New Zealand’s National Foundation for the Deaf put together this thought-provoking commercial that puts you in the head of a hearing-impaired person. It made me want to take up my short-lived ASL lessons again – or at least remember not to turn my head when speaking to my deaf friends…

Here’s a lecture I found interesting on the changing nature of advertising, and the increased importance of presenting something that is remarkable (whether it is good or bad) so it will cut through the noise that most consumers simply ignore.
Good brainfood!

Practically a love letter to the graphic designers of the world, this little short film personifies all the major fonts that we creatives have been working with for the last 15 years.

As a kid I was an enormous fan of Python founder John Cleese’s 70’s sitcom Fawlty Towers. Recently I stumbled on this mid-80’s ad Cleese did for Compaq’s early laptop. Brilliant comedy meets brilliant advertising. (Now with 4.1 megabytes!)
Enjoy.
