Amazing Ads #2 - food theme
The first series of ads proved pretty popular so I’ll be blogging more on a regular basis. Here are some food/drink related posters as found via the Chillout Point website. Sadly none of these were credited with the agency/designer behind them.
Obesity
Hunger
“Pint of beer £4.50, 50 litres of fresh water £1.50”
“Handbag £32, food for a week £4”
Homelessness

Acid House - BBC Propaganda
Pretty hilarious example of propaganda from the 80s. Personally, I think “acid house correspondent” sounds like a brilliant job!

Somehow, each post is a central floating image each with its own fixed bacground which reveals itself as it scrolls. it’s almost like each post is its own site within one page of the blog.

So I’m trying to be healthy
I’m ordering a fruit & veg box from a local farm via a company called Riverford - I guess that’s a fairly good and wholesome thing to do these days, especially when living in the big smoke. They put a leaflet through my door so I guess I’m a prime example that direct marketing can actually work, sometimes.
Website simple and pleasant enough, then I hit the details form:
I’ve never EVER seen that many choices for title, in ANY context! Well today, I’m going for Captain Ellis…
