SCAN TO SEE WHAT INSPIRES ME...

BRANDING - The 600+1 video was commissioned by Nike Global Design Team. The aim was to create a 2min video about what inspires Shanghai based creative Yehenala.

There are nine stories in the video, and a QR code is always centered in the frame. 'inspiration' is hiding behind the code, audience need to scan the code and receive a URL link to a web page. The web page contains photos of 'inspiration' in each of the nine stories in the video.

GEOTAGGED IMAGES BECOME ART

London

New York

DATA VISUALISATION - I'm currently slightly obsessed with infographics and data visualisations. If you haven't got InformationIsBeautiful.net bookmarked or on your RSS reader, you should!

The maps above of New York and London created by Eric Fischer show where photographs have been taken. Location data comes from the public Flickr and Picasa search APIs.

As you can see the more photographs that are taken in a specific location the higher the concentration of lines. The images start to depict an interesting narrative as to where is popular and were isn't. It would be great to see this map in real-time, you would begin to see physical parts of your city 'trending'.

HUMAN BILLBOARDS MAGAZINE BY STUDIO ROOMSERVICE

PUBLISHING - Some of you may know that eBay is rife with people selling their bodies as an advertising medium. For over two years, graphic designer Jacco Kranenburg purchased as many of these human billboards as possible to advertise his design studio Roomservice.

This is what Jacco told us about the reasoning behind the project:

"Out of sheer curiosity, I started to bid personally on several human billboard auctions. One thing that struck me was the utter confidence with which the different providers presented themselves.Without an exception, they were all convinced that they could provide unique and valuable advertising opportunities. For over two years I purchased as many of these human billboards as possible, advertising my design studio and web address. Instead of actual effective advertising, it did provide me with some delightful views into personal lives. Some of these most fascinating transactions are presented in this magazine."

How much would you sell advertising space on your body for?
