Buddha Board

[NOTE: Transferred from blog.makeitmade.com]

I don't post frequently enough. I blame it on work which saps me of the ability to write interesting things. My brother gave me this nifty Buddha Board water art thingy in hopes of getting the creative juices flowing. I tried to draw something tonight but it just ended up looking like nothing. Then I scribbled it out and it actually looked better. I am an interesting person. I swear. I'll post the pictures of my water art later when I finally load up my digital pictures. I wonder if I could use the water art quality to gauge my creativity and my happiness ...

okay after putzing around and calling my brother for help, here are the buddha board images as promised:

Day 1: Initial Picture

Day 1: Second Take

Day 2: New Picture

Next step is to get out the glare ...

(PS look at that! TABLE LAYOUT. oh baby. I'm learning. Slowly but surely)

GTA inspired Coca-Cola Commercial

[NOTE: Transferred from blog.makeitmade.com]

Forgot to post about this when I first saw it - but the GTA inspired Coca-Cola commercial is probably one of the most clever ads I've seen in a while. This take videogame advertising to a while new level ...

Not sure if it's officially by coke though, seems a bit more clever than I'd like to give them credit for. I haven't made a huge effort to follow Coca-Cola's efforts but their marketing stance seems to be all over the place. Sometimes they'll have something kind of clever, like my coke interface but then other times they just seem off, like their reaction to the mentos fountain experiment that's been circulating the web. Although their website now has the shading of a bottle with things exploding out of it ... so maybe they've rethought?
