To amusingly yet convincingly dramatize the need for the Panasonic nose hair trimmer’s safety cutting system, creative billboards were built around actual electric poles and wires in Indonesia.
With thousands of sensory nerve fibers in human nostrils, trimming nose hair can be as risky as cutting live wires.
These are renderings of a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera high heel shoe created by CGSociety member Tim Cooper. He created them by combining a pair of his wife’s high heel shoes and lots of internet images of the Gallardo. He modeled and created the renderings in Modo adding smoke and text in Photoshop for this sample advertisement.

Under the direction of Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki and artist Masa Kimura, visitors built “The Breakfast Machine,” a Rube Goldberg-ish device that made an omelet, orange juice, coffee, and toast with jam. The project was part of Dutch Design Double, and its construction was documented over at Platform 21.

Here’s a video (in Dutch, with translation) of the breakfast machine in action:
“In a movie a breakfast-machine is usually used to introduce a nerd or a professor”“It is a very traditional breakfast: we call it ‘strictly continental’ ““There’s toast, jam made by my mother and coffee, but we still need to invent something to whisk the milk because I don’t like coffee without milk”“…and egg, scrambled egg, which is very easy: all you need to do is drop it on a plate and stop the skin from falling with it. That was one of the first things we finished.”“in a movie you can manipulate everything, but we wanted to build the real thing. Without any tricks, just to see if it could really work.”“They invite us and the audience to help improve the machine: Things go wrong all the time, there are thousands of small problems to be solved, by solving one problem at a time we’ll get there.”“Actually this isn’t very useful; you can just put an egg in a pan, fry it and you’re done. For us it’s about the process, the making of the machine and solving all those problems. Things keep falling or they break: That’s what this is about. If it delivers a perfect breakfast is, in the end, not the point.”
Holiday Inn unveils the world’s first Key Card Hotel – the first ever hotel made of key cards – 200,000 Holiday Inn key cards, to be specific. It weighs 4,000 pounds and took four months to construct.
The 400 sq. ft. Key Card Hotel was built by Cardstacker Bryan Berg, and includes a guest bedroom, bathroom and lobby, all fully equipped with life-sized furniture made out of Holiday Inn key cards.
The key card hotel will be open for viewing from Sept 17-21 at South Street Seaport in downtown Manhattan. During the five day event, Bryan Berg will build a freestanding 9-ft replica of New York’s Empire State Building in the lobby of the Key Card Hotel, using Holiday Inn branded playing cards.
If you stop by there, don’t forget to pick up your ‘virtual key card’ game piece – you might be the one with the ‘master key’ and win an all-expense paid trip to a Holiday Inn of their choice, anywhere in the world.
IHG is relaunching its Holiday Inn brand hotels globally, and the Sept 17 key card stackup is meant to mark the relaunch of 1200 Holiday Inn hotels.
Even if you can’t be there, all Holiday Inn guests can enter the the Key to Change promotion for a chance to win free nights at a newly relaunched Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express.
