Guerilla Marketing With A Hemi: Wild Campaigns With Cars
Guerilla marketing catches one by surprise, and instantly generates a ripple effect through the most coveted advertising holy grail: word of mouth. When cars, such a large part of our typical lives, are thrown into unique and wild advertising campaigns it's difficult not to tell one's friends.

Wireframes models are indispensable to car designers, enabling them to manipulate the shape of vehicles before they're created. How cutting edge would a new car have to be to escape the confines of the computer before it's even able to be produced? It's possible a random side street holds the answer.

Smartcars are not known for fulfilling the typical American car values: Power, Looks, and Size, but it's hard not to be won over when they own their small size as their biggest asset. Creative advertising equate their economical qualities as similar to that of a bicycle, and their small size is accentuated by being showcased in oversized vending machines.

Just try slipping this into the shopping cart without the wife seeing… It looks like someone managed to fit this full sized Alfa Romero into a typical shopping cart, though it definitely didn't escape notice.
(Images via theinspirationroom, funniest-commercials)
When would someone least expect a car advertisement? When they're moseying down the beach looking for shells to add to their collection. To add to the unexpectedness of such an encounter, these sand sculptures are sure to trigger the ecologically minded subconscious into relating these cars to nature.

One of the few things worse for a car than getting a deep scratch, is getting an overzealous paint job. Throwing paint liberally onto a car is a great way to accentuate an advertisement that's straining to exceed its boundaries, and an even better way to get tags wagging.
(Images via transportspecs, tomgooday, adsoftheworld)
The best guerilla ad campaigns are temporary, but thanks to the elephantine memory of the internet, the best campaigns live on. One can't get much more temporary than cars carved to the last detail out of ice, casually parallel parked on a typical city street.
(Images via coloribus, gdpsu, francescomugnai, graphicdesignatl)
A billboard is most effective when it's parked in front of one's door. There's a lot more room for creativity when an ad isn't stuck in a rectangular shape hanging high above the road. One example of great (though inefficient) marketing, are the empty wheel well graphics that say "got insurance?" on the other side.
(Images via toxel, whatsalltheracquet, weedguru, paper-plane)
What's more fun than crushing a car? Nothing. That's why it's one of the most effective and eye catching ways to advertise a product. These products may not be larger than life, but at least they're larger than a car.
(Images via worldphotocollections, worldphotocollections, hotfunnynews, cartype)
Sometimes it's hard to take the billboard out of an ad campaign, so why not spice it up with a life sized vehicle? Adding a little bit of flair isn't conventional, especially when an ad campaign goes a little overboard.
(Images via dailyshite, adsoftheworld)
Guerilla campaigns don't only involve cars when new cars are involved. A great message can be passed along and a little creativity doesn't hurt.
(Images via norcalminis, restartithere)
Mobile guerilla advertising bring the show on the road, catching eyes and proving a point with every mile driven and every passenger's attention caught. It's little doubt guerilla campaigns are the best way to get people interested, though it's doubtlessly too expensive to do on as large a scale as companies would like.

