Make you own bus banner

December 17th, 2009 by Brad Heap

Over the past week there has been quite a bit of fuss around a group of aethists raising $20k to put some advertising on busses saying “There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”

It didn’t take long for someone to create a image generator to create your own ad, here is my attempt:

TVNZ get creative with advertising

Take a look at the ad for the tv show on the right of the panel. Very creative TVNZ even if it is just a computer generated ad based on word recognition.

On a more serious note there is a very good discussion with Peter Lineham from Massey University regarding the church here: http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/price-religion-destiny-church-3102501/video

Green Party Billboards

Yesterday the Green Party launched its billboards for the upcoming election. I particularly like this one:

The problem however is that New Zealand is not on the centre of the earth. It must be!

So in setting out on resolving this problem I decided to be inclusive of all and therefore put the entire globe, spinning behind it. And viola!

The Original and The Fake

July 8th, 2008 by Brad Heap

When I first saw the Telecom and featuring Baby Come On by Elemeno P I thought it was pretty cool. However, upon discovering that the company in it was fake it was a bit of a let down. Now I have discovered that the whole video is based off a web based viral video that actually is a real company. Telecom great ad, but it is not cool to rip off other peoples ideas.
