The Brooklyn Brothers‘ mission to cut through the crap that is any brand’s “intended image” is one that will inevitably cure the quarter-inch, 15-second attention span that most of us have formed to protect us from bombardment. Every one of the spots from the ‘Music Is…’ campaign for Fuse TV is conceptually simple, honest, and totally engaging visually. Ranging from film to animation, there is no strict stylistic theme within the collection aside from the tagline, yet each invokes a similar feeling of fleeting delight. My personal favorite is ‘Music Is a Time Machine’ (I’m a sucker for a tight beatbox).

Urban environments are a hotbed of inspiration. Everything from the alleys to the buildings and the walls can stimulate the need to create. It’s these typical city elements, as well as the discarded consumer ones such as garbage and other found stuffs, that influence Larver (a.k.a. Martin Bochicchio). The Madrid-based designer whose professional experience ranges from textile and graphic design to art direction, utilizes a variety of means including spray, mixed media, digital, photography, illustration and collage to create his unique paeans to the beauty inherent in the metropolitan scenery. We recommend checking out his website for a glimpse into his killer aesthetic .

This past January, John Rambo (as portrayed by Sylvester Stallone), descended upon the borders of Myanmar to dole out “aid” in the form of explosions and plenty of collateral damage. Presently, that kind of “assistance” isn’t going to be of much benefit. Fortunately, the folks at Create/Reject have a more inventive, less violent idea for a way to assist the nation’s one million plus people still suffering from the effects of the May 2nd cyclone. Rather than relying on the use of force, they’re relying on the sale of fonts. Their simple response for the request for relief was to put together a book titled Fifty Designers Current Favorite Typefaces, featuring ideas from talents such as Stefan Sagmeister and Experimental Jetset. The best part of the whole deal is that all proceeds from the sale go directly to UNICEF. At the dirt cheap cost of nearly $6, it’s worth much more.

Remember the Camp Camp book we were giving away to folks who sent in their pictures of the good ol’ camp days? Oh yeah, that one. Well, it didn’t work. In retrospect we realized the likelihood of having a digital version of your camp year debauchery photos was probably quite low. So with that said, we’re back again with another contest, and this time it’s a hell of a lot easier to enter. Tell us your funniest camp stories, make us laugh or giggle the most and you win. Pranks, first kisses, hazing– we want to hear it all.

Or if you’re just too lazy to tell us stories of your life, go buy the book on Amazon. It’s funny, very funny.
