MCA Tribute At The MCA

I've only just discovered this this week. Brilliant idea.
Ad creatives James Beswick and Dan White remembered the late Beastie Boys rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch with a guerilla art installation at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art).
Their tribute, which is in aid of Cancer Council, involved hiring a professional human statue, decking him out in classic MCA gear and creating an unauthorised exhibit in one of the galleries. A placard resembling official signage was stealthily blu-taced to the wall beside the performer to help the illusion and explain the stunt to museum goers.

Making A Neon Coca-Cola Sign In 1954

CR blog have a very interesting post on the making of a neon Coca-Cola sign for Picadilly Circus in 1954. Normally I wouldn't post something about Coke, but the technical expertise and logistics needed to make this size of sign without a computer is pretty impressive...

More Creative Advertising

This ad comes from Melbourne. It is for the Australian Childhood Foundation for their ongoing campaign "Stop Child Abuse Now". They used child size mannequins to represent children suffering neglect. The mannequins were placed in high traffic locations around the city and then a billposter was pasted over the top of the figure so only the feet and legs could be seen. Words on the poster read, “Neglected Children are made to feel invisible.”
