Let’s have a (critical) view on our production on this blog… Is it enough? Is it equally distributed? Here are some statistics to help you make your own opinion.
Yes! Superpower, baby…
Some people really believe in superpowers. Ok, maybe not believe, but at least secretly wish to have one and take advantage of it every once and a while. But what if we pretend for a minute that we are actually super heroes, with all those powers seen in movies or cartoons?
What if the entire world [...]
Being a Mac, being a PC
Hunch is a website “which uses multiple-choice questions to help people make decisions, whether it’s what kind of camera to buy, where to go on vacation, or more than 5,000 other topics.” They came up with a study on “Mac vs PC People: Personality Traits & Aesthetic/Media Choices”. I feel this will become a meme on [...]

Pop vote
Our designers strike again with a nice tribute to Andy Warhol in this visual post. Fred and Sophie have adapted the official logo of the Election campaign in more than 200 versions (sizes, languages, national claims, national dates of elections). They dream about it, if you want to know.
A New Baby in the House
Suddenly, as happens in many families, the youngest sibling is not the youngest any more. The Web Communications unit has long traded on its image as the youngest and hippest unit in the DG Communication family. Maybe, just now and then, we have been able to get away with things our older brethren couldn’t have [...]
A penny or a farthing for “Headlines”
“Headlines” comes to you for free but you may be surprised what a lot of selling, commercialisation, advertising, negotiation goes behind the screen. The editor-in- charge of the article follows the news and when an interesting story comes up his way he defines the angle to make it appeal to the readers. Proving that is [...]
