HOW HETERO?: Analyze your photos on Facebook

howheteroisheWell, how hetero are your photos on FB?


Don’t be afraid, unleash from heteronormativity and show the world who you really are!

Photos are fetched from Facebook, we then measure the diversity and frequency of colors by analyzing specific points on the photo. Depending on how warm or cold each color is and how often it is used, we can compare the spectrum of the photo with global statistics to finally conclude how far the subject is from the HETERO norm.

HOW HETERO ARE YOU?

howhetero
For the Stockholm Pride Festival, River produced an announcement campaign for the 2009 theme named ”Hetero”. The objective was to build a campaign that reached a broader audience than the current. And to create an internet presence beyond the festivals official website.

Built around Twitter, the page analyzed keyword frequency to let users know how heterosexual their Twitter stream was, and helped them share the result with their friends. The campaign became viral and was visited 150,000 times in three days, and then nearly 300,000 times within the next couple of weeks bringing our app to the most used Twitter application worldwide.

A STRONGER EXPERIENCE

Skruf Stark WhiteSkruf wanted to go beyond the usual corporate web-presence. We set out to create message synergies and cross-functional content.

Skruf.se is using a 3-dimensional intuitive navigation. Built around Papervision3D, we invented the Dot Room and brought the audience smack-middle into Skruf’s dot-concept. It all boiled down to passive brand development through simple product portfolio presentation.

It’s pretty nifty!

JAW-DROPPING

Avatar“The Avatar footage is mind-blowing.”

The buzz has been out there for some time. As the count-down to December progresses, we are seeing increasingly more stuff from this hyped movie-event. It’s particularly pleasant to be working with Twentieth Century Fox this fall!

HEROES AT WORK!

Battlefield Heroes is a cartoon-style action video game developed by EA DICE. Heroes is the first Battlefield game to be released under Electronic Arts’ new Play 4 Free model.

BONNIER

Bonnier GRID 2009For Bonnier’s GRID event of 2009, River Cresco built an event site beyond the ordinary.

Participants got to tag themselves with attributes during registration which in turn generated a searchable tag cloud. A sort of fingerprint of the community was created, helping participants to find new business contacts. River was behind everything on this one: concept, concept design and development.

CHEER, GREET, FOLLOW OR SNOOP AROUND!
