YouTube - The Making of “Street With A View”

If sex sells, then the ultimate test would be organ donation. Of course, it’s not something you can easily claim false advertising with if you die and your organs are harvested to

There’s nothing more inspirational than this organic look at a software program. When I first started doing computer graphics in 1991, mostly because I did not know how to draw or paint, I was
lambasted for not partaking in “real art.” Seventeen years later, this ad vindicates me. Computer graphics has, in many ways, created more artists than there were traditionally. New tools like
Photoshop awaken the creativity in everyone - not just those blessed with the ability to draw a straight line by hand. This ad plays upon that notion perfectly – intentionally or not.

A novel experience - getting a free caricature drawing and finding an ad on it. Personally I would keep it and I think from an experiential point of view it’s worthwhile, but to me it seems like the cost of each engagement might be a bit high. Especially if you have people outside of the target market asking to be drawn, and you must be polite, you’re talking only a handful of people per hour that you’re reaching.

Not so, thank to Trident, who branded safety lights on steps with lit up smiles.

Pepsi always brands itself as youthful, but what gets lost in the commentary is the fact that Pepsi drinkers are not necessarily young, but young at heart. And what’s
the ultimate youth fantasy that everyone aspires to? Well, I think we’re seeing it right here. Especially since I’m sure every lifeguard must be soooo bored with the
beautiful damsels in distress washing up on shore all the time. If that were my job I’d take some sugared water too…
