This is a film about how we learn from the past and create from past culture. However the past will try to control the present and future, creating a conflict most interesting. From Disney to lawsuits you can see how we are actually manipulated to obey big business, which controls so much of what we say and hear. If you believe that it isn't a crime to make your own mash ups, remixes or videos then you can side with your current generation and educate yourself on who really makes the rules and pulls the strings.
this is a must see.

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time -- people who've profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising's "creative revolution" of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for "Just Do It," "I Love NY," "Where's the Beef?," "Got Milk," "Think Different," and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration.

Writer’s want to get paid for their work, no?
And not have it be plagiarized, right? People think writers aren’t skilled. They think if THEY can write a sentence, then anyone can. WRONG. This piece is about writers, and why they are artists too. Our blogger talks about her work being stolen, not getting paid and even having people ask her to work for free! Well this piece is a dedication to all writers who have been shunned at the Academy Awards by actors who never thanked them (only the directors), ho have been underpaid for their labor, who have been cheated for their beautiful use of language and for those who think writing isn’t as equal an art form as painting or as difficult a craft as design or tech work.

It’s astonishing to me when I have a discussion with most copywriters, marketers and entrepreneurs and they desperately look for the best approach to communicate or market a written message – when the most obvious tools are staring them right in the face.It’s astonishing to me when I have a discussion with most copywriters, marketers... more

Some of the littlest things are big to Jeff Deck, who is traveling the country in search of mistakes.
Man travels nation to correct typos on signs.
He's not looking for big ones, just the small ones like the missing "c" in "cappucino" and the misplaced apostrophe in "Today Special's" on the menu board.
This 28-year-old Dartmouth graduate is crossing America searching for and correcting typographical errors in public places.
Wearing a brown fedora, he's the Indiana Jones of typos. He finds them on parking signs, where cars will be towed at "owners expense," and at the "stationary" store, where they sell "dye cast" metal key chains.
Frequently, the problem is those wayward apostrophes.
"The apostrophe shows up when it's not wanted and is never there when you need it," he said as he walked along Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, finding plenty of typos wherever he looked.
He came across a T-shirt shop where the dash was missing between the "T" and the "shirt." Some of the littlest things are big to Jeff Deck, who is traveling the country in... more
