Fast food giant McDonald’s — or more specifically, their advertising firm Leo Burnett — is on a roll with this new campaign of clever billboards! Earlier this week I had featured the “M” sundial billboard, and today I bring to you the cracking breakfast egg, which was recently installed across from Wrigley Field in Chicago. Now, I’m […]
McDonald’s Sundial Billboard [Brilliant Advertising]
Ever since coming home with the new baby, I haven’t been able to delve into my 1,000+ Google Reader subscriptions and I feel no guilt or qualms about it as I normally would have. (And I plan on cutting back on my number of subscriptions in the near future so that I don’t drive myself […]
Lego Words Puzzles [Clever Ads]
If it isn’t obvious by now, I *heart* Lego. J and I can’t wait until our kids are old enough for us to create Lego masterpieces with them! I also love creative Lego ads. Whether they are commissioned or unsolicited, the likes of the Shadow Ads and Star Wars Make Your Own Story series never cease […]

Everybody Reads the Same Story Differently
Barney: Hey, The Karate Kid’s a great movie. It’s the story of a hopeful, young karate enthusiast whose dreams and moxie take him all the way to the All Valley Karate Championship. Of course, sadly he loses in the final round to that nerd kid. But, he learns an important lesson about gracefully accepting defeat. […]

Tesco Homeplus Korean Virtual Store
I am loving this video about how a Korean grocery store chain successfully brought its store to customers during their commute. How is it different from having just an online store? Seeing the items in front of you, in life-size, full-color photos that are brightly and attractively displayed not only reminds us of items we […]
“You know when you’re ready.”
This funny ad for the Canon 40D was published in Digital Photographer magazine back in 2008. …Sometimes, I fear that J is thinking the same thing when he looks at me. Via PetaPixel.
