Wow! They Did it Again

This is a different type of inspirations being that I've never posted videos before.  But it's Geico's newest commercials that I absolutely love!  People generally find chess very boring to watch, especially the chess tournaments on TV.  If there were fish swimming or getting eaten up, I might watch that over chess.  What makes this so inspiring is they took a famous soccer announcer and turned the most boring sport to watch into a spectacle!  I love how he holds the GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! for so long.  Who holds it that long and can make it hilarious?!  Also, the people are on cue... it's just perfect.  I love Geico's commercials and I hope that they keep it up.  ^_^

Eye Spy With My Little Eye

I had to do one more... this and the website link below was what I found while looking for when magazines first started.  I may never know that, but I know that this is definitely an ad that makes me think twice definitely.  I love how it uses the billboard's pole as a way of creating the submarine's telescope and doesn't need to stay much to get the point across.  Too bad it wasn't the Yellow Submarine from The Beatles though.  =P

Double the Trouble!

Sorry I haven't done this in about two weeks... but everything has been hectic!  So, to make up for last week, here are two inspirations.  =]

There are lots of things that have turned small... from the Mountain Dew cans that we see at stores, to now salt?!  I love how everything has been turning small!  It's so inspirational because of how small, cute, and convenient this can fit in your pocket.  ;)  When they say you need a pinch of salt, this is probably what they meant.

This came from the Better Homes & Gardens June 2010 issue.  Now, what made this advertisement pop out for me was the use of the magazine titles.  Though it may not be much more than putting a few magazine titles together in a paragraph, it's a nice sort of "collage" (and I love collages).  Magazines have been here since, well, forever practically!  I see this as being a long industry where the Internet will rule.  Too bad they couldn't turn this idea into an online advertisement.  Maybe in my spare time I will make one fore them.  ;)

Cut the Lawn Already!

Okay, we can't exactly cut it, but maybe we could trim it.  ;)  But this came from Communication Arts magazine, and this is an annual report for a lawn company I do believe.  In any rate, I believe that's perfect for this company because not only does it represent grass through it's wonderful book cover filled with fake grass, it also has grass sprouts and different plants on each of the pages.  Plus, who wouldn't love the idea of playing on it with their Barbie dolls pretending to have a picnic on it, and then turning the report into a lawn-eating monster?!
