Canon on the street!
A really cool new guerilla innovation to promote the Canon S1 range of cameras. These days there's so much guerilla across the streets in every country the world over. I really don't see so much of it in India though! :( viaWednesday, October 11, 2006
Strip & Jump!
A really cool and funny idea for a Waxing Studio named Strip. The monkey in this ad brings along so much of the attitude to it. Good one from Batey Ads, Singapore!Title: Lake Client: Strip Waxing Studio >> Country: Singapore >> Agency: Batey >> Creative Director: Pablo Monzon >> Art Director: Mark Bamfield >> Copywriter: Ross Fowler >> via

Pay Less Books!
Agency: Lucideas >> Creative Director: Kelvin Long & Inky The Dog >> Art Director: Mohd Izmady Bin Md Isa >> Copywriter: Melissa Chan Nestea Plunge!
These ads for Nestea (a brand of iced-tea from the coca-cola company) have a really cool attitude and I'm sure it's an attitude that is going to rub off on the product too! Lovely headlines and some decent art...all in all, a really nice campaign.
A Marcello Serpa Interview!!
Elias Kouloures and his team of friends just interviewed Marcello Serpa from Almap BBDO! The legendary advertising genius from Brasil during his last visit to Germany. Log on to beers and ideas and listen to him as he rants about the industry, his time as a beginner and what underwear he prefers!!
There are 2 parts to the interview and I am sure most of you will enjoy this one as much as I did. Thanks for this one Elias! And for those of you who want more about Serpa, I found this amazing site where there is a lot more about the man himself!
Split Endz, Toronto!
These ads for split endz, a hair salon in Toronto might be a bit morbid for all of you to like it. I don't know the agency, if you do leave a comment. viaA Box Full of Blood!
A very interesting guerilla where the headline reads “Money is not everything. It saves three lives without spending a cent”. Created by M&C Saatchi and the winner of a Bronze Lion at the Direct Category at the Cannes this year. These boxes were installed at several spots across universities in Australia.FIAT Panda 4X4
Headline: “We should all get out of the city from time to time” >> Agency: Leo Burnett, Madrid! >> viaMonday, October 09, 2006
The Invisible Flowers by Clorox!
Over the advertising years, cleaning agents have used the transparency platform in various ways and degrees, each to demonstrate the cleanest clean. With Clorox Floral, we had to do that and more. Flowerbed positioned the New Floral scent to mimic the presence of real flowers, no matter where you are. So what if you can't see them. If you can smell them, they are there. The 'Do Not Step On The Flowers' sign treats flowers just the way they would be treated in their natural environment.

Open Till Midnight!
Hi-Style is a popular fashion store in Chennai, India that sells branded clothing for men & women, footwear, accessories, home furnishing, beauty products, etc. MADD Grads!
Last week we saw a few guerilla posters against drunken driving that were Calder Bateman Communications for MADD (Mothers Against Drunken Driving). Here's an ad that's as hard hitting and effective. The headline reads "don’t make it a grad to forget". Drunken driving amongst teenagers is a problem in almost every country...the more we see of these, the lesser the number of accidents and deaths, hopefully!Wine from Spain!
A very interesting looking campaign for Miguel Torres, a brand of Wine from Spain. What I do not know is why each of these ads use the grape branch to form Animals! What's the link between the wine, the grapes and the animals...can somebody who knows more Spanish or more about wine help here?

The Tuition - Corporate Identity
Khushbu Sanghi, a graphic designer and a friend of mine just designed these very cool and cute corporate stationary for a tuition teacher recently. I just love the idea here. Extremely memorable stuff!
Match-Making!
NZDating is a New Zealand internet dating site, which used busbacks to illustrate the fleeting nature of finding ‘your perfect match’. The bus routes were on a loop, so the message became clear whenever the buses were in close proximity to each other. From the minds of Art Director Tony Clewett, Copywriter Rob Banks and Creative Director Chris Hunter.

MOVIE GOING FOR DUMMIES by Quentin Tarantino
According to me, Quentin is "GOD" and his movies are his blessings...found this today at sceneone and I just could not resist posting it. Since all Ad Folk love movies so much, I was imagining you'd enjoy this too!
Wednesday, 20 September 2006
To me, movies are like a religion. They speak to me on every level. When I was a boy, I never had a father. Guys like Steve McQueen, Fred Williamson, Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson, Bruce Lee, Elvis Presley became my father figures. They developed me as a person.
Movies are an experience and like every experience, they must be savored. Watching a film on the big screen is the only way to watch a film as far as Im concerned. Forget DVD's, computers and all that other shit. Watching a film at home is too distracting. The world gets in the way and it's not an experience anymore. I love going to a dark, air conditioned, popcorn filled theater. Even cooler then that, watching a movie with an audience.
Not everyone feels the same way I do. Ever since Thomas Edison developed the projector, there have and will always be Sinners Of Cinema.
Let me break them down for you. Allow me to present, Quentin Tarantino's 7 Deadly Sinners Of Cinema.
1. "The Gabbers", you know the motherfuckers who will talk and talk through a whole movie. When Im at a film and somebody rambles on about BS, I'll usually tell them to shut the fuck up. There is a time and place to do shit and when Im at a movie, talking is not one of them.
2. "The Cell Phone Hacks" Hey, what's more obnoxious then talking at a movie?? Ringing cellphones of course. Turn that shit off, your fucking with my movie going experience. Annoying rings are even worse. If you ever hear a cellphone with Zippity Doo Da while your at a movie?? Do me a favour, snatch the phone, throw it on the floor and stomp it into a million pieces.
3. "The Baby Sitter's Club" Don't get me wrong. Kids are awesome, I might even have my own someday. Anyway, a few years ago I was in a theater in Van Nuys. I went to go see 28 Days Later. In the middle of the movie this kid no older then one, bursts out crying. At this point Im thinking, "Who takes their one year old kids to this kind of movie??" Take your little ones to Spy Kids 3, not a fucking horror flick!!
4. "The Max Cadys" Remember that scene in Cape Fear where Bob Deniro is laughing his ass off in the theater?? Okay, I love comedy and I love to laugh. I love people laughing in movies, but keep that shit down to a roar. It's taking away from my movie going experience.
5. "The Pseudo Siskels" As the old saying goes, "Everybody's a critic". Either before or after a movie, I always hear that person/persons try to critique a movie. When they do they mispronounce or mix up names. Example: "I didn't like Morgan Freeman in Kiss The Girls, but he did a great job in An Officer And A Gentlemen." Leave that to the film geeks, believe me they spend all their time and money on movies. Mispronounciation is blasphemy in the religion of cinema.
6. "Fan boys/girls" Every cult movie spawns fan people. Like the Trekkies or the The Star Wars fans. I actually like these people. It's cool to support your favorite films. But if your dressed like a Hobbit and get your ass kicked during the movie?? Guess what?? Your fucking with my movie going experience.
7. "Cinemaphiles or Cinema sluts" Do not ever mess with these people. They're dangerous, obsessive and dont like to be bothered. How do I know?? Because I'm one of them. These people count down the days on the calender, read articles, and usually catch the first screening on opening day. When they do finally make it to that movie, it's like a religious holiday. Forget Christmas, if they want to see that new Brian DePalma movie, they'll put in for request to have that day off.
So, my cinema friends, go to the movies and have fun. Give that film your full attention. Commiting cinema sins will defeat the purpose of seeing that movie. Do all the other shit after you seen the movie a couple of times.
