THE BAND-AID LIMITED EDITION CONVERSE X DR ROMANELLI

These custom Chuck Taylor kicks are officially bananas! As this year marks the 100th anniversary of Converse, they commissioned 100 of the world's most creative minds to each design a special sneaker. Each shoe expresses the respective artist's unique commentary on HIV/AIDS and how it affects everyone. Created as part of the 1HUND(RED) humanitarian campaign, what makes these so appropo is the use of the band-aid as a metaphor for healing. Props to multimedia artist Darren Romanelli a.k.a. DRx for this great design! (195.00 €)

The Interactive Shop Window

The Interactive Shop Window (ISW) in London's Covent Gardens lets window shoppers see what's on offer before going into the store. The ISW broadcasts images onto a shop window. Since the window is also coated with tiny touch-sensitive sensors, it acts as a giant computer screen, letting shoppers browse products by touching the window - as if they were online.
The ISW is not just meant as a marketing gimmick but also as an indication of how retailers have to compete with online shopping which is now more popular than ever.

The project is developed by MI - The Marketing Innovation Group.
