The Power of Paranoia.

My friend stumbled upon this wonderous little pic, though not a piece of work by a student, it does to me prove to be effective. Comments.

Boca Burgerama

This campaign for Boca Burgers was done by Luke Behrends (CW) of VCU AdCenter. It's a highly subjective industry, and despite the fact that a campaign like this would likely get shot down at my own school (as a marker comp) I love them.

They're funny, they're unexpected and they're very well written. Thoughts on "avant-garde" styles of execution. From your personal experiences, what is it like to present an idea like this in its early stages?

Alternative Transfers

This alternative media piece was done by Eric Li (AD) of the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in Singapore. It's very smart, its quick and interactive. But will the scratch off execution soon be "I've seen it before" territory?

How to Resume

How should you do a creative resume? This is Amr Assaid's (University of Texas at Austin) resume. Thoughts on what CD's, HR people and whoever will be looking for in a creative person's resume? Should art directors or designers have more of a beautifying touch than writers?

Orbit This

Bored of yet another student ad? Here's some recommended reading. Gordon McKenzie's Orbiting the Giant Hairball is an excellent not really about advertising book, that deals with creativity and its role in a corporate setting.

Perhaps even our own "creative" schools become a bit hairballish. McKenzie's lessons will help keep you in orbit if you find that to be the case.

The South African Contingency

This Nintendo DS print single was done by Alexi McCarthy nominee for Archive's student of the Year award out of AAA School of Advertising in Cape Town. The campaign won a silver at the 2007 Loerie Awards.

Duracell

These Duracell ads were done by Jon Tate(AD), graduate of The Creative Circus. Not a headline, not a visual solution--all smart, simple and hard to beat. Thoughts on the campaign.
