Apple is advertising Coldplay's song "Viva la Vida", which is being sold at iTunes store. This is an awesome, colorful and moody commercial, awesome!

I just wish I knew who did this video... all I know, is that the person who did it, probably had some well known references, such as Chuck Anderson's work (you can check it at NoPattern). And the Abduzeedo crew really liked it, because it fits perfectly to Abduzeedo's theme. This commercial and song could actually be our theme song! Pretty cool, huh?

I'm constantely asking myself when we all get sick of those color overdose ... no trend is forever ... curiously looking forward to what is to come.

do you mean apple products or the design?

That was amazing.. I wouldn't say that it's inspired from Chuck Anderson though.. because if somethings inspired it means that that person has a style that is unique to them. I love his work but I just don't see the similarity from this videos lighting effects to his works. Would love to know who made this though.
