It’s not often I get to write about websites on here. Partly because I work on them all day long and also, the things I want to write about are usually the projects I’m currently working on, which for obvious reasons I can’t until they are launched. On Monday, here at AKQA we finally get to launch www.ferrari.com. A project which has been a whole year of blood, sweat, tears & tantrums! Part Art Directed by myself the site includes a video interactive walkthrough of the Maranello factory and a complete 3d experience of all of the GT range allowing you to explore every customizable option possible.

Hit the link on Monday 30th March.

Launch update - Explore the GT Range here.

Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are has been rumored about for some time now. It seems there may have been problems with the original test screenings, and how they were seen to be too dark & scary for kids, and therefore requiring scripts to be re-written. Warner Brothers have since released these images and an official release date of October this year.

Update - Apple has released the trailer today, here.

Adidas Originals seem to be making alot of noise again recently. There relationship with Manchester has alway been strong, so this secret pop-up event with The Ting Tings was no suprise, although the format itself was pretty different. Ticket holders were given a full white Adidas tracksuit to wear, matching headgear and a whole heap of paint and then encouraged to get ‘creative’ throughout the gig.
