cutting edge public sculpture





This public sculpture was produced for the city of Sheffield by Chris Knight who forged a fascinating career as a silversmith and metal sculpture, creating distincitve public art sculptures. This sculpture can be found outside the railway station as a greeting to visitors to the city. The long metal sculpture actually reflects the cities sky line in it and at night it looks stunning lit up.

mastercard intercom ad




Another hilarious advert for mastercard - priceless.

ladbrokes cafe banter ad





For anyone doing the 'william hill betting' brief maybe something to look at?

kill the gun cinema ad




This ad shows the aftermath of gun crime in an explosive way, the idea is really interesting and it really puts things in perspective when you see what objects literally being shattered apart by a bullet. Then when the childs face appears at the end it shocks you and you hope the same thing isn't about to happen to him as what has happened to the other objects. A really powerful ad.

wilkinson sword 'fight for kisses' ad






Check out the cute baby and his karate/matrix moves. A funny ad which advertises a mundame object but instead of the standard man shaving and admiring himself in the mirror ad, it adds humour for a change.

new york city blackout ad




I came across this cinema ad when i was researching for the 'celebrate electricty' brief. I found it really interesting to see a city without electricity and how people come together and help each other out. The concept of 'somethings need to switch off for people to switch on' refers to turning your mobile phone off in the cinema, but it is executed really well by the real life story in the advert showing people coming together to help each other in desperate situations. It makes people realise that electricity isnt the 'be all and end all', and we do take it for granted, after-all people survived without it years ago.
