Tiji TV – Imaginative As Children

marekule — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 20:59:50 +0000

I forgot where I found it but it’s worth viewing. It is a commercial I just saw, but I think it came out last year in a campaign to television Tiji France. And as his campaign says “As imaginative as children,” I agree completely. While this advertising is worth the quality of the animation and the music that accompanies it, a very good work.

And a little old, this set of posters is also worth a look. If you want to see bigger click on them.

Ads of The World – 360º

marekule — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 02:33:20 +0000

Crossing Adsoftheworld.com found this great poster advertising. It’s a company that makes knapsacks, but I am the great idea. I liked them all, but there is one who will not understand … a lot of ignorance. The best I think that is the last, the albino man. If youy want to see larger click on them.

And as always the credits:

Auditorium – FWA

marekule — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 00:00:41 +0000

Visit the “Favorite Website Awards, or FWA.com reaches a spectacular site, which besides having a good game design interacts with a visitor. It is a multi sensory experience, where to find the time, build the solution. With multiple ways to solve a level, and the music that accompanies every movement, becomes an unforgettable experience.

The website is Auditorium.com, although in page talk of a possible launch of a game, it would be the first to buy, have not given more information but what you can discover your page is a demo, worked very well and very creative too.

Super Bowl – Coca Cola

marekule — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:53:40 +0000

First of all, forgive me because i was lost will soon finish my vacation and I have to enjoy what little I have left. But don’t worry i not left you.

Today I bring two ads I found are coca cola and as many of your ads are spectacular. I don’t know if they are now transmitted television, but its purpose is to promote the brand in the super bowl. Now is the edition XLIII and who is not aware, this is the final match of the championship of the NFL, professional football league in the United States. Held the first Sunday in February, as a curiosity, half minutes of advertising costs about U.S. $ 2.5 million dollars.

This I liked most is that if you feel this is the reality, all with msn, and other blogs, but it will be done.

10 Masterpieces of Lego Sculpture

marekule — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:45:04 +0000

Since we are children working with these small pieces, and we were surprised how easy it was handled and the perfection of the structures that construct, if not, at least had good imagination. But very few have ever thought that it could be art in the rough. Several campaigns of Lego, trying to create figures, more than one will be seen homero or bender, but what I bring this time is an exhibition of 10 sculptures in Lego.

I love this work and of another artist who now can not find a reference, perhaps put it tomorrow. Is curious that if you leave aside the images of perfection, as if it were pixels.

If you want to see the show click on the picture you sent to Environmentalgraffiti.com who have made this top 10.

Heineken

marekule — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 01:00:12 +0000

It is true that some campaigns are good and I think that in the case of Heineken have never been bad. Surfing the internet, reaches the page adgoodeness. Very good indeed, is responsible for collecting all that is about advertising. But once I go through there and show them what we see, now watch this and then do not hesitate to go to the source.
