Pantone Color Trend Seminar

On Tuesday November 30th at 12pm EST Pantone, the leading experts in color trend analysis, will be having a free live webinar to discuss color trends for Autumn/Winter 2011/2012.

This is great free resource for designers and anyone who is interested in color.  I own quite a few of Pantone’s books and will certainly be tearing myself away from my workload long enough to log into the session.  See here to register.  Via Fly

On a separate note, I wanted to wish you all a great holiday weekend.  Whether you celebrate the Thanksgiving meal tradition or not, it’s a great time to reflect on the things that are positive in our lives.  I for one am thankful for my family and friends and anyone at all who finds the time to stop by this blog.  It’s really appreciated.

I’m taking the next couple of days off to do the family thing, but I’ll be back with more goodies come Monday.  XOXO!

Absolut OOH Campaign

I swear that in advertising liquor accounts have the most fun.  Since there are restrictions within television, advertisements for the wine and spirit category tend to involve a lot of cool and innovative out of home marketing in order to get buzz.  This is clearly the case with Absolut’s new transit campaign.

Absolut has paired up with photographers, Ellen Von Unwerth and Amanda De Cadenet and actresses Kate Beckinsale, Zooey Deschanel and Ali Larter to transform several Chicago bus shelters to what can be called beautiful works of art.

It’d be great if the campaign spread to New York especially to my neck of the woods in Brooklyn (just saying).

Friday Video: Beyonce – Why Don’t You Love Me

“Why Don’t You Love Me” is the ninth video from Beyonce Knowles’ album I Am… Sasha Fierce.  The music video for the song was directed by Melina Matsoukas and Beyonce herself under the alias “Bee-Z”. The video took two-three weeks of preparation and one day to film in Los Angeles on Mount Olympus and premiered on May 4, 201o.

Beyonce plays the role of a cooking and cleaning housewife here and the video is filmed with a very retro 50’s feel.  I really like the brown and gold hues that are accented in several of the scenes.  The fashion throughout is pretty incredible too.

I need to get on the Beyonce workout plan like right now.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!
