Creative Criminals

On the walls of the Q-Park Lepage parking lot in Brussels, Zacharevic created six unique 3D street art paintings featuring children playing. The result is a dynamic series of realistic installations that drivers actually can collide with unless they take care. They carry the strapline “Protect what’s behind you. Drive with a rearview camera” and are simply signed “Toyota”.

Another commercial, or maybe even short movie that can be added to the Coca-Cola happiness factory series. This one explains the inside of the happiness factory in a catchy tune.

Celebrating 125 years of Coca-Cola continues. This time they use the happiness theme in Peru. In a crowded district in Lima they deliberately left a wallet containing $100, now it comes down to testing people’s honesty. Who will return it to it’s rightful owner and receive a ‘happiness’ welcome? Apparently 70% did!

Remember the Coca-Cola happiness machine? Well this new stunt is a good extension of this campaign. A genuine happiness truck drives through the street of Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. Where will the happiness strike next?

The new commercial for Oreos is great! It reminds us of the old Classic Pepsi VS. Coca-Cola ad. The books the boy is choosing all concern the topic of happiness.

European road safety organisation OVK (Parents of Children Killed in Road Accidents) has launched the Slow Down iPhone application. It is designed to raise awareness on carelessness while driving. The music-based warning app uses GPS to work out the speed of the car and kicks into action when the driver exceeds the speed limit. You can download the application for free from the iTunes store.

Today you have the chance to add a tree as your friend on Facebook or even follow the tree on Twitter. It’s all part of a stunt performed by the scientific magazine EOS. They’ve mounted several instruments to the tree so they can analyze the conditions around it. If you are interested to know how the tree is ‘feeling’ today you can check this website.

Jeans slipped down so underpants are visible is trendy among youngsters; if babies would follow this trend you would get the following pictures. Unfortunately this idea has been done before.

The Belgian advertising agency Happiness Brussels is hiring a new graphic designer. For a good graphic designer it is important that he/she has good taste. To find this they were looking for the most tasteless thing ever made for a computer. And we are sure that everyone who is a little into graphic design will agree on this one: the font ‘Comic Sans’! It’s one of the most ugly, yet still most used fonts on the history of computers.
So to find a graphic designer that doesn’t want to indulge in these known clichés, Happiness Brussels has created the ‘Comic Sans Destroyer’, a downloadable application that will erase Comic Sans once and for all from your computer. Only after using this application and so removing all forms of Comic Sans, people can apply for the job as graphic designer.
For the people who also want to get rid of Comic Sans from their computer as well, you can download the app here.
