Branding by Ryan Feerer, a designer, illustrator, and educator who enjoys making good things for good people. Visit his website.

Ryan about the project:
“I did the branding and packaging for my friend’s boutique here in Abilene, Texas. All of the bags, tags, and business cards were hand stamped. Its quite a bit of work but feels more personable this way. Also, its more cost effective in the long run. Its pretty hip for Abilene… which is a wonderful thing!”

Remember my post last month about BHLDN? They now have a decor range. Although they focus on weddings, they sell a lot of decorating items that you could use to brighten up your home. More lovely products in the shop!

“Honey & Mackie’s is a ice cream shop for kids that caters to parents. The name of the establishment comes from the nicknames of the owners children. Thus, the branding & packaging needed to be modern, authentic & kid fun. In addition, the ingredients in their ice cream creations are all natural, organic and locally grown.”

I started this blog on Monday February 15th 2010, without a clear vision of where the blog was heading. One year later I saw I could categorize my pots into 4 categories:
advertising, art & design, lifestyle and my life. I wanted to give you, my readers, a better way of only reading posts on topics you’re interested in, hence the new blog design! You now can easily pick your topic of interest on the homepage!
I hope you like it! I guess this should be fine for another year or so!
Please let me know whether you like it or not, and if you would find any errors!

Oh, a little snap of the old blog:

Mothers day! This means a lot of perfume ads on tv! I love perfume commercials, and I love the fact that they are all different, yet so recognizable! You can always tell it’s a perfume ad when you see the first 5 seconds.

Paco Rabanne One Million & Lady Million

There is also a “One million” and a “Lady Million”, but I prefer the combined version.

Miss Dior Chérie

Ah, a feel-good commercial! I can hear the song when I see the pretty print ad!

Miss Dior Chérie

Another Miss Dior commercial.

Gucci Flora

I absolutely love this one! The music, the colors, the flowers, the voice at the end! You can almost smell the perfume…

Hugo Boss Orange

“Wear it with passion”, she definitely does!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

This is my current perfume, love it!

Why I’m dreaming of NYC

Remember our entry for the MS Imagine cup contest? Since we advanced to the 2nd round, we had to make a new movie. That’s what I’ve been working on almost constantly for the last 2 week.
I’m happy with the result, and it would be very nice if we could enter the finals in NYC! It’s up to a jury to decide if we managed to create a video where we show that we want to solve the worlds toughest problems by using technology.
More info on the project on littlereddress.be, make sure to enter your wish at mywishbox.org, but check the video first. ;)

Amazing animated GIFS by Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg. They add subtle movements to photos, creating something more than a photo, but less than a video.
Below are some examples, watch all their Cinegraphs on their website.
