Nothing but Copy

But that's why they call it radio. Unique, fun and insightful look into what goes into some radio scripts. Unusual work out of DraftFCB, Paris, France.

Get the Work You Want

On my drive home tonight, I saw a handwritten message taped to a stop sign. It read: Garage Sale. Buy our stuff so we can eat.

Damn.

The world seems out of whack these days, and many creatives feel stuck in neutral.

ADCD takes this to heart as we believe all creatives deserve a creative life. With that, a good number of our board members and close friends to our club congregated to pump out this whimsical little read.

Get the Work You Want is a friendly reminder of the little touches we need to progress. Network. Stay organized. Propsect. Fine advice from some of Denver’s finest talent: copywriter Jordan Sher, illustrators Shaw Nielsen, Jarrod Wheaton, Ali Colby, Steve Schader, Sarah Bergman, Liz Richard, and Paul Vismara.

Escape The Pattern

Interesting work from Lew Lara/TBWA in Sao Paulo. One of the headlines not shown reads: Satisfaction guaranteed or your boredom back. Escape the pattern. I like that.

Jewtopia: A Comedy

Jewtopia is a comedy about circumcision. Doesn't sound funny, but if the ads are any take on it, the writing and art diection, should be. Sharpe Blackmore, Toronto Canada.

Let the Copy Flow

Oh, sure these look great, but the copy is what has me excited. And while I usually avoid the easy sheep joke now and then, the bottle of wine was so wonderfully executed.

Typographic Fruit

Oh sure, Right now this is a wonderful blending of type and fruit. Really wonderful, until the major fruit marketers get a hold of it and all our fruit carries advertisements for Nike, oh wait, that would be cool, once or twice. This is the work of artist Sarah King over at her site.

Outdoor for the Indoor

I really like the simplicity of these as they deliver a very core message. In addition, they found a way to write a tag that may actually mean something to the brand, in contrast to the thousands of brands that refuse to do so.

Timely Rant

This couldn't be more appropriate with the timing of the writers strike. It also happens to serve well for the professionals out there, just replace the title of your profession every time he says writer, and I couldn't agree more, doing anything for free only serves to cheapen what we do.

Either way, enjoy this priceless rant from Harlan Ellison.

***Warning, he does use some familiar, yet strong language.***
