“Lady Gaga is actually coming into Metro’s headquarters in London (albeit followed by cameras) to help with production. In addition to editing/writing a feature, Gaga will comment on stories throughout the issue and contribute sidebars.

Metro announced that Lady Gaga will guest-edit all of their international editions on May 17th. In her role as the global editor-in-chief, Gaga will highlight issues related to equality and individuality, provide comments on the breaking news of the day and select stories for Metro’s editions in 20 countries from the London office of Metro World News.

Recently we posted Samsung 3D Projection On Historic Building. A projection interacted with the historic architecture of the Beurs van Berlage, creating a spectacular 3D visual and audio experience for those present.
Great idea, great experience. But it doesn’t end here as Samsung released a YouTube page take-over, which recreated the experience again in a full page.
After the start of the video, the whole page starts cracking open, just as in the 3D video, a countdown starts and a scoreboard ticks away as you capture as many of the 3D butterflies as possible. If you submit your score you can win a Samsung TV.
For the first time ever, Irish Heineken fans can personalise their very own bottles of beer on http://www.heineken.ie. To celebrate the launch of ‘Your Heineken’, Heineken is using buildings in Cork, Galway and Dublin as blank canvases to showcase local creative talent.

The winning designer will then be given their very own part of Dublin, Cork or Galway, to recreate their design on a landmark building in one of the three major cities.
Log onto facebook.com/Heineken to design your own creation or browse the entries and vote for your favourite.
