Be there comrade

Four poster execution aesthetically enhanced by a great use of typography for the Beluga Bar of Mumbai's Intercontinental Hotel, India; this copy-based campaign has been conceptualised and designed by IBD Hakuhudo Percept, Mumbai.
The ads seem to target the yuppie new Indian elite who love to play the "gauche caviar" card, but with money to spend, who cares about politics!
To paraphrase the popular 80s show "lifestyles of the rich and famous" motto "Vodka wishes and caviar dreams!"

The copy reads:
"The Vodka and Caviar Evenings. From 22nd August - 30th Sept, '08.
At Beluga. Be there comrade."

Out of the (X)box campaign

XBox 360, the console that needs no presentation, is using ecstatic-frenetic, acid-dripped designs in a new, multi-platform Austrian campaign.
As a result, four art pieces with luscious graphics were created (A1 size posters). Additionally, the artworks are used for various forms of advertisement (Promos, ad events, campaigns, retail) within Austria.
Eric Chan (aka Eepmon) narrates on his blog, " Lets go back to several months ago. I was contacted by Thomas Kritsch, marketing director representing XBox 360 Austria who was interested in getting me on board for a collabo."

The collaboration involved XBox 360's 4 themes for their upcoming campaign that will be used throughout the rest of summer and fall of '08 in Austria. " I was given the honourable task to create the branding for XBox 360's 4 themes (Blockbuster Games, Music, Sports and Family)," explains Eepmon. "What a honour it is to be part of the XBox 360 experience. I am very pleased as how the pieces turned out. Every time I look at the 4 posters side-by-side, I look back at all the work I have put into this and to see it finally manifested into the physical brings an extreme satisfaction."

A definite out of the Xbox campaign, effervescent and jolly illustrations for one of the most must-have console games.

Haven't we had enough? Democrats '08.

Multiple-award-winning ad exec Rich Silverstein of Goodby, Silverstein, and Partners creator of the "Got Milk?" campaign and the Budweiser frogs, partnered with The Huffington Post to create a poster series for the democratic party.
The posters really speak for themselves, as the typographic layout conjures up powerful images and associations no one could have missed out on.

When Arianna Huffington asked Silverstein to blog about his ideas, he said that since he usually expresses himself best in visual terms, he wanted to see if he could "blog visually."

Featured are the outcome of Silverstein juicy witty brain: three powerful posters.

"Here is my thinking," Silverstein explained. "What if we could TiVo the last six-plus years and play them back - without comment -- for the American people, and let them connect the dots? It's not a pretty picture."
Silverstein's take away message is uncluttered and direct: "Haven't we had enough? Democrats '08."

Moreover, people were invited to rewrite the posters by adding to the names, events, and slogans in relation to what is suggested in these visuals.

Ideally, said Rich, "the final versions might be three feet long. Given the outrages of the last six-plus years, even that might not be long enough."

Haven't the Democrats won the elections battle already?
Well, with such a mind-blowing communication, I say to the American President, you'd better run away or die...

I LUV PARIS

Ad by BETC Euro RSCG - Paris for the eco-friendly Peugeot 307 HDi

Peugeot is just one of a number of automobile firms which are working on green technology.
Peugeot 307 HDi behaves like a petrol-engined car in terms of performance, emits less CO2 than an equivalent diesel and delivers mind-boggling fuel economy.
Car manufacturers are advertising heavily to attract buyers to start opting for hybrid cars.
This visual is quite creative but it is certainly not a sufficient reason to encourage consumers to pick cars that are seen difficult to fill up, drive and maintain - and expensive to buy.
