Modern Mad Men

In anticipation of the beginning of Season 6 of AMC's Mad Men (stream an Inside Look for free now), Shutterstock turned its designers loose on marking the delta from Mad Men to Modern Mad Men.​

From the post:

Our designers set their sights on the main Mad Men characters with that in mind, choosing an everyday symbol from their daily lives and transforming it through a 21-century lens. While most of these folks would be doing very similar work today, the tools they use to get it done would be quite different. (Just imagine what Peggy could accomplish with a MacBook at her disposal.) Read on to see what a difference a half-century can make.

4 - A Million Unique Bottles of Absolut

"Absolut Unique" requires a total re-design of the Absolut Vodka's production process in Sweden. "Carefully orchestrated randomness," the process involves splash guns and color-generating machines with complex coating, pattern and placement algorithms to ensure that each bottle is absolutly (ha ha) unique.

We are proud to present ABSOLUT UNIQUE -- the new limited edition of nearly four million uniquely designed and numbered bottles, available now in airports across the world and with local vendors from October 2012. Hear the ABSOLUT UNIQUE team explain how this truly exceptional initiative came to life.
