Unique Creative Poster Designs for a 401K plan company named Fidelity.
The poster series was designed by the Miami Ad School, Miami, USA. I think they’re quite original, and display simple, effective typography with quirky imagery. My favourite is the poster of the man with the large glasses “Envision a big future while you can”. Other strap-lines include “Have Things That Grow with a Purpose”. Enjoy…
I came across a pic of this ‘toastie warm’ Creative Bus Shelter today and thought I’d share it with you. The bus-shelter ad for Caribou Coffee is for transit shelters, and comes complete with working digital clocks and even, yes, real heaters!
Hot on the heels from the previous post Social Media Campaign Posters, here are a set of twitter posters for you. Yes, they’re unsurprisingly dominated by the colour blue—and very imaginative. Enjoy! / Above: Twitter Plane Poster by Mikekus.com.
We’ve all seen standard ads, but what about bench advertising? This post shows 10 great examples how creatives have turned the humble bench into wonderfully clever adverts:

Pretty unique bench advertisement produced for BMX Rider Magazine [link].
Very clever Slim Fast Promotional Bench concept. Although, it’s rather worrying that some modern-day models would fit on this! [link].
‘Stadium Seat’ bench ad for TV company, Telia, where people are encouraged to ‘watch TV anywhere’. Football fans who used the benches could watch live football on their mobile phones [Full story link © art Director: Henric Almquist].
The Becherovka “Get Closer” Park Bench. This would definitely get noticed. The site explains: “Becherovka is a traditional Czech liquor enjoyed my men and women. Long-term communication strategy of Becherovka is captured is a slogan: Get closes. That’s why our Becherovka bench is specially designed to help people do just that.” [© link]
Arrels Fundacio Bench. The surrounding ground reads “For many people in Barcelona this is their home. Give Barcelona a roof. Arrels Foundation” [© Altraforma, Spain : via].
The image above is for the foreign branded hot-drink Iberasco [link].
