When you place your own name on a product or service, it is something you should take great pride in just as Mr. Toyoda does. Today we would like to share with you a timeline of Toyota ads, from vintage to present day. Cars have certainly come along way since 1885 when Karl Friedrich Benz built the first gasoline automobile. Car manufacturers have come and gone. Toyoda, renamed Toyota in 1937, has been one of the world’s top producers for automobiles. From their Model AA introduced in 1936 to the present day where technology brought electric cars to the streets, Toyota had astonishing growth.
Cars, they all begin on a designers notepad and spring from design inspired minds. Some of the most amazing vehicles may never see the light of day but the concepts and artwork can.

Unless of course we are asleep and if these are the thoughts in our slumber, rest may become a race. High speed and sexy curves are contained best when we hit the street in the seat of a well designed machine.

Join us as we take a trip around the world of graphic design: First stop, Yemen. The small country on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula is an atmosphere of conflict and poverty, but through the sand rises up a few beautiful graphic designs.

One of my absolute favorite photographers that I would love to share with you is Ville Miettinen of Finland, also known by the name of “wili hybrid.” As a self-proclaimed “serial entrepreneur and investor, one may, at first thought, expect this man to be void of any definitive sense of creativity. However, an entrepreneurial spirit must not only be nurtured by, but requires, a flair for artistry and adventure. This comes through in wili hybrid’s photography, much of which is HDR and, by some standards, may be considered overdone … but I love it anyway, and I’m sure with an open pair of eyes and mind, you will, too.
