    Advertising and graffiti share a lot in common. Both are creative, aggressive and strategic in placement and execution.

    A good advertisement is more than a beautiful or funny ad: it is an highly efficient communication piece. Again, much like graffiti (a.k.a. the beautiful piece on the legal wall versus the burner on the highway spot).

    I'll post here some advertisements that I think are pretty good. Do the same if you find something interesting... Here's a few to begin with:

    great thread. advertising for the most part annoys me, but i do enjoy the design and creativity from many ads. the mindless thought out on the toilet stuff is what's annoying.

    nice to see you so active in the forums again news.
