There is a website called Schtock with really neat illustrations like you see above made out of stock photos by a guy who says:
I work at a major stock photo company cataloging images. The majority of the stuff I work with will never see the light of day for no other reason than that most people don’t know it’s available to them. It’s a shame which I’m trying to remedy with this site. As an amateur designer, I occasionally can’t help but play around with the images I see floating across my desk on a daily basis. This site contains the results.
I thought that either this guy is very talented or there is something strange going on. So just a couple of google searches later, I discovered I was not alone in my suspicion.
Either way, if it’s a campaign from Corbis great, if not, this guy shouldn’t waste his time at the wrong job.
How cool would it be to see a building in a real estate ad or a 3D Mario on a Nintendo standee using this technology?! The technology is from HITlabs at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and was used for the Wellington Zoo.
We’re proud of our amazing summer intern for 2007. Eric Chan (or eepmon.com as he’s known) has put his mark on a tasty new campaign for XBox 360. As you’ll note in past blogs, Eric’s installation work graces our lobby at the offices of Fleming Creative Group and he was recently awarded a Gold standing in Computer Arts’ Graduate Showcase. Yes, we definitely can spot talent.
A neat German viral campaign for the new IKEA 2009 catalog. Basically, it’s a guy (Nils) waiting in an almost empty room until the catalog arrives and he can order some furniture.
You are able to watch the video-stream, drop a line via Twitter or even call him (from Canada: 011 49 402 261 1161). The best thing is: it’s all LIVE!

It’s not a new idea to reuse the videogame “The Incredible Machine” in real life. For instance, Honda used it for one of their ads, but it’s always enjoyable to watch other incredible interpretations like this.
Okay, so the story is pretty juvenile, but it’s a good use of the Interactive capabilities on YouTube. Definitely an interesting option for the right kind of project.

Genius - such a simple viral idea and also a totally brand-appropriate viral for Skype. This cracks me up!
Just watch and enjoy. If you want to participate and you have a camera and mic, tell flash to connect to them! If you’d prefer not, just click “deny” when flash asks you if it can record you and you can laugh along unrecorded.
