As I grow up and experience new and exciting things, I feel as though my blog should follow suit.Http://www.thecoolcommentator.blogspot.com has evolved over the last two years from a blog where I talked about nothing worth reading to being a source of cool and interesting content and a place where I shared a book I was writing.I have had quite a summer and have BIG plans for the future and so I

No post for a while - I just have not had time. A LOT has happened in the last couple of weeks, and A LOT has changed! More than I could imagine would change in such a short period of time. This time in two weeks I will be sat on a plane flying back to England.I don't have time on my side tonight but let me just fill you in on some details:I have met some celebs these past few weeks - The Mighty

Well, the last couple of days have been quite interesting to say the least. Wednesday night found me acting like a teenager again on Facebook talking to TA and listening to more of the playlist she sent me. We get on famously in cyber land and I was certain that the following night at The Anchor would prove that we get on well in reality too. I almost fell asleep at my desk whilst listening to

So the 4th July had arrived. I had been in the states, Florida to be exact, a couple years ago for 4th July but it was nothing compared to the 4th in New York.So the day got off to a bad start - I was hungover and unwell. I finally got out of the room around 3pm and went up and met up with K and G and their french friend EL. We wandered up to Columbus Circle and made our way into central park.

Ok so since the big wipe out quite a lot has happened, once more. Let me attempt to summerise and shout about the main points before I forget.So, the plan was to stay off the drink until Thursday...this lasted all of two days as I followed the girls of the New Yorker over to Van Diemens for Kareoke. B, M and U came along for the ride too. Long story short, the girls were hammered early on, I got

So, you have read about the nights that lead to what follows, so let me fill you in.I was woken by H and MJ at 11am Sunday morning and dragged off to do laundry. I felt okay but I was definitely still drunk. I ate lunch with S and J at a little burger bar down 9th Ave and really felt pretty fine. So fine in fact that I joined H, MJ and S on a trip up to Central Park.As we got off the subway and

By this point I had suffered three intense hangovers, recovered, and done it all again. Tonight saw a group of us pre-gaming in H's room with some vodka and orange juice. The pre-game turned into a bit of a party with a good 12 people in H's room shouting over each other. The plan was simple - get drunk and go to the Coyote Ugly Saloon on 2nd Avenue.We got the E train to 14th, and then the L to

So this night, Friday June something or other saw all venture out downtown. We ate at a bar called Firefly on Spring St in Soho and then meandered our way over to The Village Lantern. On our way we passed Wicked Willies which we had heard of before and as it seemed to be busseling we went in. In there we found a live band playing covers (mainly of MJ) and a bunch of beer pong tables. It was $4

So Wednesdays antics left me feeling a little worse for wear on Thursday. Work was a struggle with bouts of nausea followed my stomach cramps, not to mention the heat in and out of the office. But once again by 4pm I was feeling right as rain and ready for another night out.I mentioned in the last post that my friend was promoting a night at The Anchor. Well that night was tonight (Thursday) and

So, at the start of the previous post I was raving about how much of a difference a couple days off the ale can make and that I couldn't keep it up for 7 weeks...well one thing lead to another and the run of sobriety ended abruptly on Wednesday night.So, my friend, K, managed to get a list at a club called The Anchor on Spring street in Soho. It's a good spot and a celeb fave so I thought this

Well, it is amazing what a couple of days off from drinking can do for your psychi, health and happyness. I have been off the ale since Saturday night and it is now Wednesday, and I really do feel like a new man. It's been great going out and getting ABLITERATED all across Manhattan every night but it just can't be kept up for the next 7 weeks.Staying in has not been too bad at all. Sunday

Well, last week was quite a week. Going from good to bad, bad to excellent, excellent to okay, okay to shit and then back to excellent again. It was heavily alcoholic, for me it was actually pretty emotional at times and the amount of hangovers was just not cool.So the fire has been put out before anyone got too burnt. Miss Texas and I will be staying great friends but will not be taking it any

It is official...I am playing with fire and I am most likely going to get BURNED! But I just can't help it. This is addictive like a drug.If you ever read/remember the first few chapters of the story I wrote last summer - Our Empire State - then you really should know that I am virtually living that story right now. I wonder how it will end?!

Well, I'm just over two weeks into my summer long mission in New York City and what can I say, it feels like I have been here a life time already. So, I wanted to update the blog and fill you in on whats been happening, as so much has gone on so far I'm going to tell you about some of my highlights...here we go!

There has been a distinct lack of posts over the last month or so, sorry for that. I have been busy finishing off at university and preparing myself for my big summer long adventure in New York City. If you are new to the blog, I'm moving out to NY for three months to live and work. Just the other day I was informed that my second and longest internship had been cancelled which has left me in a

Now, I'm not too sure whether I like this or not. It's an interesting piece of work that's for sure. Just imagine if babies actually got tattooed, that would really push the taboo boundaries eh! Still, grabs your attention doesn't it?

