The boom around Apple’s iPhone has just started. Here is an advertisement created by Apple fans.

Sexy: Get String From Object
Geeky but very appropriate job advertisement by Netherlands based company Virgil to recruit programmers. Apparently getStringFromObject() is a JAVA command but in this context it obviously means something different :)
New iPhone Television Ads
Apple’s iPhone television ads have been published.
Video: Gas Is Precious. By VW
Great advertising around the issue of gas becoming more and more expensive. It’s not about love, it’s about gas. (TV-Commercials from France)

Drastic Advertising Campaign Against HIV
The former German Tennis-Pro Michael Stich shocks the world with a drastic advertising campaign against HIV and I love the work his foundation and advertising agency Jung von Matt have done to draw the world’s attention to this massive problem.
“Between life and death is just 0,003 mm latex” is written on one billboard, “The eyes from the father. HIV from the mother” on another. You can view all the images from the campaign below.
Michael Stich, Wimbledon winner of 1991 founded his charity organisation 13 years ago. Next to the direct and indirect help for HIV-positive children the focus lies in the education and prevention of HIV- and AIDS. The current campaign wants to sensitize young people for Aids.
Faces Behind The Apple Ads
Rocket Studio created the famous silhouettes for Apple’s Agency TBWA/Chiat/Day. More great advertising on their website.
The Ad Generator
The ad generator is a generative artwork that explores how advertising uses and manipulates language. Words and semantic structures from real corporate slogans are remixed and randomized to generate invented slogans. These slogans are then paired with related images from Flickr, thereby generating fake advertisements on the fly.
“By remixing corporate slogans, I intend to show how the language of advertising is both deeply meaningful, in that it represents real cultural values and desires, and yet utterly meaningless in that these ideas have no relationship to the products being sold. In using the Flickr images, the piece explores the relationship between language and image, and how meaning is constructed by the juxtaposition of the two.”
The ad generator was created by Alexis Lloyd as a component of an MFA thesis project in the Design and Technology department at Parsons The New School for Design.
Intelligent Video-Advertising For Site Owners
AdBrite, a content ad network, has just soft launched its newest product: InVideo
With InVideo the company has created a video player similar to YouTube’s, which users can brand with their own logo and, if wanted, include AdBrite ads. The good thing: you get paid when other people watch your video and even better, you also get paid if somebody embeds it on their own site. Additionally, a click leads the watcher to your website. InVideo is still in private beta testing but you can sign up for an invitation on the about page.
Comments from users around the internet are pretty controversial. One argument is that it is now easier than ever to steal a video, push in some AdBrite ads and profit from it. I think it is true, nevertheless it is a great way to embed (your) videos on your website.

Evolution Of A Dove Advertisement
I have seen a very interesting video about the development of an advertisement for Dove beauty products.
As you might imagine, the video shows the path from an “ugly” looking woman to a pretty one after using the products, eh after using eyeshadow, hair styling and photo editing (as usual).
No matter if it is for real or not, the video is great :)
Alpecin - Doping for your hair
Alpecin, a german cosmetics producer, had released its hair treatment campaign “Doping for your hair” in the summer of 2006.
Till today there are massive critics from athletes going on, wanting to stop the advertisements. The German cycling federation says it has not anything to do with it and, actually, there wasn’t any criticism until the doping incidents during La Tour de France.
Brandmeyer Markenberatung created the ad, then the founder of Alpecin initiated a survey where people should vote whether or not they find the advertisement misleading: 64% of the voters were positive, only about 20% said they’re having negative feelings.
It is a fact that caffeine improves performance and is detectable in the hair roots, nevertheless it is not on the doping list anymore.
Overreaction?
