Digital agency Hellocomputer, with the help of Thingking, designed, built and installed a physical, outdoor website for the launch of the all-new Toyota RAV4.As the new model is built for outdoor adventurers, they decided to take the new RAV4 website directly to target market. Set up on a mountain biking track at the Bryanston Cycle Park, the outdoor website is a scaled-up, interactive version of the actual website. Cyclists used their mountain bikes as cursors to navigate.

Si Maclennan | Attention Seekers
In a witty move, Si Maclennan decided on Attention Seekers as the title and concept for this collection of “unashamedly self-promotional typography”. For the series he has chosen phrases applicable to the concept, such as “Am I trending yet?”, and visualised them as beautiful, elaborate custom type pieces.

Featured: Joey Hi-Fi
Joey Hi-Fi is the alter-ego of award-winning illustrator and designer, Dale Halvorsen. Although he enjoys working on (and impresses with) a variety of projects ranging from editorial illustration to comics to packaging, his speciality is book cover design.
Having made the decision to follow in the hallowed footsteps of his creative role models (Chip Kidd, gray 318) by trying his hand at book cover design, Joey Hi-Fi gets to indulge his two passions – design and illustration – at once. He says, “Despite what some may think, you literally CAN judge a book by its cover. Which is just as well – or I’d be out of job.”

Now well-known for embracing the crazy, Stimorol’s new campaign for a brand new offering is no different. Ogilvy & Mather Cape Town were bestowed the task of launching Stimorol Sensations: the most indulgent gum in the universe, ever. This they did with an integrated marketing campaign headlined by this new TV commercial shot on the ‘most indulgent set ever’. The ad features a clarinet-playing parrot, synchronised swimmers and 30 tons of pink goo, pretty standard stuff for Stimorol.
