Reinventing Valentine’s Day

PUPPY!!!!!!!!

Much like how hipsters and Internet folk love to hate Owl City, most people who are not madly in love enjoy hating Valentine’s Day. And why not? Try to truthfully tell me those HE WENT TO JARED!!! commercials don’t make you want to punch someone in the face. Valentine’s Day has become one of the most hackneyed holidays we’ve got, thus Brand New has been charged with reinventing it.

“…Bryony and I were invited by Studio 360…to tackle a rather interesting problem: Redesigning Valentine’s Day, everything from the hearts, to the roses, to the chocolates, to the expensive dinners, to Cupid. Everything we know about Valentine’s was due for a new approach…Of course, we said yes. Yes, to a project that we had to finish in less than two weeks, with no pay, and without any precedents to refer to. Regardless, we decided to approach it just as we would any identity or branding project.”

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  16. poker bot says:

    Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

    hey folks a others, Simply put I ran just as before. I personally haven?ˉt been in my website for some time since I have confused the little account, at the moment I stumbled upon it well! Overlook all of you everyone are generally my guys when I suspect everyone. Nice post!

  35. Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So good to find any individual with some unique thoughts on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this web site is something that’s wanted on the web, someone with a bit of originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!

  36. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  37. Hi,Neatpost.Thereisaproblemwithyourwebsiteininternetexplorer,wouldcheckthis…IEstillisthemarketleaderandabigportionofpeoplewillmissyourgreatwritingbecauseofthisproblem.

  38. I want to express thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of challenge. Because of scouting through the world-wide-web and obtaining tips which were not pleasant, I assumed my entire life was done. Existing without the solutions to the problems you’ve solved by way of your short article is a serious case, and ones that might have in a negative way affected my entire career if I had not discovered the blog. The knowledge and kindness in handling every aspect was helpful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come across such a point like this. I’m able to now look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for this professional and effective guide. I will not be reluctant to suggest the sites to anyone who should get counselling on this situation.

  39. This really answered my problem, thank you!

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  42. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  43. You made several good points there. I did a search on the theme and found the majority of persons will have the same opinion with your blog.

  44. A job well done. Another great article by a great author.

Sorry in case you feel I am being cheeky placing this here BUT I am 15 years old and have to do a project at school (for my GCSE exams).

Bookmarked, I will return every single week.
