On one hand, this totally makes their point that Vodaphone gets great reception. On the other hand, it makes us hate their product and reminds us how annoying and always-on cell phones have become.

Great fast food package design.

The San Francisco Egotist — Thu, 23 May 2013 19:21:02 +0000

National

Check out this fantastic design for a fast food holder by Rhode Island School of Design industrial design student Seulbi Kim.

"People nowadays tend to more rely on having take-out food because their eating habit has changed due to their busy life. However, despite the fact that a number of take-out containers have been designed, packages for take-out burger meal are not really developed so far.

The carrier will reduce the volume by about 50% compared to that today because I tried to simplify the design and minimize the amount of paper used with a hook for French fries, a sleeve for a burger, and a hole for soda drink, which causes people to carry it easier, and more materials saving. It is one-handed, convenient, practical, and compact, so your hands can be more free by holding all in one."

Every single one of you have done these things. Don't try to deny it. Just read BuzzFeed's "27 Things Advertising People Know To Be True" and get ready to laugh because it's true.

Talk about a high bar to clear - if you're working on the Playboy account, you'd better damn well come up with something good. Because if you can't do a good ad for Playboy Fragrances, then what good are you?

Luckily, these deliver. Funny concept with a few surprises that make you chuckle. We like them.

Building a better... coffin?

Every year, Americans bury enough metal in the ground to rebuild the Golden Gate Bridge, says Vashon Island coffin maker Marcus Daly. His simple, handcrafted wooden coffins are an economical and environmentally friendly burial alternative. But Daly believes a coffin's most important feature is that it can be carried. Here's why.

Goodby helps SF get the Super Bowl

If you haven't heard by now, the 49ers were awarded Super Bowl 50 by the NFL. It'll be played in their new state-of-the-art Santa Clara stadium that's being built as we speak.

The 49ers and the SF Bid Committee, enlisted Goodby Silverstein & Partners to build the creative assets needed to win over the bid committee. The final bid package took the form of a sleek, white box (completely recyclable, of course) that contained an iPad, accenting the support of Bay Area technology giants like Apple, Adobe and Google. Each box was customized, engraved with the owner and team names inside the lid. The iPads came loaded with a video message from the SF Mayor, 3D renderings of the new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, and a pledge to be the most charity Super Bowl ever, among other things.
