This will screw up your eyes
Posted January 30, 2007
This Sony Bravia ad just makes you want to rub your eyes & grab some Aspirin (or Gravol for motion sickness). I like that it evokes a response. It’s titled, fittingly, Visual Effects. Agency is Euro RSCG Buenos Aires. Scooped from Beamo at Best Ads on TV

Nike Woman
Posted January 26, 2007
I came across this great Nike Woman website on Computerlove. Not only does the site have great design, but you can also design your own trainers — I designed the shoe to the left. I know that Vans was doing this long ago on their site, but it’s still pretty cool. Site design by RGA, illustrations by Andrezza & creative direction by Pablo Marques.

The Truth
Posted January 23, 2007
This new guerilla campaign for The Truth consists of ice sculptures, in the form of pregnant women, with toy babies in their stomaches. As the sculptures melt, all that remains are the babies on the ground. A placard next to the sculptures reads, “Over 30 children lose their moms to tobacco every day.” Agency: Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Scooped from AdHunt.
Creative Review – Blog & MySpace
Posted January 23, 2007
Not only does London-based Creative Review magazine have a blog, but they also have a great MySpace page where you can read about how Mother paid £15,000 to edit their February issue. Thanks to Gavin Lucas for letting me know.
Toyota Human Touch
Posted January 22, 2007
Here’s a wonderfully creative new ad for Toyota (love the whistle track). Scooped from Freddy at Advertising/Design Goodness.
Beep & Creak
Posted January 22, 2007
Toronto’s Head Gear Animation have just completed two very clever little spots for Recruit Ireland — Beep and Creak. Beep is directed by Steve Angel & Creak by Julian Grey. Agency: Chemistry, Dublin. The autograph on the Bella Lugosi picture in Creak is hilarious.
