Minimalist Lego Cartoon Characters



Minimalism goes a long way. In this new series of Lego ads by German advertising agency Jung von Matt, we see simplistic representations of some of the most well-known cartoon characters. The Hamburg-based company's ad campaign titled Imagine features tiny towers of colored Lego blocks in each print. It seems abstract, but undeniably accurate in its color-blocking and size ratio in…

For the Love of the Game



What better equalizer is there than sports? And what sport unifies the world more than football (or what Americans call soccer)? Puma has just put out this fantastic video as a lead up to the South Africa World Cup. It's shot on location in Angola, Ghana and The Ivory Coast and soundtracked by ‘Going On’ by Gnarls Barkley.



"A celebration of true football. For Africa. For Football. For the insane love of the game we possess that unites us beyond borders.… Continue

McDonald's Ingenious Monopoly Free Parking Promotion



Now this is one creative idea! Using the same, minimal graphic elements as you'd see in the classic Monopoly game, McDonald's put up familiar signage and surprised commuters with free parking in lots across Western Canada. Why? To remind people that the Monopoly game is back at McD's.



Got to love the sign, "You've Just Landed on Free Parking" How awesome would it be to see that?

Madonna: New Louis Vuitton Ads - Fall/Winter 09 (5 pics)





New ads for Louis Vuitton and Madonna just surfaced that's taking Photoshop to the extreme. It's for LV's Fall/Winter 2009 campaign. Though we love the dramatic colors, we can't help but think that everything looks too overdone. You have to wonder if they're trying to knock down a few decades on Madonna.…
