I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
Ah OK, well that explains a lot. Dunno which I edit I prefer though.
The only other non-verb/PSA "glowing ball" that I've seen isn't from saatchi, it's for GE Money bank and rather ugly in comparison. Perhaps this ball widget is a new toy, and so these ideas came after the toy?
Good post thecatat.
Whenever people ask designers, creatives, ad men, photographers etc to work for free - with the usual "and then we'll kick some paying work your way leter" or somesuch - they should consider how often they'd work for free.
We have expenses too.
I justwanted to add that it seems quite popular now, as part of the "engage the consumer" type feelgood to announce design and even direct your own ad competitions. Not that it's a recent trend, it's just everywhere you turn right now.
Via Researcher.se I found that adweek believes the first one second ad to have been done in 1998 by Masterlock: Top of Mind: Forget Football, We Want 'Super' Ads
In June 1998, Master Lock ran the first-ever, one-second commercial. In it, a bullet pierces a Master Lock, which shudders, but holds fast.
1993 comes before 1998, right? I'm not so good at math. ;) hehe.
