What a great way to promote the new Madden video game. Madden crushes the videos adjacent to his video ad. Not the first use of an ad interacting with surrounding content, but a brilliant application. Hats off to the agency. Dare you identify yourself?
Some Chinese students developed PhotoSketch, which turns a doodle into a composite photo (via Creativity Online). Want a bear standing on a house with a child? Just sketch them out, and the program takes care of the rest. Here’s the video about the site, which appears so popular it’s not available…
