Creative Defacement – Adbusted in Berlin


As seen here, there is more to street art than just graffiti tags. A group of people in Berlin have taken defacement to another level, getting creative in the way they deface ads. Across billboards depicting famous women, including Britney Spears, they plastered adjustment panels from photoshop – highlighting the element of deception involved in high-end glamour retouching.

Interesting…

When marketing goes nuclear…

Scarcity plus Christmas plus social pressure plus greed plus kids = critical mass.

Gruen Transfer – watch it!

If you’re into the intricacies and creativity of advertising and find yourself enjoying your favourite ad almost as much as the product it’s trying to sell you, then check out ABC’s latest foray into the world of niche television with Gruen Transfer – a show all about advertising.

Gruen Transfer

“Gru-what?” was my initial reaction, but with a panel of some of Australia’s most eminent figures in the advertising industry and a deconstruction of what makes a good TV commercial, the show is as much entertainment as a delectable glimpse into the wit and psychology of advertising.

Even better, you don’t have to wait till its next ABC airing to watch it, you canĀ download the episodes or stream them in the comfort of your very own command station…uhh, i mean desk.

Awesome idea, and reminds me of one of the more innovative media presentations i’ve seen:
