Inspiration snack #38 (No more Kim Jong-Il looking at things)

looking at rubber boots

(this is an up-date from a post of last year because our ”father of the nation, the tiger, center of the party and the universe, the most faithful incarnation, the glorious, admirable leader and father of the people” is no longer with us)

Kim Jong-Il looking at things, the funniest niche blog around. I’ve been following this blog for a while and you’d think all pictures of Kim Jong-Il looking at things would’ve been published by now. But updates are still poring in.

Future proof

Check these dancers as they create and interact with abstract forms. Their own movements determine the creation and final destruction of these elements. Created by Australian based agency The DCMI. Love it.

Heineken at the Champions League Finals in London

During a 3-day-build-up to the UEFA Champions League finals 2011 in London, sponsor Heineken dominated the city’s advertising space.
I was asked by Heineken to translate the global ‘open your world’ print campaign into dynamic animations that would enrich and maximize the campaigns impact .
These short videoclips where shown on single- and multiple screens in underground- and train stations all over London. With that taking the full advantage of the digital outdoor media possibilities in the city.

Back again

Man…. it seems ages ago since my last post. OK, without the exaggeration… two months. Well, a lot has happened and here’s the great news: I just started my own business!!!!!!
So, finally, after years of hesitation and indecisiveness the decision is there and I can call myself Owner, CEO, CFO, General Manager, Global Group Creative Director, Head of Sales Devision, Receptionist and Head of Catering of Make It Heppener! (or as Marc Zugerberg of Facebook was going to put on his business card: I’m CEO Bitch)

Wondering what I’m doing? Check my website www.benheppener.nl. This will soon carry my business name Make It Heppener.
It’s been extremely busy (and that’s good news for a start up) so inspirationspam suffered from that. But enough talk about me, let’s get back to the blogging.

In the U.K., where cigarette packages already scream out SMOKING CAUSES FATAL LUNG CANCER, a new law is being considered that would eradicate the branding from packs, making all packaging a generic shade of brown or grey.
