Fooled Ya!
By the end of Friday night I was getting really sick of the relationship status updates I was getting on Facebook. However, I very much enjoyed browsing the many innovative hoaxes that big time corporations had put up on the web just for the day. I don’t feel like April Fools’ Day advertisements are necessarily effective in gaining new consumers, although it’s great for us to see that there is a light, fun side to the overly serious business world. Here are some I found interesting!
I wouldn’t call myself a font fanatic but with my interest in graphic design I just had to go onto Google and type in Helvetica! This is what came up…Looks a bit different eh? Well I thought it was cool!
Here’s another one from Google. I’m sure most of you have seen this one though. I present you with Gmail Motion! It’s pretty hilarious the details and research they go into!
How about the Starbucks Mobile Pour? Many people I know would appreciate this smartphone application that allows Starbucks employees to track and deliver a hot, fresh cup of coffee to you wherever you are!
Keeps your eyes open for more next year!
