Is simplicity the ultimate sophistication?

Post by amey katkar »

With how often each of us are online or using our mobile phones, you would think that print advertising is an antiquated artwork that no one pays real attention to. You’d be wrong, though. We found 27 of the most stunning or clever print ad campaigns out there. They are seriously impressive, even though they are completely static (unlike most of the ads we see online).

THIS is advertising.

I like the "Stronger Marriage" AD, it has some activity to do cut and rotate, this type of idea can engage the target audience, Simple & to the point.

and really SOME THINGS CANT BE COVERED - Eye tells the story...

Excellent ideas. I have seen the 'weight watchers' before. But generally this is so nice to see some good work happening.
