As we're working for the Internet (he's a person, don't even start to argue with me), me and Geoff find tons and tons of amazing content each week. And, while we can't write for you as much as we want (this blog being a personal side project for us), we decided we can at least compensate you with something.
Like the Silent Wednesday post, which offers no words, but images and animations for you to interpret however you wish, we'll be adding a new weekly (scheduled) post on Fridays.
We'll aggregate and collect the best of what we stumble upon throughout the Internet and on Fridays, present it to you, with a small description and commentary.
I hope you guys enjoy it and I leave you with our first catch :)
27 Brilliantly Designed Advertisements
We found this amazing collection of beautifully designed graphical ads. Each and everyone of them is gorgeous and deserves attention, but from all 27, two got my attention the most.
Number 2: Colgate Dental Floss - who new a simple kiwi can hold such a great smile.
And
Number 26:Plant For The Planet - Even
though leaf cut-out art has been around for quite some time, I still
find the message in that poster incredibly strong and the design
incredibly efficient. No unnecessary elements added and each single one
contributes to the message relayed. Great work!

How To Do SEO For Now And Forever
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's essentially a job that allows a website to get into the top results for a give search via Google, Yahoo or any other engine out there. It's not exact science and for the beginners, just like me half an year ago, it's hard to grasp the concepts of where to start and what to focus on.
Geoff found this short and interesting post that focuses on the basics and the foundations of SEO. It presents a decent and easy to understand and follow work flow and process of an SEO campaign.

The Proper Way To Announce There Is No School Because Of Snow
This next one is a hilarious video from the Durham Academy. Their Head of School and his assistant made an awesome video with a remake of Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. With it, they announce the school closing due to the severe weather conditions.
Nicely done mr. Michael Ulku-Steiner, nicely done.

3 Principles for Accepting Yourself and Being Authentically Happy
This is a brilliant post by Paul Dalton. He shares his story about how he found his real self and how he went through the devastating episode of losing your identity. He shares amazing advice on how to establish the principles of happiness in your life and how to achieve true happiness.
Although his post focuses on the issue with identity and authenticity, the rules he offers are much more versatile and useful. Even though I don't share his story, I found all three of them incredibly valuable and useful to use and explore within your life.

Recycled Art
I still support the statement that art is everywhere. However, there are people that can actually prove it. What recycled art is about is to find a purpose and a meaning to an object that has lost it's original ones. To collect and combine to inspire and create something from the "nothing" we throw away as unneeded. The following is a large collection of recycled art piece. I don't hope you enjoy them, because I know you will - you simply can't ignore the ingenuity, beauty and inspiration that they radiate.
