I’ve recently featured the creative photography of New York artist Phillip Toledano (see here), but when I saw these disaster-themed fashion shots by him, I had to post them. There is something captivating about a model wearing an expensive stylish suite next to debris and damaged properties.
Such a beautiful and creative music video for the song Inside a Boy by the band My Brightest Diamond. It starts mellow and slow then the monsters and bombs come. Brilliant art direction and illustration.

Unlike their usual graphic and serious ads, this new spot from Amnesty International shows the “Crazy Leaders” of the world. Pretty funny and light hearted.
Shockvertising refers to shocking and controversial advertising. Shockvertising involves the use of blood, violence, and excessive sex. The approach has been overused but it still seems to work in grabbing the attention of viewers. In the end, a negative but viral ad is more effective in generating brand awareness than a boring safe ad.
The second official episode of Trend Hunter TV showcases ten of the most shocking advertising campaigns this past year and explores some of the current shockvertising techniques such as fake lesbians, fake murders, and even employees getting punched in the face to promote their agency!

“All Day I Dream About Sneakers” is a cool new Adidas ad campaign by Lifelounge, Melbourne, Australia.
Under art direction by Dimitri Kalagas and creative direction by Daniel Pollock, the print campaign consists of 8 fantasies about Adidas sneakers.
We’ve all been there. You had your eye on that expensive piece, and when the crazy sales come, your hunter instinct kicks in and no one can stand in your way. That is the essence of these “Bargain Hunt” ads by Selmore, Amsterdam for De Bijenkorf.
I like the execution of the idea. The ads show different variations and scenarios. Model wise I like the first ad with the Tarazan jumping girl, but the running shows look damn funny in the third ad below.
Ogilvy Advertising London created this quirky PSA commercial for MTV Switch to encourage people to conserve water. How? By urinating in public places instead of the toilet. That way you don’t have to flush!
The unorthodox PSA will start running online and in cinemas across Europe soon.
In case you wonder about the beautiful song used as a soundtrack, the track is called “Miserere Mei” and is composed by Bouwe Dykstra.

The Sony Bravia (Domino City) commercial was shot in India by director Nic Finlayson for ad agency Bates141 Singapore.
Lady Gaga ‘Beautiful Dirty Rich’ video is outrageous and brilliant. It's even better than hot sex. Wel... Almost. (if the YouTube video doesn't work, check it out here)
Haha, these ads made me laugh out loud.
“Paper is Evil” is a campaign by DDB Canada for Snaptax.ca, an online service to do your taxes instead of using paper.
Such a naughty little paper monster!
Alphabeat currently is one of my favorite pop/dance groups, and Boyfriend is one of their really cool songs. Early on, Alphabeat made a quirky but cool video for Boyfriend. But after they became famous, their label decided on a “big budget” video. I have to say I much prefer the simple organic video. I also prefer the ‘slower’ version of the song that was used in the first video. However, both videos and versions still rock. heck them out below!
Video version #1
Video version #2
