Let there be light.

August 23rd, 2011   |   Posted by

I love lamps. They’re great aren’t they? You need light…hey presto! there it is at the press of a button or flick of switch. Marvellous I’m sure you’ll all agree. You know what else I love? Ducks. Love em’, the little feathery bundles of joy. Especially when they’re served with pancakes, hoisin sauce and those strips of cucumber and spring onion. Delicious. I’ve often sat alone in the dark wishing I had my two loves smashed together into some horrendous Frankenstein’s monster; a terrifying conglomeration of feathers and shadow-casting light.

Well…thank God for artist Sebastian E then. Thanks Sebastian, my world is now complete.

Check out more marvels from Sebastian after the break…

Find all your problems…

A beautifully shot and (in a couple of the executions) beautifully post-produced campaign for Mammadaba Latvia State Forests by MOOZ. Simple and direct but the lush photography and the 3D / Photoshop work really sell the idea. Some are better than others (the RUSH one is my favourite) but even so, the headline is a winner…top stuff. See all after the break…

Sex sells, you monkey.

June 29th, 2011   |   Posted by

We all have to eat; you, me, fish, butterflies, birds etc. Well, monkeys have to eat too but therein lies the problem: just ‘what’ should they eat? As their lords and masters, we must defiantly force nature to take a back-seat and demand that these primates do as they’re told, eat what they’re told…and possibly even ‘wear’ what they’re told. But let’s not go down that road.

It’s unsurprising – in this world ruled by advertising campaigns for everything from scented nappies to sex toys that double as DIY tools for any tricky situation – that the human race is now hell bent on finding new and improved ways of getting other animals to buy into brands.

What Willy Wonka would have done.

When is a chocolate website more than just a chocolate website? When it’s a chocolate website.

Sagres, Portugal’s leading beer brand, recently brewed a new product: Sagres Preta Chocolate, a chocolate flavoured stout beer. They then challenged their digital agency to come up with something equally as original to promote it. What they came up with is as close to genius as I can think of.

The new rulers of the world.

June 17th, 2011   |   Posted by

It has been said that if cats were able to do the things that humans could, then the mixture of this along with their intelligence, cunning, sense of superiority and aloofness would allow them to take over the world and we’d all be relegated to sleeping in the garden and doing tricks for the entertainment of our new feline masters.

Well…the end is quite probably nigh.

Coke waves goodbye to landfill.

April 20th, 2011   |   Posted by

So Coca-Cola is bad for you, is it? Well, there’s always a positive for every negative, now isn’t there? So some people may moan that it’s bad for your insides and rots your teeth…but on the flip side of the coin it is really good for ‘actually’ cleaning coins and it does marvels for getting rid of stains in your toilet as well. So, the prospect of legions of toothless kidz running amok on the streets with foul breath and bad digestion has definitely been wrapped in a comfy blanket with a tasteful silver lining there I think we’d all agree.

However, Coke isn’t resting on it’s laurels as purely a head-on competitor to Domestos, oh no…now they’re taking on the insidious and evil bits of chipboard and laquered steel all shoppers fear…that’s right, The Display Stand.

Read on to see some real environmental good being put into action by a company that most people would believe didn’t give a toss about the environment. Oh how they’ll all be regretting that belief…

Predator: The Camera that Learns.

April 5th, 2011   |   Posted by

This is absolutely ASTOUNDING. it’s a long video (4:12) so if you have the attention span of a 6yrd old after drinking a Mountain Dew, then skip to 1:04 and watch the world of tech get one step closer to Minority Report.

fLOOPing Brilliant

Hot Wheels…we all remember them, and if we don’t…then, umm…well, we don’t. We were probably doing something a lot more interesting with our day. I’d hazard a few guesses but one likes to keep things family friendly don’tcha’know? Anyway, here’s a little bit of loveliness from Oglivy & Mather on a Bogota motor-way in Colombia. How they did it and other installations from Hot Wheels inside the break…

Play-OrlanDoh.

March 10th, 2011   |   Posted by

Just came across this neat little bit of sculptural squidgyness. We all remember messing around with Play-Doh as kidz; hours spent amongst open tubs of various coloured (flavoured?) nonsense trying in vain to make a dinosaur but always ending up with something phallic instead of prehistoric. Well, General Motors have decided to go all touchy-feely for the marketing of their all new Chevrolet Orlando, and have opted to use 1.5 tons of Play-Doh to make us think of those Halcyon days when our parents screamed from the open bedroom doorway at the sight of our Triceratops that resembled something more usually found in the window of Ann Summers…

Hot n’ Wholesome n’ Genius.

January 18th, 2011   |   Posted by

Is there any better way to feel warmed on a blisteringly cold early morning, than to be confronted by the sight of some hot buns huddled in a bus shelter? Of course there isn’t…it was a rhetorical question…

Burn Baby…Burn.

December 15th, 2010   |   Posted by

Now I’m not one to go all goo-goo-ga-ga over cars, to me they’re purely a way to get me from A 2 B, or not..as the case can often be. Because of this I’m not attached to any particular brand, style or seat covering, but one thing I do quite like is car advertising. Yes..I’m well aware of how terrifyingly sad that last part was, thank-you very much.

BMW recently visually attacked some German cinema-goers; armed only with a large cut-out of three letters and one jigga-ginormous studio flash light they literally burnt their brand right into the back of the viewers eyes to quite stunning effect…ha! Stunning…did y’see what I did there? Huh?! Watch the video…it’ll make sense. Won’t make it funny, but it will at least make sense.

smart Little buggers, aren’t they?

smart car. Really smart idea.

BBDO Toronto came up with this truly awesome bit of ambient advertising to promote the smart car’s ability to park anywhere in a busy city environment. Click the photo to see the poster used to promote the ambient installation.

Fall in love…with this brochure.

August 5th, 2010   |   Posted by

We recently completed the design of a super high specification brochure to promote weddings at the Taj Hotels in London.

It’s not that often a client gives you a free reign on luxury finishings for printed marketing material, so this was a particularly nice job to work on. As a luxury five star hotel group, any Taj marketing material has to ooze quality therefore this brochure was not only printed on gorgeous, multiple stock but has fold-outs, embossing, foiling, high quality photographs etc…

Unfortunately the project didn’t include visiting their hotel in the Maldives. Maybe next time! Have a look …

Careful…now they’re watching you.

July 21st, 2010   |   Posted by

Back in April I posted about interactive billboards from IBM. Back then they only recognised colours, but I pondered on where this could go. In fact, here’s exactly what I pondered all those long months ago: “…but seeing as it’s all driven by software, the possibilities are endless. Imagine using facial recognition software to decide whether the ad is being viewed by a male or a female and then displaying a different, gender-specific message?”
Well…the time for pondering is over…

Jaws, jaws, jaws.

July 14th, 2010   |   Posted by

Another nice bit of work here, this time a bit more brash than DEVIL, but equally as cool (especially if you’re into movie posters like me). This beautiful domestic one sheet for Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D pays direct homage to Joe Dante’s original ’78 film and Steven Spielberg’s Jaws. If you feel inclined to watch people in bathing costumes get eaten by fish, you can check out the trailer at the movie title link above.

The Devil’s in the details.

Beautifully simplistic yet killer execution for the first official movie poster of the new film DEVIL, produced by M. Night. Shyamalan.
