    Recently, Boulder’s Coupe Studios challenged Egotist readers to pose sound questions via Twitter in preparation for their new “Ideas. Amplified.” campaign from gyro’s Denver office. The crowd-sourcing initiative launches today (you'll see it over there on the right) and features original animated soundscapes by Coupe, animated visuals by gyro AD and resident doodle maestro, Rob Lewis, and questions submitted by Egotist readers. Writer Ricky Lambert and ECD Cameron Day pitched in on the concept, along with Coupe’s multi-faceted sound designers and composers. Credit for the twittered questions appear in each banner. Tweet your question today for consideration in future banners — the weirder, the better.

  • Tumblr Tuesday: Dear Photograph – Now in Book Form!

    / Comments (1)

    About a year ago, 22-year old Taylor Jones started posting online – and asking for submissions of – photographs juxtaposing the past with the present in a simple, yet interesting way. Each image would then be captioned, beginning with the phrase, "Dear Photograph..."

    And just last week, in what seemed to be another nod to the past – publishing in print – a book compiling about 200 of those images went on sale. NPR caught up with Taylor to talk about how this all came about. "I'm a new-age nostalgic guy, I guess you could say," he says. Check out the full interview here.
