Scary Halloween Cereal Boxes

Wayne Harris Cereal Box

Cereal boxes over time provide a nice graphic design barometer to the designer world. The cleaver folks at Kreepsville Industries have killed the design barometer and taken cereal boxes to the grave and beyond. Some of the finest illustrators and designers have come together to incarnate a collection of “Cereal Killers” scary halloween cereal boxes for an upcoming coffin table book. The images produced in this collection are beyond words, so enjoy!

Just a week before their blockbuster debut, the Simpsons have their first Mobile game, “Minutes to Meltdown.” The game was created by a team from Fox Mobile Entertainment, Gracie Films, EA Mobile and mobile entertainment company Jamba. Gamers will guide Homer through Springfield to stop a meltdown at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant with appearances by Bart, Mr. Burns and other favorites.

The Simpsons team have created a solid mobile platform that includes ringtones, voicetones, wallpapers, screensavers and the Simpsons mobile game. All of these mobile phone products can be purchased through the Simpsons’ mobile site. For $9.99 a month, subscribers can purchase 6 different Simpson content products for their cell phones. For some reason, the mobile game is not supported through Verizon or Virgin Mobile.

All the right steps and elements have been added to leverage this brand internationally. “Woo-Hoo” We will see the successes of these promotional and marketing efforts after next weeks release of the Simpsons Movie on July 27.

Jonathan Yuen “Zen Gallery”

A masterfully animated, and smooth experience.

“Zen” styled elements come alive in a peaceful way that leads us into wanting to experience more. Mouse-overs instead of On-clicks give the sense of gently gliding through. The theme is what most designers (and most advertisers) strive to do: “To touch someone’s heart with design.”
