Not that often do I actually see outdoor commercials which offers me something extraordinary as a consumer. Usually they go by “bigger is better”, which Times Square is a brilliant example of, but this time in Santa Monica, California, they’ve taken on a new perspective on billboard advertisement. And I really like this little war they’ve got going.

They pictures below speaks pretty much for themselves.
Tsk tsk tsk… only in America.

Didn’t really know if I should just remove all tags and categories from this post or include each and every one of them!? As you can see, I decided on the last choice, because the Google Zeitgeist 2011 will probably inherit most of these terms.

From the rise of teenage YouTube phenomenon Rebecca Black to the death of Jackass superstar Ryan Dunn.
This is what influenced last year.

Less is more.
Simplicity is key in these great designs from a2591.com. They’ve taken numerous known brand packages and slimmed them down, removing as much as possible without removing the known product brand.

A while back I was inspired by quite a few meetings, which basically went wrong, because people didn’t know how to communicate and most of all – how to match expectations. The result was frustration from all participants and poor solutions.
This led to a comprehensive brainstorm on how to communicate, mediate and achieve success together with your clients, despite different points of view. Often times what happens is, two different worlds meet and then collide. Misunderstandings happens across the table, during inadequate briefs and other projects, because no one knows how to or understand how to communicate with people from other departments and cultures basically.

An IT-guy talking to a marketing manager is a disaster waiting to happen – especially if they have to invent something useful together! So inspired by the chaos, I made up this little film – just for fun!
