Ipod killer

This arresting visual has been designed to alert and increase focus among music [iPod] listeners in public spaces, as iPod listeners are falling apart...

"Watch for cars when wearing headphone" reads the ad An awareness campaign to trigger responsible behaviourism in urban environements and sharp awakeness of one's surroundings. And since NS Wales police have noticed that the number of teenagers dying while listening to music-- with earphones deeply digged in, disconnecting them from the real world- is due to the detachement provoked by the musical distraction, they went on raising greater public awareness using such an eye-catching and unmissable visuals. by DDB Sydney CREATIVE DIRECTOR: Matt Eastwood ART DIRECTOR: Adam Rose

iGasm v/s iPod

iGasm, we laugh COMPUTER giants Apple are really worked up—over Ann Summers sex toy that hooks up to your iPod. You've seen these popular interpretations of the silhouette Apple iPods ads before -- used for everything from political satire iRaq to promoting church services. Now, Apple is unhappy about this particular one for the iGasm vibrator: "Women all over Britain are saying yes, yes, yes to the £30 iGasm that plugs into a music player and delivers good vibrations that pulse to the beat". But shocked iPod bosses are iRate—demanding stores to take down all posters of that gadget or risk a fight in the iCourt." Apple lawyers claim the poster is a blatant rip-off of iPods famous silhouette images and they will have to take legal action if posters are not removed immediately. Despite that, Ann Summers boss Jacqueline Gold is saying no, no, no and joked: "Perhaps I can send them an iGasm to put a smile back on their faces!"

new generation of Apple’s silhouette

The new ipod ads...actually not so new..since December 05 it's Eminem himself in middle. The solid neon color backdrops from the original silhouette ads have been completely transformed using an eclectic array of effects from graffiti inspired designs to flying paint.

Job lost

triplets silhouettes

Here are, it seems, intended copycats! The now infamous silhouettes are, as you can notice, reproduced with some kind of smartness since one of the ads, Fuse, is making an allusion to ipod with the "watch different" tagline hinting the "Think different" of Apple. Whereas, "the usual suspects" are insinuating that they are aware of the similarity with you know what, for their 21st Chaos Communication Congress, nonetheless it's meant to be I-dentic! I luv it!!

iRAQ

The captions reads, "10,000 Volts in your pocket, guilty or innocent." Photos taken on Broome St. and the subway, NYC, June 2004. We have seen those images a while ago but thought would be relevant to publish them on this blog since the post below is also about some smart street art. Did we say SOME SMART STREET ART?! or is this just an artful form of protest? Or both? Is it vandalism or fun for fun's sake? Whatever your take, it's one hell of a powerful example of culture-jamming made more persuasive by the Internet's exponential reach.

An anonymous scribbler took a marker & let his inspiration...& frustration go wild on a row of posters in New York City, expressing his "i"solation... The "i" in iPod "stands for isolation," he noted above one silhouette of that one figure dancing. "The 'i' stands for insecure," for "irrational," for "insurrection", "income" & so on so forth... Passerby's went on replying the 'i' stands for the person who did these comments 'is totally cool,' " one wrote. Another noted, "The I stands for impatence, you idiot." Another stated, "Your notes are stupid." Couple of days later, the game was over. Rain had washed most of the marks away. "I" THINK IT'S A BLOODY COOL INITIATIVE!! Where is my ipod?... need some iSOLation here...
