Inspiration you should not try at home

BiblioteqThis unsettling Biblioteq Creative Books ad illuminates one of the key difficulties with turning children into jack-o'-lanterns: Near-daily growth and a complex facial bone structure both make it impossible to get the face right. Just kidding; we’re well aware that the ad symbolizes how books augment the creative flame burning within each child. Their imagery could stand to be less grim, though. You can check out three other executions over on Advertolog.

Change out the logo, and you'd have a nice European PS3 ad.

Great work! I don't think they're macabre, they stand up and get noticed with a simple, smart message. Isn't that what good advertising should do?

Well done to the ad agency!
