities I do between the two covers? Let…

Alabama is a name that has become synonmous with college football dominance. And while the clip below is supposed to be a comedy, there’s a certain amount of believability to it. The University of Alabama’s Paul Bryant Museum created the video in-house and it’s pretty funny, I must admit. The video is titled: “So Many Trophies, So Little Space” you’ll make the connection after watching the video. This is actually the second time I write a post on an ad involving Alabama football in the last coupled of weeks. The first post is: ESPN Roll Tide. These comedic sports ads just capture my interest, I guess. Client: University of Alabama…

ESPN and their ad agency Wieden + Kennedy’s “It’s not crazy, it’s sports” campaign have produced a plethora  of funny ads highlighting fans’ undying commitment to their teams. But Inside That Ad’s favorite has to be ESPN’s “Roll Tide.” By the way, does anyone know what “Roll Tide” actually means?I saw this ad today while watching the 2012 World Series of Poker on ESPN. Enjoy, I know I did. Best,A.B.

When you think of contemporary product designers, people like Philippe Starck or Jonathan Ive come to mind. We’ve come to see designers as larger-than-life entities, who from some Olympian perch survey the foibles and anxieties of the masses (at least, those with some disposable income) before setting the Chinese factories in motion to crank out yet another disposable bauble. The Fixperts project features a very different side to the practice of design, having as its objective the creation of “meaningful content that showcases how the design process can solve everyday challenges.” Solving everyday challenges. What a concept! Read more at creativebits.org.

So apparently, Nokia has decided to join the Apple bashing world when promoting its latest phone, the Lumia 920. Although, I have to say that the folks at Nokia weren’t as clever as the folks over at Samsung at pointing out the shortcoming of the phone from Cupertino. I’ve discussed the Samsung ad in the Samsung-Apple Throw Down. Nokia points out the lack of color options available to iPhone users. But even that isn’t completely true because the iPhone is so popular that you can pretty much have the casing customized with whatever you want. I have yet to find the agency behind this creative but for now, I am…
