Whew, its been awhile... ADV ART

So is advertising art? Maybe. Maybe not. Sometimes? Everytime? Well I believe I have found a few pieces that would be considered art...well to me.

I love this advertisement because of the uniqueness behind it. It takes a negative thing (explosion or demolition) and turns it into something beautiful and breathtaking. It shows exactly how to advertise "it's not what it's about." The clown kind of creeps me out and is kind of unnecessary but goes with the craziness of the entire piece.

This ad to me screams simplicity. It is such a simple concept yet so different and beautiful. The lighting and the soundtrack really make the add to me. Although I love this ad very much, I have heard the rumor that they stole the idea from the David Letterman Show where they did this exact thing--but regardless it's still pretty cool.

I watched this ad for the first time in Intro to Creativity last year and was astounded. We watched the "making of" portion too and the amount of work that went in to making this 1 min spot is unbelievable. They used stop motion animation and made hundreds of rabbits (including that huge one) in order for the spot to work. I think this is creativity at its finest.

Wow. This ad is just plain awesome. When I first saw it, I was like "there is no way they could make that work." But after watching the "making of" I saw just how much work went into turning the Gatorade bottles into Michael Jordan. I believe it is art because they are turning ordinary, boring, plastic Gatorade bottles into a mural.

The art aspect of this advertisement is pretty easy to grasp ,however it's taking painting to a new level. I just love the idea of using a car as a paint brush. The final piece actually turns out pretty cool and the ad strays away from your typical car commercial putting BMW in a class of its own.
