An alphabet that animates itself

Here is a second video for The Alphabet by Italian design studio n9ve:

The Alphabet 2 from n9ve on Vimeo.

Each letter of the alphabet is filled with an animation demonstration. Like D is for DESTRUCTION and watch the D explode into smithereens. And N is for NOTHING. NIENTE. NADA. NICHTS. O is for ORIGAMI. T is for TETRIS, and so forth.  It's fun a little video.  

The first installation of The Alphabet includes a typeface representation for each letter of the alphabet:

Helvetica wears a crown. Because it is truly the king of typefaces.

Vivident's unexpected turn

Here's an oddvertisement for Vivident gum in Italy:

Oddvertising can sometimes come off as lame.  This Italian commercial kind of works for me.   

Marionettes are great. 

Immature signs

Italian sunglasses maker Glassing wanted to promote their new Music Skin collection at MIDO, an international optical fair, but the price for a booth was too expensive.  So they thought of way to promote the sunglasses for in a more cost-effective way that fits within the brand's "immature" personality. 

The Glassing female street team situated themselves at the entrance and secretly attached fliers on the backs of people entering MIDO.  Most passersbys did not mind to have these lovely females tapping them on the back.

The stunt is pranksterish, but it fits in with Glassing's "immature" brand.  It's gotta be a little obnoxious to find out you've been walking around a conference with a sign on your back, but this stunt was done in a way that it comes off as more funny than annoying.
