Bathroom Ads

Bathroom Ads. Whether you are a guy or gal, you have probably noticed ads in bathrooms. The above images show some examples you have maybe seen. Guys most of the time you go to use a urinal there is something always posted right in front of you while you relive yourself. You can also find them on a stall door right at eye height while sitting down, and now they are starting to have ads built into the mirrors as you wash your hand. As you can see in the second pic, they are TV/mirror that as you walk up the sensor turns it back into a mirror.

In my opinion, these are very great and useful ways to advertise due to the fact people will look straight at them for at least a minute instead of just walk on by. These also work great for stores to put their coupons in. 

Billboards

One of my biggest fears is making an easy mistake on work that I am doing for a client. I found some of the biggest ads out there, billboards, that have mistakes. On the first one, it is an advertisement for a well established company, Porsche. There is an S missing in Boxster.  The next one has an ' in the word always that does not need to be there, and the last is a billboard that had the wrong date for voting. Sometimes things get looked over and that is why it is best to get as many eyes on your work as possible.  

Creative

I ran across this Picture on the internet, and it grabbed my attention. This is a picture of a hand strap on a bus or train with someone using it. I think this is probably one of the most creative ways to advertise a product. Not only does a consumer see the ad, but as he/she uses the strap as it is intended they now see the product (a watch) on their wrist where they would wear it. And this is done without the customer stepping foot inside the store.

This gives me inspiration to see if I could create the same thing, something someone may use every day and when they do use it shows of a product at the same time.
