By now you’ve all seen the photo, above, highlighting the difference between the papal announcement in ’05 versus the one from this year. At one point some design team figured out they could wedge a tiny camera into a cell phone, and it changed everything; anytime anything of note happens, the first thing people do is whip out their phones to record it.
As we mentioned in an earlier post, that means we internet denizens now get to see footage of things we couldn’t have twenty years ago, like the disaster in Japan. In a country with cell phone penetration that high, hundreds of citizen journalists were snapping pics and video, which helped drive home to the rest of the world how terrible that tragedy was.
Monday’s bombing in Boston reveals a new facet to this phenomena. In an effort to identify the bomber, police began actively courting anyone who had taken footage prior to the blast, as there were certainly more people holding up cell phone cameras or now-ubiquitous DSLRs than there were surveillance cameras in the area.
Bostonite Ben Levine works at a marketing and communications firm just steps away from one of the blast sites. Prior to the explosion, Ben was snapping pics of the marathon from the window circled in red below:
This is one of the photos he snapped a few hours before the blast:
Here’s the same photo after hundreds or thousands of eyeballs had pored over it:

Lacoste is celebrating 80 years and its iconic L.12.12. Polo shirt in a wide-ranging, colourful campaign. Created by BETC Paris, and its BETC Luxe and BETC Digital spin-offs, the campaign encompasses outdoor, print and digital and puts the Polo shirt firmly centre-stage, with core imagery shot by fashion photographer David Sims.
In addition, the campaign includes a joyous stop-motion online video, The Saga: 80 Years of the Lacoste L.12.12.. The animation shows off the shirt through the ages, also charting Lacoste’s evolution from sporting goods to fashion brand. It uses Polo-shirts of different hues to conjure a kaleidoscopic homage to the shirt itself and various decade-defining icons such as the Rubik’s cube, psychedelia and computer game Pong.
The one-minute video, which is being shown on the main Lacoste website and in stores, was co-designed and directed by Axel Courtière and FX Pourre at UFO who used more than 250 shirts to make up the animation – see the entire video below.
Some of the references are also picked up by a campaign website that shows how the shirt has evolved since 1933. It allows visitors to play four interactive games – from attempting to solve a virtual Rubik’s cube against the clock to sorting the colours of the rainbow. The Rubik’s cube in particular is somewhat addictive, if ever frustrating.

The Partners has created a striking campaign to raise awareness of the plight of street children around the world.
The branding consultancy was commissioned by the Consortium for Street Children, with the goal of highlighting the issue of children that have to live on the streets, both in the developed and developing worlds, and challenge the United Nations to officially recognise International Day for Street Children.
The Home Street Home campaign crystalises the issue in a visually effective way, using giant children’s room signs, placed in rather inhospitable looking street locations across south east and east London, to draw attention to the situation many kids are in.
The campaign used images of the signs, shot by photographer Paul Grundy, in the run-up to International Day for Street Children on April 12, also placing print ads and posters in various locations in UK cities and publications, and encouraging viewers to sign a petition for official UN recognition.
On the day itself, the signs – which were created and installed by the Jack Agency – were placed in high footfall areas such as Old Street underground station to gather further support (see below).
According to Stuart Radford, creative director of The Partners, the signage was designed to be portable and “can work in guerrilla fashion so that the charity can gain maximum benefit from the material developed for the campaign”. It also allows CSC to expand the campaign to different cities, as required.
Since the call to action on April 12 the petition has attracted nearly 3,000 signatures.
