i am a sleepy girl, so you only get lower case letters. at least i'm letting you have punctuation, and this is not total stream of consciousness.

yesterday was a busy day. started at 10, which was nice. i will consider that a late start. we headed to fallon, which is yet another well know agency. they did the sony advertisements with the balls. fun fact, they actually taped that it was not digitally produced as most people assume. pretty fantastic. another ad they did they built a car out of cake, for real. it took over a week. i like the way this agency works. there are no limits to what they do. their most recent success was this one. love it? good.

after that we headed to the design museum. the focus was on industrial design, and architecture. it was very cool. it was only two levels. the first was packed with architecture. there were models every and pictures of insane buildings (ironically most of them were museums). it was crazy, and very cool. there was even a concept that was made for atlanta! but it was never built. the second floor was all about braun, and their products. it was interesting to see how things have changed over the years, and how much has stayed the same. they focus on simple design, not decorating things to make people want them. a pretty solid mentality.



just realized i have to be downstairs in half an hour for dinner, and i am currently wearing shorts and a tee shirt- not quite proper for going out. ah! more later, sorry to bomb outta here mommy dear.

  1. Nice that you are getting to see so many different styles of design & the differences in companies!!

    Saw a Chihuly special last night where they were putting together that piece you posted a picture of - it was just as cool (or maybe even more so) to watch them put the thing together as it is to see the piece in its entirety.

    Continue to have fun - you can sleep when you return home : )

  2. You are kidding - they filmed the Sony Bravia ad with bouncing balls? That is incredible. The gorilla was good but not near as good as that. Could not find the car built from cake.

    I will look for more posts later or tomorrow. Want to hear about Pentagram and Wolff Olins and
    then Westminster Abbey.

    What time do you leave for the airport on Sat? Can't wait to see you. Love, Mom

  3. Anne- that sounds awesome. It is pretty funny to me how out of place the piece is here. I stopped by that museum again and it just is so strange.

    Mom- Yes! In San Francisco. It only took one take, 250,000 balls. (They did some smaller takes of a few hundred balls being launched out of a cannon). I will try to figure out what car the ad was for. I don't remember off of the top of my head.

    We leave here at 12:50, and get to Atlanta at 5:50. Delta flight number 9.
