Awesome Apps: The Cinemagram Effect

The occasional banner ad has been popping up in cyberspace with what I'd like to refer to as a "Cinemagram effect". Although, word on the street there is another app out now, Flixel, which does the same thing as Cinemagram, only more efficiently. If you have never tried Cinemagram or Flixel, please proceed to do so now.

What I find really cool is the intersection between print and video that can happen to create an interactive experience for the user.

A great example of this is  by Bon Magazine online for a fashion editorial layout on Yohji Yamamoto, to an illuminating effect.

Outdoor Advertising: The Right Font is Worth a Lot More Than a Grand

What is with the font on this billboard, for the Eddie Murphy film, A Thousand Words? When I glanced at it, while driving in L.A., at first I thought it was for somewhere you get salads or healthy groceries.

Although, the title for this film is not much to speak of, either. Is it possible its short for the ol' saying A picture is worth a thousand words? Resort to cliches, Hollywood, rings a bell in the social consciousness every time.
