This ad for Spuk stock images is all about seeing the unseen (as suggested in the tag line). They have been clever and taken 2 iconic images; The Beetles Abbey Road and Marilyn Monroe Steam grate from the film Seven Year Itch. They then took these photos as inspiration and looked at unseen angles of the photos so for the Beetles it was an overhead shot and for Marilyn Monroe it was under the steam grate. 



I chose this add purely for the amazing illustration. The tag line is 'Driven by History'. The illustration includes images from American History including; Statue of Liberty, Martin Luther King and Marilyn Monroe. They have kept the colours simple opting for Red, White and Blue. A really nice piece. 




Gaga's Workshop Digital Campaign Case Study



A Video showing how social media can attract people to a brand/company. In this case its Barney's New York. They created a whole floor dedicated to Lady GaGa. To create a buzz about GaGa's workshop they enlisted the help of an agency that could create a campaign for social media to help draw attention to the project, which is exactly what the agency did.

The Blackpool Comedy Carpet. Blackpool is famously know for its comedy, hundreds of comedians perform there. As homage to comedy in Blackpool this piece of art was installed. The piece includes famous quotes and sayings of some of the comedians and performers who have performed in Blackpool
people such as; Bruce Forsyth, Morecambe and Wise and my personal favourite Dame Edna Everage.




  








An ambient media / adshel piece for the TV show Pan Am. The show revolves around the crew of the airline Pan Am in the 60s. In the 1960's the cabin crew of Pan Am were seen as the most glamourous crew in the world. This ad incorporates both adshel and ambient media. I like how the agency decided not to put an image of the uniform but to actually put the uniform in between the glass. Clever. People can then look at the uniform in all its glory. 





British Airways doing something clever with their window blinds. The first one is advertising BA flights to Dublin, I like the simplicity of both the ads. Just by pulling the window bling down a little it resembles the Irish favourite a pint of Guinness. The one underneath is advertising Club World which is BA's first class. Club World has lie flat beds. Again it was just a case of pulling the window blind further down to resemble 2 tired eyes. Simple but so clever.



Ad for Hoover hoovers. Although I wouldn't suggest doing what it says I think its a clever ad. If it wasn't obvious from the image they're are saying that their hoovers are extremely powerful just as powerful as being sucked out of an aircraft window. Really simple but really clever.
