nice little print ad from ‘euro/rscg’ paris, to celebrate the medals won by athletes in 2010
the text reads: ‘to applaud the 22 athletes of Team EDF for their performance in 2010, close and reopen these two pages several times very quickly’

…which seems a shame to me, surely it is obvious what the idea is and explaining it only weakens the effect?

i made a similar idea with hands back in 2008, on the cover of this brandbook for new recruiter maandag, at least it kind of reminds me of it a bit, the book had two covers: positive & negative (thumbs up & down)

fabulous ad by two old colleagues of mine for that dutch beer brand (ivar van den hove & bert kerkhof @ tbwa), the text reads ‘heineken, social networking since 1873’, see a larger version also here, very nice indeed…
