Dove: Real Beauty Sketches

Dove really do have some nice adverts out there, and their latest is another to add to their selection. It gave me goosebumps, using a FBI sketch artist and two different sketches it got the women to question their view of themselves. Great ad, would be nice to have seen men in the video also having sketches done.

“Women are their own worst beauty critics. Only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful. At Dove, we are committed to creating a world where beauty is a source of confidence, not anxiety. So, we decided to conduct a compelling social experiment that explores how women view their own beauty in contrast to what others see. ”

Advertising Chalk Drawings – Part 1

I recently posted the recent Dark Knight Rises 3D Chalk Drawing in Madrid for the premier of the film, at that point I didn’t know who the artist was, but now I’ve found it to be Julian Beever, an English chalk artist who does a lot of these drawings for brands and who features heavily in this post. These are not only works of art in their own right, but also great advertisements that take traditional further, while some incorporate a degree of interaction for consumers to take photo souvenirs away with them. I have included three main artists in this post so I’m going to group them into their works or art, then put the other random ones at the end. I haven’t included ALL the ones I have found, there are a lot of car ones and some I didn’t find as good as these or that they kind of felt like the same concept so I’ve just included my favourites, while doing it I realised it was going to be a huge post and I don’t like it when one post alone takes up the front page so I’m going to split it up, so this is part1. So we begin with:

Julian Beever

Olympic Torch Relay – Most recent one from Julian for the Olympic torch relay through Leicester

Rembrant

Sony Vaio

The Sun

Transformers – Not Entirely sure why he’s holding a Mountain Dew but hey ho

Virgin – One of my faves, that vault door looks awesome

Ballantines – Definitely makes an impression!

BT Infinity

Coca Cola – Brand fave

Daily Mail

DHL – Very clever concept

Make Poverty History

Part 2 on the way!

Batman Dark Knight Rises: 3D Street Art

I’ve always loved these kinds of street arts, they’re fun to watch people do, in a kind of “can you guess what it is yet?” Rolf Harris way, they aren’t permanent, and the sky is the limits. They’ve been used before for adverts before and I’ve seen some good examples, but this is my favourite one I’ve seen for a while, maybe it’s because I’ve just come back from seeing the film? I don’t know. Anyway, it’s awesome, and was created in Madrid to mark the Europe Premiere, no name of the artist yet though [EDIT: I’s by Julian Beever. See his other work in my post HERE].

I may do a post with a collection of advertising chalk drawings soon

NDCYFA: It’s never to late

This commercial has been made for the Norwegian Directorate for Children, Youth and Family Affairs. The translation of the text: “ It’s never to late to help someone on the right track. We need more foster families to youths between the ages of 15 and 17.” Such a pretty way of doing this and the pictures are very good.
