The "OPioneers" commercials for the campaign is really powerful. I love how well the voice over and the imagery gel together even though they are representative of two completely separate eras. Walt Whitman + young hipsters running around = me wanting to enlist in the military and fight for my country... WEIRD!<br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HG8tqEUTlvs&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HG8tqEUTlvs&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />The campaign was done by ad agency <a href="http://www.wk.com/" target="_blank">Wieden + Kennedy</a>, Portland to help revive the idea of Levi's as the quintessential all-American denim brand... and I think it is really effective.<br /><br />The print campaign is also quite powerful, thanks to the photography of <a href="http://www.ryanmcginley.com/">Ryan McGinley</a>. The imagery is really strong, non-traditional compositions and artistic without taking the focus off the product, which people forget about a lot in todays ads. Also, the typography is beautifully done.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztLXQalXSNvpVVEQ_xfzA6g_QZRPGUgjOhFK4yerCzcxy87M159PD5jUn-kA0Or1-YBtqVlakbMMS5IOPscB80PUWybkalMOVksw4OW5ZQNpWz0vHauZBRdY8rlYvTN6bsZGHXw/s1600-h/levis4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztLXQalXSNvpVVEQ_xfzA6g_QZRPGUgjOhFK4yerCzcxy87M159PD5jUn-kA0Or1-YBtqVlakbMMS5IOPscB80PUWybkalMOVksw4OW5ZQNpWz0vHauZBRdY8rlYvTN6bsZGHXw/s400/levis4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413634243378846546" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86W26hVax_c0syy3kinUuG6v_6G9wp7VvbuKvIqNg2o0dwxRiEgmLeGSZuOCdNPtjapcnQ6zQ8_ZxmYspnKEDH78d9v1IHCDoaiMm326kjPiC5-VpYhA-LRMn0JywkPXFu45CDg/s1600-h/levis3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj86W26hVax_c0syy3kinUuG6v_6G9wp7VvbuKvIqNg2o0dwxRiEgmLeGSZuOCdNPtjapcnQ6zQ8_ZxmYspnKEDH78d9v1IHCDoaiMm326kjPiC5-VpYhA-LRMn0JywkPXFu45CDg/s400/levis3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413634184038928994" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYv1bybQa6XGteycoUuZOxMI_ZZKKT4BK9y1T8aGrWEVxjtc_mSfCiULHR_bthA4gJoWEGpaiXJOLk1iggS4J1AbeIilXEw3RYrCcUK_gED9y_A73sExmqGpQAPgUd9ey5FMoPw/s1600-h/levis2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnYv1bybQa6XGteycoUuZOxMI_ZZKKT4BK9y1T8aGrWEVxjtc_mSfCiULHR_bthA4gJoWEGpaiXJOLk1iggS4J1AbeIilXEw3RYrCcUK_gED9y_A73sExmqGpQAPgUd9ey5FMoPw/s400/levis2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413634118740162338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQuSFrtmdfZNQz_CozUq6PyjfFFCY04DdbaBN5uW5_iLd7oNRDf8Gdp_OrAMJ07hBYBE4JBqT31uDNDbssFj6f4vRi8FEWx1472r2klKpJu5_79x3QacBekQMsgCl2Xxx5LvPAkQ/s1600-h/levis1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 258px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQuSFrtmdfZNQz_CozUq6PyjfFFCY04DdbaBN5uW5_iLd7oNRDf8Gdp_OrAMJ07hBYBE4JBqT31uDNDbssFj6f4vRi8FEWx1472r2klKpJu5_79x3QacBekQMsgCl2Xxx5LvPAkQ/s400/levis1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413634042346368402" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />.subcontinental.gianthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16662927894223817617noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-36356516705271001072009-12-01T16:57:00.002-05:002009-12-01T17:01:10.933-05:00Dirt Nap<img src="file:///C:/Users/agahlot/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-4.jpg" alt="" />Love this !<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9uem4q6xsJXVmbfjPArgyY2sMd3s6uHahsMLY-ZZX7JeSYS_JqvyYHoIXz-jpNIVDvTbpAQJdjwNzFTLaH0H81oMRQ2OHnFOGGXgXF-2FxLkGNoAeXyAWDYtKTMU3cg9y18V4ig/s1600/anakon6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9uem4q6xsJXVmbfjPArgyY2sMd3s6uHahsMLY-ZZX7JeSYS_JqvyYHoIXz-jpNIVDvTbpAQJdjwNzFTLaH0H81oMRQ2OHnFOGGXgXF-2FxLkGNoAeXyAWDYtKTMU3cg9y18V4ig/s400/anakon6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410391027487761554" border="0" /></a>by <a href="http://www.okaybeta.com/">Carl Bender</a>subcontinental.gianthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16662927894223817617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12677772.post-6519908056138174812009-11-22T15:47:00.003-05:002009-11-22T15:49:51.914-05:00So I can..

The air is forced up into the loop amplifier and accelerated through the 1.3mm annular aperture, creating a jet of air that hugs the airfoil-shaped ramp. While exiting the loop amplifier, the jet pulls air from behind the fan into the airflow (inducement). At the same time, the surrounding air from the front and sides of the machine are forced into the air stream (entrainment), amplifying it 15 times.

A single electrical cord coils around what appears to be an empty volume, defining the iconic form of a table lamp and ultimately powering a single light bulb.</p> <p class="style4">The entire form is created exclusively from a single 100 foot extension cord that has been wrapped around a laser-cut clear plexiglass form.

Anyone that knows me (which is all three of the people that read this thing) knows all I usually wear is black t's, canvas shoes and flip flops. Not because I'm hip, cool and trying to keep up with the hipsters. No, more so because I'm lazy and I have the fashion sense of shag carpeting.<br /><br />One person on the internets that is the king of "street style" and all that is hip in fashion is Scott Schuman with his blog The Sartorialist. He runs around the world taking pics of "really cool people" in their coolest outfits. Now thanks to <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/">Christene Barberich & Piera Gelardi ( and designer Joshua Covarrubias)</a> we can all follow this simple flow chart to gaurantee catching The Sartorialists eye (lens).<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmM5_8QkHZs5ocJXs9jx9D0pB9WbKkD1Oi_K0kiXYxutlwFKBmfOQY6HoBASol0CaAW2OGu9BURmju_4gNPu-Nkc4CjFnmklonZtU0mnRzqrCSlJ7DQB_JOddpKYa91GqATJey8g/s1600-h/how-to-get-shot-by-sartorialist.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