I have come across some really snazzy bits of arty farty loveliness which I think would make great backgrounds. THey are a bit psychodelic, and a little bit colourful so enjoy and use them if you want, I won't be hurt but...THRILLED! ha!

Sorry for the lack of posting over the last couple of weeks. After a bit of an incident involving me face planting into some gravel, I have been a little unable to type too well. All better now and back down to business.Here is a campaign for Maccy D's run in London's Picadilly Circus. Please ignore the music!

Well, over the last couple of months my blog has come on leaps and bounds I feel it is time for a change. I want to take the blog to a new DOT COM URL (still with blogger) but alas Guerrilla Blogging is already taken...so it has forced me to come up with a new name. I did not want to change the name until I had hit on the perfect replacement, but now I have and it is on it's way.Over the next

So, following on from the Ogilvy office I thought I would share this with you as well. You watch films like Devil Wears Prada and TV programs like Ugly Betty and they all feature these clean, crisp, modern and fantastical office spaces, you think that this surely can only be done in the movies? Well, MODE Magazine, eat your heart out...it can be done in real life, and GHD proves it can be done in

I am just a little bit passionate about architecture. If I had been better at maths of physics I would have been an architect. Whether exterior or interior, I love it. This is one of the reasons why I am such a huge fan of cities. Sky scrapers are a particular favorite of mine, which is why New York means so much to me. Now, as everyone probably imagines, advertising agencies should have

Originally I didn't bother featuring the viral advert for the Honda Insight. I personally was not bowled over by it and thought there were much better adverts to be posting on the blog. Now, Honda have teamed up with Vimeo to take their viral ad to a new level. I won't go into what happens when you click play on the video, I will leave you to find that out for yourself but I will say that it is a

I was using a friends mac today and his desktop was possibly one of the most amazing and dynamic images of New York City I had ever seen. As I've mentioned before on this blog, I'm obsessed with everything about New York and this tickled my fancy no end! Apperently the technique is called HDR and it makes pictures look fantastic, it's a technique that was developed in the 1930's and is not used

This is just awesome. I love it because it uses typography in a really creative, and effective way. This animation is seamless and although I don't think it really sells me a Merc, it definately keeps me hooked and makes me want to watch it again. I also love that there is a clear narrative behind the animation as well, it's not just random, it technically has a beginning, middle and end.

This is a new TV advert for Flora by Gucci. Flora is a new perfume from the fashion giants and this advert, for once, is actually interesting and not your usual mix of uninspiring, unoriginal rubbish. I think it was directed by Chris Cunningham and generally is a great example of good art direction and clever editing/film techniques. Well worth a watch.

Thought I would whack up this little print ad by TBWA in Brussel's simply because I think the art direction is lovely. Really makes you stop and look at the advert, if I am honest though it'd doesn't make me want to buy the product/service (as with many fashion ads). You can't even really tell what they are trying to sell...which quite a lot of the time works really well but this time I think it

I'm not going to give anything away about this ad, hence this post will be a short one. Watch and check your colour in the mirror afterwards. There are some AMAZING special effects at work in this one.

Calm down, calm down. There is actually no nudity in this video, sorry folks! This was a campaign run this week for some new bit of tech that Peugeot is starting to use in their convertible cars. A bunch of young people were sent off around London wearing "nude suits" and a blue scarf around their necks. This was a great ambient marketing stunt and really grabbed the publics attention.

I was shown this by a good friend of mine today. I had seen a clip of it before but the full video is astounding. Now, I would LOVE to believe that this was just a bunch of skilled lads and the tricks were all real and not faked, but there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding it. Either way, really good to watch and if it was faked, it was done REALLY well.

Wow, well it has been almost a week since I sorted out my image issues and posted. It has been a hectic week of getting back to university, getting a load of work done and going out a few times for good measure.

Thank you to everyone who tried to help out with the images problems I have had the past week, and thank you all for your comments etc! I have now resolved the problem, I've gone through and changed the HTML coding for each image, time consuming but worth it!

I love this ad. I love it for two reasons.1. It doesn't thrust a POS or message down your throat and doesn't try to manipulate you into buying something.2. It's interactive, engaging and a damn sight more interesting that most adverts these days.This is a piece of technology called an "e-cast billboard". The advert is for Sharpie, everyones favorite permanent marker. The ad catches the general

Here is a print campaign created for New South Wales Police in Australia to highlight the importance of checking for cars while walking/running with your ipod on and blasting music. Apparently the number of teenagers dying while listening to their ipods while crossing the road is beginning to reach epidemic proportions.This ad is beautifully executed and really well art directed.

