Lesquatrestacions

‘Lesquatrestacions’ – otherwise ‘The Four Seasons’ – refers to the musical composition of the composer, Antonio Vivaldi. It is essentially a graphic interpretation of the four violin concertos that make this baroque masterpiece. To create ‘Lesquatrestacions’, we have designed a prototype – ‘SisTeMu’ – a graphic notation system which looks at interpreting musical texture.

CIA ATHLETICA. Spend more time!

Cia Athletica ends with apology.

When spending time taking care of health and well being, it is common to hear ” I don’t have time for that, ” I can’t do that, “it’s impossible to get there”. Thinking on how to demystify these excuses and prove that there is no need to give away personal achievements in order to get in shape, DDB Brasil created a humorous campaign for Cia Athletica. The ads suggest that people will invest a little time on themselves and make a relation between the shape of people that spend time with hobbies and mannerisms with those who dedicate themselves to their own well being. The campaign has three parts, titled “Origami”, “Letters” and “Garden”. Continue reading »

White Power Milk

Sarah’s milk is bold, characteristically thick and buttery like melted vanilla ice cream. Collectors tend to enjoy her as a dessert. A little goes a long way, so take your time. Allow her flavors to permeate the mouth slowly. It’s not a race.

“Many are drawn to White Power Milk for the comforting certainty that our milk is the purest available. But it’s something more elusive, and difficult to put into words, that keeps our customers coming back. We create a select beverage that is not only more healthy for your body, but is culturally superior. Sure, the milk available at your local grocery store meets USDA government standards for quality, but these standards are set to a mere minimum of purity. You deserve the best.”

Che Guevara’s Watch

Before his death, Che Guevara exclaimed, “Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.” These words were intended to imply that his ideals would live on. The reality of what lived on after his death is slightly different, however. The collective imagination of mankind has turned Che into an icon encompassing a vast array of meanings. Some see him as a messiah; others view him as the devil. His image conjures the essence of communism for some and for others it translates into actual dollars from tee shirts sold. “Che Guevara’s Watch” examines these mythologies from the perspective of one moment: the moment of his death. Before it, he was a man. Continue reading »
