Brides Live Wedding – Time for the Honeymoon!

admin — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 20:11:45 +0000

The flower petals have been spread, the “I do’s” exclaimed, rings exchanged, and Briana and Jason are off on their Relaxing Retreat in the Cayman Islands. The wedding on Sunday was picture perfect. Did you catch them tying the not? If you missed it – or if you just want to replay the scene – you can catch it again here on Brides.com.

We loved working with Brides Magazine over these last few months, and are thrilled to have been a part of this great program. We’re sad to see it over, but are so happy to have seen it such a success. If you want to catch up on all the details voted for by you, you can still catch them on our Facebook app here. Thanks again to Brides, Zuckerberg Media, LiveStream, and all the program sponsors, for being great collaborators on this project.

Congrats and Happy Honeymoon-ing to Briana and Jason!

Teen Vogue Insider Web App

admin — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 21:15:53 +0000

We’re delighted to announce yet another collaboration with Teen Vogue. Last year we partnered with them to create the Teen Vogue Insider App. It received stellar reviews from users and critics alike, so naturally we were thrilled when they asked us to design and develop a web app version. The new web application – which launched just last week – replicates all of the features and functionality of the mobile app version, and is accessible from any browser anywhere. Now you can collect your “entries” for a chance to win one of TV’s exciting and plentiful sweepstakes from any device with an internet connection. So visit m.teenvogueinsider.com, browse Teen Vogue “shops” nearby, flip through recent magazine issues for new features, and register to win cool prizes. Try it out!

Presenting the Brides Live Wedding Facebook App!

These last few months have been busy ones over here at FOUR32C. We’ve been working hard on many exciting projects, including a collaboration with Brides magazine to design, develop, and promote their live Facebook wedding app. Brides Live Wedding is the first of its kind; a program to produce an interactive, fully sponsored, and crowd-sourced wedding. Couples register to win the wedding of dreams, in which the details – the dress, the flowers, the ring, even the couple – are chosen by you! The lucky pair will be married in a lavish affair at the St. Regis in Monarch Beach, with features sponsored by David’s Bridal, Simon G. Jewelry, Bel Air Bridal, and more. (Not to mention a spectacular honeymoon in the Cayman Islands!) We’ve been thrilled to be a part of this project from the beginning and cannot wait for the wedding to air live on April 7th. And if you happen to be preparing for that special date yourself, hurry up and sign up to win the wedding of your dreams. Registration ends tomorrow! Otherwise, get out there and cast your vote!

Ready for Back to School Saturday

admin — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 17:42:50 +0000

Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday. The retail calendar is loaded with shopping events. But the biggest—and undoubtedly the most important—retail season, back-to-school, has gone without an event, dispersed from June through September.

No longer. Teen Vogue has declared this Saturday, August 11 Back to School Saturday. Dozens of partners like American Eagle, American Apparel, and other retailers without American in their names are offering up sweet discounts and free swag all across the country.

We’re proud that our Teen Vogue Insider app is the compass for shoppers this Saturday. It ties the print edition, the shopping event and the deals offered by partners around a single anchor. We think it’ll be a fun way for girls to explore the Teen Vogue world in their hometowns, and to perfect their back to school looks while they’re at it.

20th Anniversary for First Photo on the Web

admin — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 10:00:42 +0000

It’s been twenty years since Tim Berners-Lee decided to expand his relatively new tech project, the World Wide Web, into the world of digital imagery. Sometime around July 18th, though the exact date is a bit fuzzy, Mr. Berners-Lee uploaded the below image of the comedy band Les Horribles Cernettes, made up of girlfriends and secretaries of CERN scientists.

It would be the web’s first color photo.

Why this image? Why not have the Vatican archive be the first in a series of web upload milestones? Many boil it down to the simple fact that Mr. Berners-Lee was a bit of a crossdresser. Equally as interesting is the fact that the photo was edited using the very first version of Photoshop, and was saved as a GIF file, a relatively new file type that allowed for processor efficient editing of color photos.

Behold the beginning of the now ‘vintage’ GIF trend, some incredible typography, elbow length gloves, and the glory of the web’s first photo. Read more at Motherboard.

Introducing the Teen Vogue Insider App

All systems go! We just let the Teen Vogue Insider app into the likely-manicured hands of tasteful, iPhone-toting girls everywhere. We made it to bring the magazine to life in fun, interactive ways. But we still needed to introduce readers to their new digital playground.

We know these girls deserve better than a dull app tutorial, so we decided to have some fun. Our solution was to make a one-minute spot that portrays the world surrounding the app and shows the app’s key features inside that world.

We collaborated with (awesome) artist Jessica Findley, who’s created distinctive illustrations for brands like Paul Frank, Moleskine, and the New York Times. The video blends on-brand photography and detailed product shots with her quirky, hand-drawn type and illustrations to evoke Teen Vogue’s personality and vibe, but still lets the product shine through.

We think it makes for a fun sixty seconds. Enjoy!

We are hiring!
