Blindfolded – or – The Unique Connection

Pandora Jewelry released The Unique Collection along with a two-minute spot by Danish agency Malling Publications, in which a group of blindfolded children are supposed to pick out their mothers based on their unique features. The video tries to prove that all women are unique, whether they’re a mom or not, just like Pandora’s jewelry.

25 Years Photoshop

Last week Photoshop, Adobe’s photo editing software, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of it’s first version. The program is a standard in the design industry and “Photoshop” has come to be synonymous with image manipulation. (Photoshop, the verb, was added to the Oxford English Dictionary back in 2006.)

To celebrate the tool that has helped shape creativity, artists from all over the world contributed their most amazing dreams—and their working files with layers for the following video Adobe put together:

Creativity & Boredom

We all had that moment in the shower, when something we had pondered finally clicks. It’s the wandering of the mind that let’s our brain take a different look at a problem. But as many have noticed lately, in the age of connectivity, we hardly have time any more to be bored.

The Atlantic’s Dr. James Hamblin explores the link between creativity and boredom in another installment of his off-beat perspectives on health topics in the IF OUR BODIES COULD TALK series.

If You’re Happy

December is in full swing and the holidays are definitely upon us. Which of course means food. Lots and lots of it.

Last week we looked the vast amounts of food we consume on an annual basis for thanksgiving, so its only fitting (pun intended) that Weight Watchers launched a new ad, letting people know they are here to help.

While the video doesn’t focus on holiday eating, but rather the fact that we eat no matter what our emotional state – happy, sad, mad – it once again shows the trend that everything happens earlier these days.

Those ads usually appeared just before new years, tapping into the “resolutionary” crowd.

On the other hand it may just be a gentle reminder not to go overboard in the first place.

Either way – it was well done. Take a look for yourself:

Lichtgrenze / Border of Light

This Sunday, November 9th, marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. To celebrate the momentous occasion, a spectacular light installation will follow the route of the former wall.

From November 7th until the 9th approximately 9.5 miles of the former border, that once divided the city of Berlin, will be re-imagined in light with thousands of illuminated balloons.

The idea was conceived by the brothers Christopher and Marc Bauder and was supported by the Robert-Havemann-Gesellschaft e.V. and developed with the help of Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH.
