We all know that advertising for most parts are crap, tedious, annoying or all three at the same time. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a select few gems out there that are well done, and deserve the praise for standing out from the jungle of advertisements that surround every one of us on a daily basis.
One such ad can be seen bellow, and while it may not be what everyone would consider a great ad(read: “You pervert! What were you thinking when you posted that image?!”) I think it’s great. For one it catches everyone’s eye, especially if you have to walk through there, and secondly it makes sense unlike a lot of the ads these days.
There are several sites which collect such ad design gems, and my favourite so far is Ads of the World. They have well over 5,000 ads that are noteworthy, divided up into several categories for ease of finding things that could interest you.
Just as a little side note, the new Durex XXL ads are hilarious. NotEvenOnce has some really great, and shocking ads as well, so those who like design and have some free time be sure to head over to Ads of the World and have a look around.
