MGMT’s Social Media Scavenger Hunt

Link: MGMT’s Social Media Scavenger Hunt

For a secret show in every city, MGMT provides a password and secret location to qualify for the next “challenge”. 2 hours of your time is required and you will be one of 6 to attend electric pop heaven. That’s if you got time, it’s quite tedious.

The most important thing besides technology was always to create a visual lexicon of your own, an accumulation of signs that immediately spell your initials. It is, of course, true for any creative field.

Brand Thoughts: Fashionista

After publishing with a blackletter logo since 2007, Fashionista decided it was time to reconside and redesign its stoic face as well as swap its back-end CMS from Movable Type to WordPress.

The old logo was this oversized, domineering, gothic lettering thing that said “spiky, aggressive, old-school news brand.” That’s not what Fashionista is. The editors of Fashionista are excellent journalists who will be critical when it’s called for, but they’re also unashamedly fashion lovers. They might poke fun from time to time, but they’re not spiky or unnecessarily aggressive. And they’re also inherently new-generation when it comes to how they go about their business — they use a blog platform, Flip cameras, smartphones and various social media to deliver their content and engage their audience — so unless we were being very ironic with the gothic, old-school newspaper font thing it just wasn’t really appropriate. I’m also a big believer that the logo and furniture on the site should be a little subservient to the content — it’s the content that engages and the content travels well beyond the site too — so we also needed something a little less imposing.

ChatRoulette. Nexting by the numbers.

An entertaining short film by Casey Neistat, the other half of the Neistat Brothers, on the infographics of ChatRoulette. He conducts an ethnographic study examining the genders, ages, types of users, and the rate of getting ‘nexted’. Naturally the majority of the chats are from boys and pervs.
