Australian graphic designer Cameron Booth has sketched out the U.S Numbered Highway System as if it were the London Tube. "Stylistically, the map definitely borrows from the London Underground 'Tube' map, although the final look is somewhat different due to the complexity of my map," Booth wrote by email. The map's detail only gets the justice it deserves in the high-resolution version available on Booth's Flickr account. (via)
Don't get me wrong. I like Coldplay as much as the next guy (way more than the next guy), but it seems to me that somebody stumbled around youtube for a while and cobbled this video together. here are what i see as the points of reference,
Blu. This Italian artist combines whimsy, stop-motion photography and abandoned or neglected buildings to create film candy. this video also shows that you don't have to cover-up the extant graffiti before you shoot.the coldplay building looks weirdly sterilized.
Kinetic Typography of Stephen Fry. Kinetic Typography is everyones favorite thing. Daft punk has like thousands of these videos made by students for their production classes.
Her Morning Elegance, Oren Lavie. This video took the blogosphere by storm. very pleasant.
also if you are going to paint blast a building, don't do it post production. get the sand out and do it like Sony did.
