The work, which won three silver Lions (in Print & Publishing and Outdoor) and a bronze (in Design) at the Cannes festival last month, shows kids literally envisioning their...

Inspiration that's accessible
By Angela Natividad
With the most basic of modern tools, we are capable of magic. This summer, Wieden + Kennedy did its part in expressing this with its "Stories Are Everywhere" campaign for Instagram. But to more elaborately illustrate the production scope of what we hold in our hands, Apple enlisted director Michel Gondry to shoot a film...

lg2's shock piece for SAAQ
By Tim Nudd
Enough with the fun, entertaining ads from Cannes. Here's a difficult, depressing one that won a bronze Lion in Film--lg2's "Don't Give a Damn" for SAAQ, the state-owned road-safety organization in Quebec. Like many road-safety ads, this one follows a reverse chronology, from a child's physical therapy back to the moment of his catastrophic injury...

From Japan, of course
By Tim Nudd
Japan prides itself on ludicrous advertising. But every year, a few commercials go beyond--transcending the market's typical weirdness and reaching a state of truly inspired lunacy.
