This Is Dare. Are You?

I recently came across Dare's facebook page for grads. It's ok I guess. Another 'are-you-like-us' form thingy. Fine. But then I saw the above infographic animation that they've created to promote it. Now this is great. Very, very nice. Very topical. Very silly. Very cool. Grads, get on the case. This is a place you want to be right now.

Sound Sculptures

More great work from Dentsu London. Their 'Sound Sculptures' project for Canon’s PIXMA colour printer range saw Dentsu collaborate with an all-star team including Director Chris Hewitt, DOP Jason Tozer, and Biochemist Linden Geldhill. Each sculpture was created by stretching a balloon over a speaker to form a membrane.  A few drops of paint were then placed in the centre of the balloon and a single sharp note was played through the speaker, causing the paint to erupt for just a fraction of a second.