You have to remember that ambient/viral/guerilla advertising can be created for a VERY low cost, especially compared to TV ads etc, and advertisers don't have to fork out out huge spends in magazines and TV commercial air time...I reckon this form of advertising really does have a better impact on an audience and creates a much bigger buzz.Take this ad for example. This is a photo-realistic image

As you can see, this advert was placed across the floor of what looks like a shopping center. From above, the people walking across the floor look like fleas on the dog. Obviously the ad is for flea and tick repellent. Another quirky but successful way to advertise a product in an exciting way.The ad was created by Saatchi and Saatchi in Indonesia. According to some passers by, the ad

I came across this interesting piece of new technology today and thought I had to share it. The tech is called FLARE and is basically a whole bunch of moving metal "flakes" or "scales" which form the walls of a building. By changing the angle of the flakes in the sun light it forms a moving membrane or skin on the building. Above is a video showing FLARE in action. Really interesting stuff I

I like to think I'm a little ahead of everyone else when it comes to spotting these little viral gems, I get a lot of the heads up through people on twitter, and they really are ahead of the game.

I have been so mesmerized by how cool these videos look that I have decided to post up my three favorites. The first installment follows the creation of a whale in the sand of a beach in Australia.

Throughout the social-networking hemisphere people are talking about the WWF sponsored Earth Hour. I thought I would jump on the band wagon simply because there is a cool advert to go with it.

So I first heard about this on the radio. Let me explain...a student went up onto the flat part of his parents roof late one night and painted this large penis. His parents were clueless to the prank and the penis went unnoticed until a helicopter pilot was so amused he contacted the owners of the house. Apparently the pranked parents then rang up their sun, who was taking a gap year traveling

So after the last post I thought it would be sensible to post a behind-the-scenes look at the making of quite an influential and memorable advert. Everyone must have seen the Sony Bravia campaign over the last couple of years. This advert was one of the first, and one of the best of the lot and is highly regarded in the industry as, well, AWESOME! Check out how they made it...it wasn't just CGI!

This is one of my favorites ads to have been aired over the last year or so in the UK. I don't know if it was ever rolled out globally so I thought I would share it.It was made by the London arm the global agency BBH and features a box in an empty gallery which is then slowly opened and shaped into an Audi Q5 by a character on/inside the box. The song in the background is by Woodie Guthrie and

So here is a quirky website you should check out. FutureMeIt's a simple concept - you write an email today and schedule to send it to yourself in the future. I just did one to send to myself on my 24th birthday asking all the same questions I am asking myself now, but hopefully by then I will know the answers.Will your dreams come true?Will you get that job?Will you run that marathon you always

Just came across this blog entry.People learning English have the possibility to receive “One Word a Day” via email in order to improve their vocabulary.

Ok so this is a short film made as part of a new campaign for Schweppes. The campaign is to reposition Schweppes as a soft drink for adults. The drinks company launched a website called the Schweppes Short Film Festival and commissioned five directors to create short films aimed at a "mature audience". The short film Signs quickly made it over on youtube to their top 10 and has had nearly a

I think this is fantastic. It's amazing what some people can do we LED's, sheep and a bit of imagination! This is a viral video made for Samsung. I think it definitely works. What do you reckon? I would love to one day have a hand in making something as epic as this!

I have just come across this interesting little article about the state of Facebook post-refresh on their homepage. The new homepage really is rubbish and WAY too much like Twitter. To be honest, the design of Facebook has never much rivaled the brilliance of myspace so what can you expect from a CEO who seems to lack much creativity! I say Facebook should let you edit your own profile background

So everyone is aware that social networking online is taking over the world, application by application. Well, advertisers are aware of this too and so are slowly coming up with more and more intelligent ways to advertise and take advantage of this ever growing niche.I have come across a new idea for advertising within social media, its being called WOMI (Word Of Mouth Impression.)

Coming up are some of my favorite images/places in New York.Times Square from the box office steps. The buzz, the lights, the ticket touts, the insanity. What's not to love?!I believe this is the IBM tower behind the Apple Store on 5th Avenue. Standing on that corner, on 59th and 5th just astounds me.

I am featuring this advert simply because it is executed so perfectly. I sadly have not had the chance to catch this advert on the TV yet - but I can't wait to see it. It is to advertise the new sub-brand Tetley Red from Tetley Tea and directed by Chris Hewitt.

This is the third advert from Fallon London for Cadburys. It follows on from the successful Gorilla Ad (featured AGES ago on this very blog!) and a much less successful ad which featured different vehicles you see at an airport racing up a runway.It is just another great example of whacky ways to create entertainment, which in turn creates a buzz around the brand.In the modern age it is all about

So here is something I came across today. Every company, big or small had to start somewhere, everyone started out small. When these companies were born, the looked very different to how they look now. Look at these images of car brand logos and think about what they really look like, and appreciate the progression and growth of both humans, and brands.
