Pecha Kucha Night: Boston

Pecha Kucha Night:

Presentation Format: 20 Images, 20 seconds each, exactly 6 minutes and 40 seconds.

Mike and I spoke at Pecha Kucha Night in Boston on wednesday. Pecha Kucha Night is a gathering of designers, architects, photographers, and other creative types. The event is worldwide and usually features 8-14 presenters.

Mike took the stage after the 20 minute beer break. The din died and the room became church-like. Mike gave an awesome talk. He focused on the history of The Barbarian Group, our creative approach, the creative lead process, and gave some solid insights into the wide variety of work we featured. He crammed hours worth of Barbarian knowledge into a 3 minute blitz, all the while cool as a cucumber.

Heres a photo of mike talking (confident), and me listening:

CNN Shirts!

Over the past few months we have been hard at work with one of our zanier ideas yet…a celebration of sorts, with our friends over at CNN.
And not just any celebration of course—this one is all about the news—and pretty much all the headlines that are fit to print… on a T-shirt.

We got really excited when CNN asked us to help them help people uncover the newly reorganized and video rich CNN.com. They came to us looking for a fun way to get the word out and we decided what better way to turn “I just saw it on CNN.com” into a phenomenon than on a T-shirt.

The premise is simple- we added a tiny little T-shirt icon next to the headlines on the front page. Click on the T-shirt and you are taken through a seamless shirt ordering experience where you can have your favorite headline turned into a shirt (gray, white or the currently most popular black) unique to you with a custom time-stamp—all for just $19.99 including shipping!

Some of our favorites so far have included: “Weird fish leave sea, spawn on beach,” “Prince drops copter in galpal’s yard”

Sound fun? Sound crazy? Don’t believe us? Check it out for yourself and help get the word out. There will be new shirts on cnn.com every day. Heck you might even find a headline you can’t live without too!
