Advertising: The good and the bad

The Good:

These speak for themselves. Great creative advertising.



The Sunday Times - Icons from Us on Vimeo.

This one is a bit older, but I still enjoy the lightheartedness of the little animation. It shows how animation and the correct music are able to talk about things that could not have been discussed in any other way.



The Bad:

I think we all know this commercial...i guess its debatable whether its successful or not. I think its weird and slightly uncomfortable. This commercial may be so bad it turns out to be good. It got so much air time and parodies. We all have watched it. Success?



I put this video on here because I wanted to show how the wrong music can ruin a commercial. Its difficult to describe exactly why is doesn't work. It just seems elementary.
