The Genius of Outdoor Advertising

Jun 09, 2007

Creativity coming to life in 3D.

I regularly checkout the adgoodness blog for some great advertising inspiration and more often than not the more ingenious solutions are played out outdoors. I guess because there’s such an open palette of objects and contexts to play with compared to the limitations of the more traditional avenues like magazine, newspaper or TV.
Here are a few great examples of creativity coming to life in 3D we just received in our email inbox. They all display a great use of their natural surroundings:

razor-billboard

smoking-bus

This one’s not technically outdoor advertising… or is it?

fedex t shirt

These definitely are!

Drew's degrees in Illustration, 2D animation and Broadcast Design, and his volleyball skillz mean he can get your design done and play well with others at the same time. He’s the Creative Director at Paragon and will call you out if you start hanging out with shady-looking fonts and messing around with whacked-out color palettes.

    Great pics. This was done by some advertising genuis. It’s simple, but extremely effective. The razor add will take some time maintaining.

    great advertising … a picture tells a thousand words (not that copy is unimportant, of course)
