Brief: Get men to buy pregnancy tests
When this ad first aired on television, I was all but shocked. I thought, surely this can’t be aimed at women? Make an already awkward situation even worse by turning into some kind of sci-fi thriller preview? As if being an alien incubator isn’t creepy enough or having to go buy one and take it [...]
Multiplicity: the good, the bad & the ugly
I have been engulfed for almost 24 hours (okay, I haven’t been awake for all of them) in an argument on Scamp‘s blog, between god knows how many people, regarding this ad for TfL (Transport for London). Basically, it was done by an agency called WCRS and can be viewed here. However, it has been [...]
Audi A4 – Can you unmask it?
I’ve only driven by the 48 sheet for this ad twice and they were in two different locations, so I’m not too sure if the type is just very light or if it somehow gets darker. I haven’t been able to find anything on it. Inform me! Update: I’m convinced they definitely do. I drove [...]

Decatpitation is the new Graffiti
flickr images by the decapitator Known as “The East London Decapitator,” an unknown artist has been lurking through the streets of London and cutting off the heads of characters seen in mainstream advertisements. -psfk.com I only wish I had seen these when I was down sarf (south). How utterly disturbing yet cool are these! One [...]
Brail League
“Blind see what they hear. Help them to see more. Braille League” I really like how this was done, using the letters in the words of the sounds to create the objects that make that sound. Also, the colours used and the texture used makes one want to reach out and touch the paper. Since [...]
