Quit Smoking?
After those guys or girls or whoever had all that success with PostSecret (they’ve published 3 books), where ordinary cool people like us can submit their most intimate secrets for publication on the blog, there’s a new similar service online now.
The Art of Quiting Smoking is a Dutch website which asks visitors to contribute a quit smoking message in the most interesting way they can create. This is actually just fun - I don’t neccessarily think that it will be effective in helping or motivating anyone to quite smoking, because we all know smoking is addictive and all. But it’s still quite a cool idea, so check the site out.
Here’s a few previews:
Make the healthy choice
Anyone fancy a burger, hotdog or a pizza? Aah, come on, we all know it’s cool to love junk food…!?
Anyway, above is a new ad campaign created by an Egyptian Ad Agency for Danone. Tagline is to make the healthy option and we must say that they back this up well with their graphics. But unfortunately, although the concept is a great idea, their suggested “food” items, look a bit gross. It just doesn’t look as enticing as a proper burger or slice of pizza. But again, I laud Danone and the ad creators for their creativity - this ad is definitely well thought out!
These cops won’t catch you speeding
From Advertising/Design Goodness:
A driver from a distance will see a police car hiding behing a billboard, as the police typically do in Turkey/ thus the driver instinctively slow down or make sure that they are going at the legal speed limit. When they come closer they are able to read the billboard text:
Pay your traffic tickets on time without waiting in line - isbank.com.tr
However just as they pass the billboard they will realize that there really isn’t a police car hiding there. That actually is a full size reproduction of a police car which is a part of the billboard.
Popcorn anyone?
These are some awesome slow-motion videos of popcorn actually cooking and exploding. Doesn’t anything just look so much cooler in slow-motion? Anyway, we like the fact that you can really see the massive transformation from the corn kernel to the end product you put in your mouth.
The videos are only 13 seconds in length, so it a must watch!
