an absolute masterpiece in terms of relevance and capturing the feelings of every football player wannabe. to me is this the best an ad can be. hats off especially for the choice of first person perspective! that beats all the other ads with the same idea we’ve seen before.

this writer here never was a fan of O2, mainly because he couldn’t understand how you create that stuff and how is it supposed to be different from the previous campaigns.
but this change of style (mostly) that the “Better, Connected” claim introducing campaign shows is something I can enjoy.

Agency: Vallance Carruthers Coleman Priest, London

UnitedVisualArtists was commissioned by Warp Films to create a live-action music video, for the new Battles single, “Tonto”. They created a unique LED installation in a disused Welsh slate mine - an audio synchronised field of light contrasting with the rugged terrain. The video consists of the documentation of the band’s marathon 11 hour performance, as well as a series of time lapse pieces from the surrounding geography. The cover artwork for the single is also taken from the shoot, and was art directed by UVA.

Would Chase Switch?

let’s ignore the fact that this is actually a poster for a design exhibition & also that we’ve all seen this “redrawing” of printed designs before.
I’d love to imagine Chase would switch to sending out account balances in this design. of course, a bank has to guard it’s image of the solid institution full of greying men in uniform black suits, but we’ve seen some banks venturing to communicating a more human face of their brand the past couple years (Washington Mutual comes to mind instantly), so why not? wouldn’t you love your bank a tad more if they’d be more playful? I’d like to think I would.
