The Ugly Truth Poster

So I'm not sure if this movie will be any good, even though Gerard Butler is nice on the eyes...but I do like The Ugly Truth movie poster because the message is immediately clear. Words are unnecessary.

Where the Wild Things Are Trailer

I saw the Where the Wild Things Are trailer awhile ago and loved everything about the it, from the typeface to the music. It looks like the film will be a visual adventure, just like the book.

Go with Visa: First Global Campaign

Back in March, Visa with the help of TBWA\Chiat\Day, launched their first global campaign, "More People Go with Visa" changing from the previous , "It's everywhere you want to be." Morgan Freeman smartly remains their spokesperson, the always comforting voice of reason. I like both of the two commercials below because of the tone and the visual story. The first is in a pizzeria and shows the stylistic flair of an old school pizza-making joint, something you don't get from a chain restaurant. And I love Mambo Italiano as a backdrop. The second spot, features an aquarium visit and has beautiful color movement. According to a Visa press release, the global campaign reflects "the company's evolution to a single, global company" and now enables the brand to use one unified marketing tactic. Not only is this money saving for Visa, but it also reflects how Visa customers, (specifically in the U.S.) are cutting back, and being smarter about their spending.

What Goes Around Comes Around

These four posters were done by Big Ant International, for the Global Coalition for Peace. The images are designed to wrap around poles and campaign for an end to the war in Iraq. It is this type of creative that shows ideas must be pushed far outside the box to get the best results. The creative here is the design placement.
