At ACMI, there’s a wall-sized art installation with chart that maps the essential elements needed in (an advertising) campaign when “Selling to Australia”. The chart is most likely to be correct about the Australian-ness of these elements, and I’m also thinking that many of these might also be inherent to all humans (in varying degrees), […]

The ubiquitous profile of the bottle from this soft drink brand allows for minimal design to promote it’s latest offering. This roller-poster advertising fixture at a local train station featured a black stencil-like overlay of the soft drink bottle and pursed lips with a constantly changing coloured poster underneath. The changing poster fave the effect […]
The Rock wrap
On Melbourne’s metropolitan train network, interior and exterior advertising is becoming more prevalent. Needless to say that I was completely surprised when I entered the train and was assaulted the advertising for the new film by formerly-known-as-The Rock Dwayne Johnson. Advertising inside a train seems to makes sense. Once inside the train, travellers become a captive […]
Interesting design considerations when designing across the fold for an audience that may only see one part of the display.
This could be You (Tube)
A poster at a local tram stop for a fascinating marketing campaign by Google to sell online fame and (potential) content monetisation to young people.
Public promotional posters with the same black, red and gold colours and design affectation with a completely different messages. Interesting accidental design trend.
Question 1.1: Click & Collect
For Week 1’s 1.1 Good design homework for Design: Creation of Artifacts in Society, I was required to consider the artifacts I use regularly and then briefly explain why I love it. I know the Coles Click & Collect service isn’t an artifact and it doesn’t really fit within the assignment brief like the Sipper lid, but it evoked […]
Some pushback and then a response
An interesting and perhaps unexpected pushback from Twitter users in response to Red Bull’s June 2014 promotion/advertising campaign on Twitter. It took some time, but Red Bull’s marketing team eventually responded to the majority of people who responded unfavourably to the promotion. They didn’t respond to some of the more provocative tweets.
Advertisements about advertising
Advertisements about advertising on YouTube reinforced with some recommendations for seeing more videos from YouTube Advertisers. Interesting.
An uncommon sight. Advertising on the inside one of Melbourne’s Metro Trains. This could be a test for a possible revenue stream for the franchise operator of our suburban railway network. I’ve seen advertising on the outside of trains before, but never on the inside. This is new. Also, the irony of an advertising campaign for […]

Advertising taped to the footpath at pedestrian crossings is a common sight in areas of Busan such as Seomyeon that are frequented by youth, young people and university students. As a location for advertising it is ideal. It is one of the rare times busy pedestrians will stop, if only for a short time. That’s […]
