Passfolio by Miruna Macri
A passport allows you access to different countries, and hopefully leaving it around will give Miruna Macri access to a job interview as well.The designer’s “passport” is actually her portfolio. The description showcases her resume, and samples of her work can be found as “visas” on various pages. She has deliberately left behind these “passfolios” in her favorite agencies in New York City in a bid to get a job, and we are quite sure that someone will take note of this cool and creative endeavor.

The Bear and The Hare: London Christmas 2013
The unofficial opening of British Christmas was made by John Lewis stores with their heart touching advertisement "The Bear & The Hare". When I first seen it I could not imagine that it was done by hands. Elliot Dear and Yves Geleyn of Blinkink were the duo charged by Adam & Eve DDB with bringing the ideas to life and you get a nice sense of the painstaking stop-motion process they went through over a period of several months. Guys proved that everything what was made by hand and heart has absolutely different impact on a viewer. Watch the movie and making of below.
