advertising… runs in the fam

Advertising runs in the fam, originally uploaded by addydoodle.
apparently she was appearing in ads long before i was writing them.
my grandma “nan” had a photo shoot for a newspaper ad promoting ohio power ( circa 1960. )
the concept behind this print: she’s writing a letter to her mother detailing how swell life is with electric appliances. the other half of this spread features her actual mother reading the letter. it gave both of their actual addresses. they were four streets apart.
these were the days before forms of consent, talent fees and retouching artists. simple concept. simple photo. simple ad.

no grapes. no nuts.
pretty cool and creative microsite from post grape-nuts cereal. didn’t you ever wonder why it doesn’t have grapes or nuts in it? fine. just check it out anyway. pretty sure this guy ad-libbed his entire shoot. also, features the best method i’ve ever seen for getting rid of the “skip intro” button.

that old hollywood style

i love everything about this picture of my grandma (nan – on the right). she was so classy and always always up on the latest styles. i am guessing this picture was taken circa 1960. it appears they’re outside of a china shop during one of her many travels. so elegant. so beautiful. this picture captures what i missed out on of her life, but can imagine how wonderful it was.

shiny new spot
March 27, 2009
from wieden + kennedy (amsterdam). they’ve arranged a massive amount of hondas to create headlight animation. pretty creative and definitely something you don’t see every day. the spot is specifically promoting the insight hybrid. read more in this article from adweek.
also, check out the making of let it shine.

last night, while making din, the bf surprised me with these gorgeous pink flowers and a bottle of red wine. still trying to find out exactly what kind of flowers they are. both were from northmarket. yay.
{ mystery flowers uncovered… they are ranunculus — thanks, hillary! }
