Ok, our blog is looking like a tech geek’s wet dream. So now for something a little bit more in-line with the keeping of what we do, I give you El Semillero. From a simple seed can sprout the most implausible creations, and the only thing that you need to do is to go up, up and up… So starts a journey through one of the more original websites I’ve visited in a while. Discover the brain-bugs, the hand-flowers and the hearts with human caterpillars, all inside the incredible universe of “El Semillero“, I think it’s a school for creatives, advertisers and designers located in Mexico. The site is truly an ingenious work of love, with 5 stages of such beautifully animated and rich interactive sections, it makes it difficult to put into words. From what I could gather with my tepid Spanish skills, El Semillero is essentially an elite design school that is responsible for filling up many of the open positions in Spanish speaking advertising agencies across the world. It’s really worth checking out every section completely, as each area has its own fantastic elements. And don’t miss the gallery of selected ads campaigns, with some of their fabulous minimalist advertising which are all art works in their own right. Outstanding!
