Invader street art
My friend Colette lives in Paris down the road from a space invader. While I was visiting her, Colette’s dad told me about the street artist Invader who has been tiling walls in the shape nerd oddities since the 90s. Not just space invaders but pacmen, claris works icons and other images associated with the mac I had as a kid.
After hearing about them I started seeing them everywhere in the city. My favourite was by far this gem, Oscar the Grouch as the trashcan icon.
My dad (and Colette’s as well I am guessing) installed this on our computer in the 90s. From memory Oscar would come out of the bin and mumble something about trash whenever you emptied the documents in it. Those were the good old days before Apple sold out. Or before Sesame St did either.
Mini Cooper Cabrio
Brief from Creative Magazine to market the Cabrio to a younger male audience.
There is a perception that bigger cars are more fun to drive, but go karts are fun because they are so small. This campaign focuses on the ‘go kart handling’ of the Cabrio by upgrading the classic game Mario Kart.
An online game where players have a chance to win their own Cabrio.
As well as a browser based game, players can log on with Facebook or their smart phone to compete against friends and rivals in their state.
The three top players in each state are lent Cabriod to drive to Sydney for the grand finale: a real race held in Centennial Park where the winner takes home their new Mini Cooper car.
