What with all the Flu going around these days, it seems fitting to showcase some virus based advertising.
Over the years, Greenpeace have done some truly brilliant stuff. I was thinking about them the other day and so I went on a bit of a hunt and chanced upon the following from Shanghai J&J Advertising Co. Ltd. The lines don’t translate well [they're above each image inside] but the message still comes across to us English speaking types.
Wonderful idea this, really gorgeous visuals with a nice sucker-punch to them. True, the concept is a bit of a stretch and I’ve read some reviews of these online from designer types that have taken the whole thing far too seriously and moaned about how mother nature doesn’t in fact create viruses to get revenge on human beings…but then, there is no such thing as Mother Nature…so I’m not really sure what they’re all getting so worked up about? Some people should just enjoy themselves more.
Due to the size of the images, I’ve added a detail to each so you can see what I mean…
