Advertising industry is getting more inventive and creative each day. They always try to get to our attention in every way possible: sometimes their efforts are meant to disturb you and stir emotion , other times they make all kinds of jokes and funny images. No matter what is the case, they intend to leave you touched and make you remember images and messages they sent you. These are marvelous examples of the most successful and creative ad campaigns. These will make you smile, cry or leave you intrigued but surely not lighthearted.
Suffering from over-weight ads:
“Obesity is Suicide” ad campaign:
Every 5th Child Obesity:
To see anorexic
Bringing up the issue of human rights:
In the spirit of past Olympic games: “Stop the world record for executions”
Another Olympic discipline, the archery:
It does not happen here, but now!
Child soldiers in Angola and other African countries:
Interesting information, I will be recommending
The heart of your writing while sounding reasonable initially, did not really work perfectly with me after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you actually managed to make me a believer but just for a very short while. I still have a problem with your jumps in logic and one might do nicely to help fill in those gaps. When you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely be impressed.
Gotta love it. Obesity and anorexia ads both.
Worst part? Check out the first three obesity ads, two male and one female. The first male has a double chin. The second male has a belly. The female… Looks completely normal.
Amazing ads!
One quip about one of the translations:
“Hier schützt man sich ja auch” (in the ad with the n*ked ice hockey players) does not mean “This protects you too!”, but “They protect themselves, too!”.
Right below the Support Eating Disorders ad is a Lose That Tummy In 3 Weeks ad. Lovely.
great imagination by the designers / visualizers.
its bring so much of information and awareness in such a innovative way..great job.
So when I saw the one about drunk driving with the children crossing the street, it took me a while to realize that they were shrunken rather than everything else being enlarged
It’s not the man in the street that is responsible for the hunger in the world. It are the shareholders of the big companies, the corrupt leaders in these countries and the people living there.
They should start Ad campaigns in those poor countries to persuade the people not having so much children when there is no work, not enough water or food. But that would be called politically incorrect.
all of the art was fantastic, but why so many guilt trips? why would you put so much effort into making your audience feel so BAD? there were a few simply awesome ones because they were more about awareness or promoting the cause (buckle up ads, partially lit billboard, autism bag) than making you feel like sh** for buying a beer. “brutally honest” = bad advertising. it’s hard to believe someone would try to make nuclear war and 9/11 pale in comparison to drinking water access too. I did a massive project on water in Niger, and the problems are financial, environmental and logistical, not because someone decided to drop an atom bomb on them.
this is really interesting post. i am happy to know that how harmful these things but no one care for it
Scariest, most powerful ad on the Internet:

mortis,
These men used drugs under (mostly) controlled circumstances. They were undoubtedly drug addicts, yes. But they were not “junkies” as the term is applied now – with sociopolitical meanings.
Definitely shocking, and the images stay with you…
I love how they are brutally honest.
This Amnesty International poster of a man ductaped to a tree (just above the child soliders) says (in Polish): “Free speech in Belarus”
good job ..locking..like
good job liking like /..
I really amaze with those pictures. Though some of it are shocking and unbelievable still I enjoyed.
“So something like “an old junkie” does not exist.”
LOL. Ever heard of William S. Burroughs (83)? Or Aleister Crowley (72)? Or ?
Its wonderfull, and its really make us to think also if possible I would like to creat campaigns like above
genius, pure genius!
“Criative & Grate”
Excellent image.Good work.
