Fashion Show with Google

The problem with shopping online is that you don't know how clothes are going to look/fit on you. That's why this ad by Robbin Ingvarsson & Waldemar Wegelin is so effective. “Fashion Show with Google” shows that you can do "more with Google" than you imagined.

Static Electricity Powered Light Show



Travis Britton, Creative Director at Cutwater, a San Francisco-based ad company, just sent over this hilarious video of the Static Wizard.
