An incredibly well made and powerful ad from Amnesty International petitioning for the worldwide abolishment of the Death Penalty. Really nice stuff. See, we’re not all about E3 booth babes and expensive Scotch. We got a heart too…

I have to say I really like what these by TrustoCorp guys are up to (remember these?). Yes, wheat pasting that little cool ghost or cartoon or stupid smiley face with long legs is tired as all hell, but taking the time to create metal signs and place them in public spaces is taking things […]

Design partners Borders Perrin Norrander created this campaign for the US election in 2008, and it has some really clever graphical plays on it. That whole oil thing really seems to resonate right about now, especially if you happen to live in the Gulf Coast. Or if you’re a pelican. On that note, it really […]

Holy shit, this video is nuts. MIA obviously has no interest in tempering government perception of alleged terrorist leanings.

A great, simple video about the evolution and employment of power by British think-tank Demos, The Power Gap was created in conjunction with UK-based agency Airside. Sure, I’d like to think that as time evolves the individual has earned more rights and more power, but really what does it help? Does any individual really have […]

Props to UNICEF for these Child Soldier Toys — sure they look like those ubiquitous green plastic soldiers everyone grew up playing with (actually, do kids even play with those anymore?), but a closer look reveals they’re actually kids at play. It’s a clever and subversive way to bring attention to the global crisis (especially […]
