The Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC) had placed interactive murals to inspire Americans to book a Canadian vacation. The murals took over the streets of New York, Chicago and Los Angeles this summer - pulling content from Twitter to display real-time updates from and about Canada.  With such innovative ideas how can you not be proud to be Canadian!

Being a Graphic Designer is no easy task but sometimes they fail to see what everyone else sees. Having said that..check out this logo for a pediatric center for low income families. For those who don't see how this can be inappropriate (what does the child look like their doing near the adult's crotch while the adult is holding their head and looking down). I'm not disturbed I know you see it to!

Grey Jakarta's (Indonesia)amazing outdoor advertising for Conservation International "When coral reefs disappear mankind will follow". Took me a while to notice that the reefs are actually clusters of human arms. Very powerful visual! (click the image for a better look)

 

Almap BBDO São Paulo came up wit this creative outdoor ad campaign where people were encouraged to create something out of basically nothing." How far does your creativity go" campaign was pretty smart if you ask me!

Best Ad on TV right now...

Jeep should be praised for their new ad because.. come on who wouldn't want to buy their car after this commercial. With all our stuff being made everywhere else but in our own country..this commercial gives Americans one more reason to love their country.

Even as a Canadian I would buy this car because of this commercial!
