  … and other musings on life.
  There just seems to be something about the aroma of food that jumpstarts the deep philosophizing for us at jungle[8].
  Today’s late lunch (3:30pm!) was Asian fusion: salad, potstickers (both panfried and boiled), white rice, as well as the last of the steroid-injected potatoes (not pictured here because they were TOO […]

  The business of cards, high on creativity

  08.07.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I recently came across this amazing collection of very creative business cards posted on the Toxel.com blog. (be sure to visit their site to see the entire collection) Below are a few of my favorites, high on creativity, but unfortunately I do not see the cradle to cradle philosophy employed in any of the designs, […]

  Cracking the Product Development Code

  Brilliant video on the process of creating a product. Sometimes things are over thought, here’s a clear example of too many “creatives” and not enough common sense. Funny, nevertheless.

  “Me too, me too!”, ie Tagalong brands.

  Creating a powerfully-branded product is hard, and more often than not, the success of a certain product is followed by a tide of poorly-designed, copy-cat products literally rushed onto the market and resembling something designed by someone’s perpetually high, video game-playing, jobless younger brother.
  Now, we understand young Jimmy needs to make an extra buck so […]

  eat or tattoo your logo?

  07.15.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  We’re all used to peeling the stickers off our bananas and apples. The blue Chiquita logo is as much a recognizable part of my childhood as the banana itself. I wasn’t a huge fan of the fruit, but I sure did like the free stickers.
  Stickers are fun, but what if the logo couldn’t be removed […]

  Fine, go ahead and keep your colorful, chunky plastic pens and ugly canvas totes.
  As long as I can keep my five-star dinner and “business” trip to Hawaii, I’m happy.
  Essentially, that’s what every doctor is thinking when they hear about the recently passed Industry Code on Interactions with Health Care Professionals. The bill is designed to […]

  the re-crowned king

  While some procrastinate about the deliverables of a message because of its “shocking” contents, while the same ones judge, ban, discredit, boycott too quickly branding that is not conform to their values and identities, let me relativise by giving you another perception of an ad.
  In a cartoon-like designed campaign series targeting the video-game generation, Burger […]

  A copywriters dream. When else can you start off copy from an ad with
  “Should I sniff her butt?”
  or how about:
  “Why do I have to poop in public?”
  or another favorite:
  “I just spent three quarters of my day licking myself. ”
  DDB Canada did a great job articulating what goes on inside a dog’s imagination with […]

  Carlin concurs: junk the MPAA!

  07.02.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  While jungle[8] reflected on the life and achievements of the late George Carlin in recent days, the subject of censorship was brought up. One of Carlin’s most memorable stand-up comedy routines—Dirty Words—challenged American society’s (and the FCC’s) puritanical censorship practices. The controversial bit (by early 70’s standards) illuminated the often hypocritical and contradictory practices of […]

  An alternative take on tony schwartz

  06.19.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  You may or may not have read the obituary of the late Tony Schwartz, who died Saturday, June 14 of this year. Credited by many as the father of fear-based political campaign advertising, and fear-based commercial advertising for his role in the creation of the infamous Daisy Ad, further examination of the man’s life and […]
