Advertising Branding etc. - Design, Advertising, & Branding

This was a wonderful find today. I first saw this mentioned over at qbn.com about Steve Wilson a really he’s an incredibly gifted & stylistically original illustrator. I just dug all of his wonderful vibrant colorful work. Hope you don’t mind Steve but they make one hell of a personal desktop Great work and if you like Steve’s work take a look at his shop he has a beautiful poster up of a bird in a similar look and feel.

Excuse me first for the vulgarity of this twisted Santa ad, It’s not like me to showcase these nutty images but it just happened to be the nicest image from the entire collection of spots I just placed in here. Enjoy 3 new ads that are way past over the top two of which for good reasons. I still don’t know why they had to go and axe santa ha, that’s making me go get my coffee. Happy holidays and I guess the message to take away from all of this is drive safely over the holidays.

I just enjoyed the photography and art direction of this Louis Vuitton Mini site and advertisement. It’s funny I am not sure how large of a run this ad will have in print, but it’s gorgeously designed for it and the interactive mini site is interesting filled with live content, maybe not the most easy to navigate but it is rich content.

We’re proud to launch our studio’s site this week, take a gander! Happy holidays everyone.

Finally a great TV spot to talk about. This may not air in America in this state but it’s a simple well thought out ad for Nike. The line ” Get to work.” leaves a lasting impression and I think the meaning of the message resonates.

Burger King has entered into arena where shame does not exist. The content is fairly flat no pun intended it’s just a mediocre work. That being said all of the elements are there to work. It’s just not art directed well, and it’s lame in my opinion.

Great illustration work found from Andy Council’s Behance site.

Have no idea who can take credit for this youtube movie mashup but it’s pretty funny.

This is an amazing futuristic project that will most likely effect the advertising in the near future and hopefully will help patients with limited mobility.
