anchor butter : made by cows
chi commissioned illustrator paul Slater and hand lettering artist alison carmichael to work with designers dan beckett and suzie hydon to create the ads - which all hark back to a time when advertising slogans were painted direct onto the walls of buildings in towns and cities. the idea is that this old style helps reinforce the fact that the anchor has been producing butter since 1886 - which was the golden age of hand painted wall mural advertising.

fail harder
what a beautiful piece of work at w&k portland, created by wieden & kennedy 12. over 100,000 thumb nails were used and it took over 351 hours, but it just goes to show if you try hard enough, and keep going, you can make something exceptional.

dixons : the last place you want to go
m&c saatchi, london, have created an unusual, and honest print campaign cheekily acknowledging the consumers pattern in shopping (we will get advice about expensive goods at a more upmarket store, but then nip online to make the actual purchase, where it is alot cheaper). using familiar fonts from a number of popular london retailers – selfridges & john lewis shown here, the ads open with a description of the benefits of shopping in these stores, before then reverting to the dixons font with the line "then go to dixons.co.uk to buy it". the self-harm/awareness continues with the ads' tagline, which is "the last place you want to go". i wonder how long it will take for selfreidges, john lewis, harrods and the rest to reply to these ads? my moneys on selfridges.
