The Car of Tomorrow

One look at the Aptera, and you’d swear that it could fly. Coming off as a cross between a single engine Cessna and something George Jetson could be seen flying around in, this spectacular new breed of plug-in electronic hybrid vehicle sets our design obsessed, eco-friendly hearts aflutter. While this sweet ride may not be able to take to the friendly skies, it will save you a boatload of valuable gas money, getting over 230 miles per gallon. Not only does this awesome automobile set entirely new standards for environmental safety, but it does the same for passenger safety, employing a safety cage similar to that of a formula one racecar. It also contains an “eyes forward” vision system that gives the driver 180 degrees of rear sight. It may not be exactly ready to hit the road just yet, but for those living in California, you can reserve yours today. So if you inhabit the Golden State, want to be ahead of the environmental curve, and at the same time convince your neighbor that he or she overslept by about a hundred years, perhaps you should invest in an Aptera.

Clever brand campaign by JetBlue

via adverblog: In the US, JetBlue has launch an amusing nonsense website to explain which is the difference between flying and jetting. Their idea is to bring humanity back to air travel and they do it in a nice way, with the help of JWT New York.There are several weird, and sometimes silly, things to do on the site, that all together create an experience both funny and witty. The design is simple and functional, and all different content pieces in the end work together quite consistently.
