I saw this article on Kotaku about Spore Marketing that really got my attention.

Go tiny or go home. That's the Spore marketing philosophy apparently, as the folks from EA have installed what is probably the world's daintiest billboard in San Francisco's Union Square. At just 14" by 6", the Spore billboard requires a telescope to see.

Fortunately, EA has installed said telescope and aimed it directly at the wee Spore advertisement, giving passersby a chance to enjoy some smartly conceived marketing. If you happen to be in the Bay Area, specifically Union Square, you have a brief opportunity to check it out. Everyone else can live vicariously through pics after the jump.

My only minor complaint is the fact that this brillant idea wasn't applied to the entire city and a smaller teleschope wasn't erected for children to see this Advertisement as well. Imagine the amount of people who would have stopped to see this if their kid's wanted to look into the interesting telescope. Other than that its a great way to combine classic advertisement and street marketing.

Here's an example of the publics opinion on this marketing strategy

The whole idea behind good marketing is to make your target audience spend time with your product. If the telescope is part of the "product," and people are interacting with it, then this advert is a rousing success.

DIY Bullet Time

This is something that has been on the internet for about a year or so. However, age is nothing but a number in relation to my appreciation for good idea's. For those readers who remember how impressive the bullet time affect was in the Matrix too here is a way to create your own version of time altering video

The following is a tutorial on how to build your own cheap, portable and hood-style bullet time camera rig on the cheap and the fly. This rig was designed by the Graffiti Research Lab and director Dan the Man to use in a hip-hop music video for underground rappers Styles P, AZ and the legendary Large Professor (spinning below). Just another chapter in the GRL's continuing mission to make open source the sixth element of hip-hop.

Movie Typography

I came accross this while surfing and I have to say this is a dynamic use of words at the very least

here is the wikipedia definition

Typography is the art and techniques of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), letter-spacing (tracking) and kerning.
