Blogless: Blog of Design Less Better.

Symbiosis

RONA's iPod Nano symbiote advertisement

I’m not sure this is intentional, but this ad can also serve the purpose as a funny and subtle jab at Apple’s well-known less-than-green design practices.

You're reading BlogLESS, a thrice-weekly blog about the ethics of advertising, branding, design, social media and business. We are also fans of zen, although this itself is perhaps not so zen.
