Who says that ads don’t work


AIDS campaign poster

Originally uploaded by warheart.

Spotted this at a bus stand outside my home. For those outside of Singapore, the bus stands over here have medium sized glass frames which have advertisments placed in them. I froze when I saw it. Basically, the aim of the advertisment was about the prevention of AIDS, but the concept rocks. You really don’t have to say a lot in advertisments, but make sure you put your point across in the neatest way possible, and this is one great example imho.

This is freakin’ morbid. But then I’m morbid too. Totally dig it.

    Have you seen the more risque that they put in I/S magazine that goes “Bird flu isn’t the only thing you can get from cocks”?
