- Totally agree with this, her UO work is amazing - nice to know who's behind it.

My buddy Robert over at Nerdski found out that a young lady named Elysse Ricci is behind a lot of Urban Outfitters’ current branding, something that I’ve definitely noticed in the past year or so. The branding is pretty simple, mostly type driven pieces with muted colors and subtle textures.

I think Urban is one of those brands that has it right by not really having a set brand, they’re just kind of eclectic. I can’t think of a lot of other brands that really embody this as well as UO does and it works really well for them. I think Elyse is doing an amazing job of keeping the branding quite open and flexible.

This is a dik-dik,it is a cute little antelope with a dirty sounding name. You know you want some dik-dik.

- Amazing, both the footage and the tech. It's fairly intuitive and smooth, but I lost a bit of the impact of the imagery at first while I messed around with the player. I'm bothered by the little reflection under the page title tho. Seems frivolous and unnecessary.

This is a pretty amazing effect: CNN is doing panoramic videos that allow the user to pan around while the video plays. Watching and panning feel as though you're actually walking around in the scene holding the camera.
