Star Wars Typography

Came across these cool Star Wars heads made from typography. Not something that exactly follows the rules of a word processor, but nonetheless rather fun!

Aviva

The usual Paul Whitehouse brand of Aviva adverts are usually nothing to write home about. I wasnt prepared for this one though. Quite sensitive and gets a nice yet important message across. The clue was he was holding only 3 passports!

Black Swan Posters

Last night I went to see Tron Legacy (which was amazing!) and saw these posters on my way out. They took me back to Art in college when for some reason, I was working around Nazi era propaganda posters. These posters look awesome basically.

St Johns Ambulance - Popcorn

Cinema adverts are good because they're big and you usually get to stuff your face shamelessly as you watch them. This new cinema spot from the St. Johns ambulance really jumps out though from the norm.

It features a family all lovely and happy about to watch a film, and prepping some popcorn. Then as the little girl eats some popcorn, she starts choking. Critically unaware of what to do, the mother pleads with daughter in her arms for somebody to help. It's then that a seemingly random viewer in the audience yells "I can help!" before leaping into the film and using first aid to save the girl.

It could easily be real to that audience as anybody there could choke on popcorn. Fun might not be the appropriate word, but a clever use of cinema advertising nonetheless!

Karl Bloody Pilkington.

This man. I like this man. He's quite funny. He's funny for his irreverent view on things and basic Mancunian nature. I was a bit surprised to hear his voice on the new Freeview plus adverts though as that doesn't really seem to be his 'bag'. He couldn't even be arsed promoting one of his own books!


But I think he works on an advert thats targeted at getting people unfamiliar with mod-cons like TV recording devices. "If a sloth sounding man can explain this to me, then it's not that hard!" might indeed be the thought process of somebody watching. Either way, it's tons better than the silly Freesat one's that are (for some reason) set in a spacestation!

Jamie Woon - Night Air

This song has been soothing me on these dark nights home from work. Switch it on and feeeel!

Personified Cars. It's always messed up.

This is a proper awesome spin on their old infamous ad for the Skoda Fabia. It's not such a bad idea seeing as how popular it was. A mean old advert this is. Similar idea to the old Ford Ka idea which also weant along the meaner evil route. It showed a Ka's sunroof beheading a curious car. Heavy Stuff I know. Not too sure I ever saw the latter in the mainstream though!
