			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In anticipation of it&#8217;s (now open) flagship store in midtown Manhattan, Target has been blanketing the city with ads, such as this one on a tourist bus&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-30" title="Target Tourist Bus" src="http://www.skladany.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/target.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="374" /></p>
<p>I thought this ad was particularly creative for using the tourists&#8217; heads as stand ins for Target shoppers. A tourist bus makes for a fairly uneven and peculiar canvas, so it&#8217;s great when those odd features are worked into the design.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not so different form the new (rumored) <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/11/droid-2-r2-d2-edition-spied-in-the-wild-ready-to-repair-your-x/" target="_blank">R2-D2 Motorola Droid 2</a> design, seen below&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31" title="R2-D2 Droid" src="http://www.skladany.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/rddroid.jpg" alt="" width="590" height="364" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m still deciding if this is awesome or geeky or both, but I love how the camera lens, flash and sensor are all worked into the design, so that it becomes R2&#8242;s eye.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not likely to run out to Target to buy an R2-D2 Droid anytime soon, but both of these examples make me think more highly of their respective brands.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like most designers these days, I&#8217;m often forced to sift through stock photography, 95% of which is utter garbage. Occasionally, I&#8217;ll come across equally atrocious stock video and wonder&#8211; How the hell could anyone put this stuff to use in anything other than a 3am infomercial or low-budget corporate meeting?</p>
<p>Well, now we know: A music video. <a href="http://moresoon.org/" target="_blank">Carl Burgess</a> scoured Getty images to created this video for Ratatat entitled &#8220;Drugs.&#8221;</p>

<p>Oh <a href="http://www.ratatatmusic.com/" target="_blank">Ratatat</a>. This awkward feeling will last me the rest of the morning. </p>
