Meet Faraday, one of three beautifully designed bicycles that came into being as a result of the Oregon Manifest Creative Collaborations.
Fittingly as I’ve been investigating service design of late, this is an IDEO x Rock Lobster collab joint.
Pretty much ticks all my boxes, and while I probably wouldn’t opt for an electric bicycle personally, this thing is a work of design genius.
Read more about this fantastic design over at IDEO, check out the website of the team that built it here, and read some reviews of the bike here and here.
Make sure you check out the other two Creative Collaborations entrants too, Fuseproject x SyCip Design’s The Local and Ziba Design x Signal Cycles’ The Fremont, both gnarly bicycle too.
Much of my time is taken up helping brands navigate the fast-changing world of social media. So the recent Facebook Marketing Conference has given anyone who works with social media plenty to think about.
Alongside announcements about new advertising units, the biggest announcement was the launch of the Timeline page format for Brands. There are already a few great examples, but my favourite so far is the Fanta Facebook page.
I like it because it’s one big game.
The four Fanta characters are lost! Visitors to the page are tasked with scouring the decades to find each of the characters. When they find the characters they are then asked to Like the relevant status updates to return the characters to the Cover image.
I’m looking forward to seeing how other brands get creative with the new timeline format.
