Adshels with a difference

Here are the latest innovations in adshels currently doing rounds on the internet…

Ikea LEDshel

Ikea swapped all the regular neon tubes found in adshels around Vienna with their new range of LED lights. This way they made the product the medium and demonstrated that Ikea can turn ordinary things into something extra-ordinary.

Only for children

In an effort to provide abused children with a safe way to reach out for help, a Spanish organization called ANAR, created an ad that displayed a different message for adults and children at the same time.

The ad used a lenticular top layer to show different images at varying angles. So when an adult looked at it they could only see the image of a sad child and the message: “sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.” But when a child looked at the ad, they saw bruises on the boy’s face with a different message: “if somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you” alongside the foundation’s phone number.

Online casting for Playboy Magazine

For the first time any woman, wherever she is, can make an online photo session and be on the cover of Playboy Magazine. How does it work?

After which they can invite their friends to vote.

Making It Make Noise

Grey Worldwide in Vancouver created a record player from a piece of corrugated cardboard that folds into an envelope.

Once assembled, a record can be spun on the player with a pencil. The vibrations go trough the needle and are amplified in the cardboard material.

The players were sent out to creative directors across North America as a creative demonstration of GGRP’s sound engineering capabilities.
