30 Amazing Examples of Tilt-Shift Technology
I know this is a little off topic but I love this image technique too much not to share it, the clever use of tilt and selective focus to create a miniature effect - these are all real life images!
Professional Research Optimisation.
A unique wrist based device for long term surveying/data collection. A little niche perhaps but great if you have a project that needs it!
Oh and, more importantly, these guys were where I had my first proper marketing job 6 years ago.
My school friend Adam at Glastonbury.
The only social media link is that it was shared on Facebook. In true internet ‘meme’ style he posted the plain image and it was ‘posterised’ by another friend.
It is a picture made for sharing. Content remains king.
Right. Back to the social media then.
A Disturbance in the McForce
Picture for a moment that the forces of McDonalds, marching across the USA, represent the black Allies in the Star Wars universe. Everyone else represents the rebels.
When it comes to controlling the fast food market in the USA then you end up with the pretty black image above, though Sonic does a surprisingly good job of controlling the market in Texas.
Of course if the rebells all got together to tackle the force of McDonalds it’d be a very different picture. Quite what this has to do with anything (and certainly social media) I’m not sure.
It’s just a nice infographic.
New replay image (above) proves disallowed England World Cup Goal did NOT cross the goal line.
So there’s no need for all that fancy football technology afterall.
'Toy Story 3' Chock Full of Hidden Facts and Movie References
I found this interesting.
“Have you ever strolled through Tate Modern wondering about what would happen if the works of art came to life and, you know, had a bloody fight to the death? There’s an iPhone app for that!”
An ingenious ‘top trumps’ style game from the forward thinking Tate Modern team challenges visitors to collect a set of 7 artworks and then play them off against 1 or 2 friends. It’s a pretty ingenious way of making a gallery more exciting/interactive, especially for children or families. In battle mode the artworks fight, in mood mode you have to try and match a mood whilst in collector mode you have to build your own high value (but practical collection!).
The actual technology is pretty basic (you have to manually type an item code into the app to add it) but I still cannot wait to try it out. It’s made by a company called Hide & Seek who make ‘social games and playful experiences’ and are well worth checking out!
Patent pending.
