Snoop Norton Dogg

Longtime, valued FINE client Symantec’s been hitching their wagon to a number of interesting celebrity pitch people of late, including the likes of Kimbo Slice, ’80’s heavy metal band Dokken, Iron Man, and a few more celebrity sightings to come next week. But none are quite as striking as the sight of Snoop Dogg surrounded by the signature Norton yellow packaging. They are destined to out hip-hop the cybercriminals.

Saw an ad for one of these the other day and I had to get one. Have to say it’s an interesting design. You can drink filtered water and stop buying (and wasting) plastic water bottles.

This recent NYT article by Guy Deutscher exploring language and how it may (and may not) shape how we think is pretty fascinating…

…but in addition, some of the things Deutscher talks about, such as geographical vs egocentric navigation  (“the house is on the south side of the street” vs “the house will be on your left”) and the impact of language as it relates to perception of color (“As strange as it may sound, our experience of a Chagall painting actually depends to some extent on whether our language has a word for blue…”) easily spark thoughts about designing for the web, a medium which brings you viewers who, for instance, think (or at least speak) of bridges and clocks as masculine, bridges and clocks as feminine, and bridges and clocks as, well, just bridges and clocks. How to say the same thing to everyone?

First there was chalkboard paint, now there is whiteboard paint! My personal jetpack is probably just around the corner.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this done before, but I thought this was the most impactful way to advertise The Last Exorcist film to specific audience. #1: Teens and young adults get a thrill from watching horror movies, #2: Chatroulette is full of them. #3: The lucky viewers who got to see the girl’s face contort and get demonized are left puzzled, curious to see “wtf” that was. The ad simply toyed with you, as if it was within your own environment. I thought it was super clever!
