Sex is No Accident

So MTV is running some new print ads for safe sex.

"Sex is no accident.

Always use a condom."

Creative Christmas Ads

Try and be good, at least with colours.

Even Santa needs a break – so why not the day after Christmas. Have a break. Have a KitKat. All you need is a comfortable red armchair, a light stand and somewhere to put your beard away.

"Our Christmas present for you: 75 Euro bonus if you buy a set of snow tires". The Print Ad titled Christmas tree was donated by Mercedes-Benz in Germany.

We're so in the mood for Christmas

Origami Christmas tree ball made out of newspaper, with a special advertisement for Christmas.

This Christmas all readers of the Almere Vandaag get an extra present. This free morning newspaper for all Almere residents gives away due to this festivity an origami Christmas tree ball made out of newspaper. You have to fold it yourself, of course. Gladly, the Almere Vandaag also provides the readers with a 2-steps folding instruction for beginners. So it's not complicated and you'll enjoy building it.

Do you see the person in the picture?

Absolut ads are always great!

Don't let irresponsible driving wreck Christmas

I love this subtle image from Playboy!

Merry Christmas to all construction workers

THE SAME PLEASURE SINCE 1715

Via NotCot: Love these french ads for Martell XO that i ran into on I Believe in Adv. Such a fun concept to show that it’s “The same pleasure since 1715”, having the more modern day scene reflect the world in the painting from the 1700s! I supposed the question is did they take it too far? or not far enough? Part of my wishes in the paintings, there would be a painting of an even OLDER time with the same scenario inside… or that the dresses and suites were matching in color… though that might just be because of the girl in the pink dress matching… and a guy in a red suit might be a bit much! See the second ad, as well as close ups of the paintings!

American Apparel Ads *NSFW*

Wow! All I can say is WOW!!

I can't believe American Apparel can get away with running these ads!

So the other day I noticed the next image, after the jump, and loved the model's derrier. (Kind of reminded me of my GF's lovely tuckus!) Anyways, the ad appeared in the back of The City Paper, and so I went to look for the image online, and was astounded to find so many almost porn images that have appeared in numerous other ads.

Play a Tune with Half Naked Women!

Oh I could play this all day!! Especially the A, D and F notes!

Via: This is the Cup Size Choir, seven angels in lingerie singing seven notes at your command. They lie down, breathing sensually, waiting for you, ready to play Deck the Halls or whatever Christmas carol you want.

At the end of the exquisitely filmed short you will be able to play the Cup Size Choir yourself, using the ASDFGHJ keys—which, coincidentally, is exactly the noise I made when I discovered this site, made by Italian lingerie company La Senza. You can even record your performance and send it to your mom.

Bernard Magri, one of the creators, explained how they created the videos:

We filmed the girls on a bed with a guy holding them on his back. Then, as soon as the countdown got to zero, the guy ducked down and the girl sang. Pretty low tech, but it worked!

I worked on the design and looping the videos to fit in the interactivity and a developer friend of mine did all the Flash. Hopefully, it would work well so we start working on non flash versions for non flash supporting devices!

Exactly. Let's all make this popular so La Senza has to make a free iOS and Android app out of it.

NSFW Ad

NSFW = Not Safe For Work

Great advertisement for AIDS awareness. The concept is timeless! ;)

Scrabble Ads

I just found these clever ads online and wanted to share.
About as clever as it's gonna get advertising for a game based on words. Ogilvy, an ad agency out of Hungary, recently developed this campaign for Scrabble that plays with how we develop words out of mixed letters. Good stuff.

1800 Bottle Design

1800 Tequilla is having a little contest that I just entered. They have a limited edition set of bottles that are designed by artists from all over, and they're offering a chance for the top 5 submitted artists a chance to have their work displayed on a bottle, with the number one winner receiving $10,000 smackers.


At 1800® Tequila, we are dedicating to showcasing the most cutting edge artists in the world - art and artists who are Essential in creating the most exciting modern work. We are after artists who, like 1800® Tequila, make it their goal to Follow Their Own Path. Once a year, we hold the Essential 1800® series where one winner will have his/her work featured on a prominent billboard in the arts district of the major city from where they reside. In addition to this, 1800® Tequila will provide the winner with a $10,000 cash prize to help further their career. The judging panel will be made up from members of the family who own 1800® Tequila and the 1800® Tequila management.


I figured I would throw my hand in, and give it a try. I submitted these three pieces.

You can cast your vote, by going to the 1800 website and browsing the gallery until you see the bottles below and giving them 5 stars.

(The secret is to look me up alphabetically, in the "R" section go to the last page and scroll backwards a few pages. Last I looked I was on page 19 of 21)

If you click the images above, you'll get a bigger view of them.

Ooooh, and it looks like you can even purchase one of my custom 1800 tequilla bottles for only $475.00 + shipping. 1800 is using a company called Kaleidoscope, for this.

**Edited: Just changed the title of the blog, because somebody actually noticed my blog! COOL!! :)

We are working with 1800 Tequila on their new Essential Artists campaign and noticed your site’s coverage. Would you mind changing that to 1800 Tequila?

Disney Magic

Annie Leibovitz interpreted several of Disney's iconic characters in this series of photos.

Where You’re The Fairest Of Them All
Rachel Weisz as Snow White

I found these on Miss Geeky's blog, where she has this to say about the pieces:
These photos from Annie Leibovitz are just stunning. They belong to the Dream Portrait Serie, an advertisement campaign from Disney featuring celebrities as traditional Disney characters. The first three images came out in January 2007, the second batch of three in October 2007 and the latest four came out [the end of January 2008].

Where Dreams Run Free
Jessica Biel as Pocahontas

Where Imagination Saves The Day

I just picked my favorites to display here, the rest of the series is posted on Miss Geeky's blog.

Water Dress

I just love watching this commercial. I keep trying to get it to go in slow motion so that I might be able to see something. Yeah I'm a guy, so sue me! ;) Seriously though this is a great visual idea.



From Albotas:
This new campaign for Mattoni Water is proof that hot chicks can sell anything by wearing next to nothing. Especially if said hot chick is Gisele Bundchen. [Via Space Invaders]

Ad Agency Promo

I just found this so fascinating. From a link on the Drawn! blog:

The creation of an illustration promo
Australian illustration rep, The Jacky Winter Group, has posted a fantastic blog post detailing the six month process of how they put their latest massive promo together, from concept to completion: Six Months of Promo in Pictures. It’s a great behind-the-scenes look at how an illustration agency puts together an involved promo. Such perfect attention to detail!

New Mythbusters Promo

I just came across this new promo for one of my favorite shows. Just got to love the visuals!

Pepsi Ads

Found the above ads from one inspiring website, which led me to another. I definitely plan to check both of them out more often.

And here's a few more Pepsi ads that I found amusing.
