andrew miller

millers current project aims to test the quality of design against our recognition of brands. everyday (for 100 days) the 'brand spirit' blog showcases a new example of an everyday object sprayed white in an effort to test our constant expose to branding. miller himself is 'by day a strategic agent of change... i study by night....and I’m on a perpetual quest for the perfect burger.'

keep an eye on this one.

do: easter parade

it's nothing new (been going since the mid-1800's 'when high-society ladies would promenade in their Easter finery after church') but it's such a creative classic that we had to feature the fact that easter parade is coming up this weekend in new york. with the most creative milinary on show everyone wants to have a good time and no-one wants to be taken seriously. even irving berlin dedicated a fred astaire and judy garland techni-colour musical film to it (worth a watch we promise you!).

space: red bull hq, amsterdam

the new headquarters, in a district on the north side of amsterdam’s port area, was designed by sid lee architechts and was a former heritage shipbuilding factory which included a disused russian submarine. the space was based on the brands dna and was designed “to suggest the idea of the two opposed and complementary hemispheres of the human mind, reason versus intuition, arts versus the industry, dark versus light, the rise of the angel versus the mention of the beast”.
