Ad of the Day: Amnesty International (print)
Now this is not something one comes across every day: it’s a campaign for turning in your gun. Simple and very, very effective: structured like a labyrinth, with the gun at the centre of it and the message: “The game ends when they find it. Save a life, give your gun. Disarming house campaign stop. Act. Denounce.” This one made [...]

Two of the many ads in the “Get a word view series”. As always, subtle and to the point – and I’m loving the Economist red that make the ad so very distinctive.

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Thursday, October 15, 2009
I don't think there are many words to describe this. Just heartbreaking. The agency is Casanova Pendrill NY, and they specialise in Hispanic Communications.

Monday, October 12, 2009
Indian advertising series for Omax wide-angle lenses; not exactly an original idea - it's been done before by Yahoo for 360 degree search - but it's cool nevertheless, if for nothing else at least for the eye candy :).

Sunday, October 11, 2009
This series is really awesome – the idea is that early detection examination for prostate cancer no longer takes place where it would be expected. A simple blood test in the crook of the arm suffices. Very simply and efficiently realised. Thong Slip

Sunday, February 8, 2009
I know this has been done before (see the references at the end of this article), but I really feel like talking about monochromatic, in particular black&white logos and symbols and how beautifully and meaningfully they can create an instantly recognisable identity for brands, companies and concepts.
