—When I first saw these ads for the Art Directors Club I had to laugh, and then I had to share. It might not be as funny to some, but to those who know about fighting the "good fight" in marketing/advertising, these ads do us all some justice.
It feels really good to poke a bit of fun at some of the frustrating aspects of working as a professional creative. Things like design by democracy, wanna-be-cool clients, and catch-phrase strategists are just some of the things that drive us crazy. And the guys over at DDB New York have done a great job turning those insights into advertising that resonates. Kudos and enjoy!

At the forefront of digital advertising, Danish company ONLY jeans takes the idea of a lookbook and makes it uniquely interactive in a way that trumps all others.
What's worse than having bad breath? Getting publicly humiliated for it. Advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather Paris has honed in on that truth and used it as the centrepiece for this brilliant ad for Tic Tac France.
The only sad part about not having cable–at least for me–is that I miss out on a lot of commercials. Most of them are boring, mind-numbing pieces of you-know-what, but this work of art is nothing short of amazing.
Absolutely gorgeous visual identity work from Creative Director/Designer Ken Tsai Lee and illustrator Zhan Yu-Shu for the ADC Young Guns 8 exhibition in Taiwan.
