Adios LA By Jon Jackson

I know this has been doing the rounds on the blogs, but for good reason. A great idea, similar to ESPO's Love Letters project, but this time the lovers are Jon Jackson and his beloved Los Angeles...

More Creative Advertising

This ad comes from Melbourne. It is for the Australian Childhood Foundation for their ongoing campaign "Stop Child Abuse Now". They used child size mannequins to represent children suffering neglect. The mannequins were placed in high traffic locations around the city and then a billposter was pasted over the top of the figure so only the feet and legs could be seen. Words on the poster read, “Neglected Children are made to feel invisible.”

Smart Street Art

They have proposed to build Podium, a 35 storey commercial building with a 100 metre tall LED screen on its exterior in the heart of Dubailand.

Rotofugi Commercial The Collectors

Great to see toys in the reverse role of vinyl toys being the 'collectors' instead of the 'collected'. Reminded me of those old Britsh Gas ads but with more contemporary characters being used. Well done Rotofugi; you have set the benchmark now.....