10 Intense Public Guerrilla Marketing Posters
Guerrilla marketinghas perfected the technique of catching people's eyes and grabbing their attention, targeting consumers in unexpected ways and unconventional places. That, of course, is the point of this once-fringe form of advertising, which has now been taken up even by large corporations like Adidas and Microsoft. These 10 posters show just how powerful guerrilla marketing can be, whether trying to solicit donations for charitable causes or provoking you to join a gym.
'Real Hip Hop' Bus Stop Ad
(image via: Geurilla de Talentos)
A floating afro sits at head-level behind a bus stop seat, just at the right height to make it look like anyone who sits there has quite an impressive head of hair. This poster by 'Real Hip Hop' is definitely an eye-catcher.
Snuff Clothing Bloody Cleaver Poster
(images via: Ads of the World)
What do bloody cleavers have to do with skiing? That's anybody's guess – apparently Snuff, a clothing brand for 'hard core' skiers, was just trying to get people's attention. The campaign was based around the idea that "death is only a matter of time". Alrighty then, let's go skiing!
Erotika Sex Shop Car Window Stickers
(image via: Ad Goodness)
It doesn't get much more in-your-face than this. An Italian sex shop called 'Erotika' covered all of the windows of a car with stickers showing people in rather suggestive poses. The car, situated right outside the door of the shop, featured another sticker that said "Toys you can't wait to use".
Anti-Graffiti Bus Seat Poster
(image via: EatLiver)
The Australian Public Transport Authority got tired of people spray-painting graffiti on their buses and trains, so they targeted the 'graffidiots' with this ad campaign that reminds would-be vandals what the consequences of their actions could be.
Witness Against Torture Elevator Ad
(image via: Ads of the World)
An otherwise blank set of elevator doors features two sets of fingers peeking out from the seam, as if someone inside is trying to escape. Once you're inside the elevator you see the owner of those fingers: a man in a prison jumpsuit and leg-cuffs. Witness Against Torture, a human rights group, used this ad to campaign for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay detention center.
Get Up and Run Chair Posters
(image via: Brand Infection)
VIP Gym thought images of a flabby, cellulite-ridden butt topped with a pair of love handles would be enough to make people want to 'get up and run'. Glued to chairs in restaurants and cafes, the poster gives you the uncomfortable feeling that you're seeing way more of strangers than you would have liked.
Feed SA Shopping Cart Posters
(image via: I Believe in Advertising)
You'd have to have a heart of stone to avoid being affected by the images of poor, starving children sitting in the bottom of your shopping cart. Any food placed in the shopping cart appear to be delivered right into the needy child's hands. Feed SA, a South African charity dedicated to feeding disadvantaged people, put these decals in shopping carts and saw a marked increase in donations and a significant boost in website traffic.
Suicide Prevention Posters
(image via: Ad Goodness)
So simple, yet so effective. These posters by a Brazilian suicide prevention organization use nothing but white paper and the silhouette cut-out of someone falling – with the negative space from the cutout appearing to save them.
Anti-Smoking Stick-Ons
(image via: Zlatanova)
Tailpipe smoke is gross… and the same goes for the carcinogen-loaded clouds that erupt from the mouth of a cigarette smoker. An anti-smoking group equated the two by placing posters of people's faces with the cut-out mouths strategically placed at the end of tailpipes.
Where's Your Child? Grim Drowning Awareness Campaign
(image via: Life Saving Victoria)
This poster featuring a motionless child hovering at the bottom of a pool – placed underwater so that from above, it looks real – is part of a drowning awareness campaign by 'Watch Around Water', an Australian safety initiative. Parents who caught a glimpse of this rather grisly warning no doubt held their children a little tighter, so perhaps in this case disturbing equals effective.

Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco's Mission District has banned Instagram and other hipster favorites. The cafe, which does not offer Wi-Fi, is attempting to create a haven away from cell phones and promote interaction with one another instead. The rule is displayed on a sheet (with various other policies) and simply states "not posting this on Instagram, you hipster."
Hopefully none of the Four Barrel Coffee baristas act like the workers lampooned in these hipster barista memes.

So...where do I start? Well, my friends would describe me as ambitious, intelligent, loyal, sincere and just an all around good time, but I realize many people may claim that so if you need some references let me know...haha. I'm definitely not perfect and like anyone, I have my flaws but you'll have to find those out in person! I consider myself very fortunate in the fact that I have an amazing family and they are extremely important to me so a girl who is family oriented is a must. Outside of that, I would like to find someone who enjoys the nice things in life without being completely high maintenance. Someone who is laid back, genuine, thoughtful, and enjoys staying active. And by the way, I definitely prefer Starbucks over Dunkin Donuts..So you DnD people, we gonna have a problem, lol.

so much for Israeli democracy which I am beginning to believe is a very limited product in Israel now a days...The ultras control free speech, freedom to pray your way, and any day free movement, the politicos control your pocketbook, and the media is more a cowboy roundup than a potent tool of the ordinary citizen. They seemingly herd the news rather than research it out. Hey fellow Jewish people, time to pull up your socks a bit! Freedom and democracy first, religion and state remain separate but respectful entities...Now you're talking!

Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward on Working With Tommy Zbikowski
Veteran trainer Emanuel Steward, who works with Wladimir Klitschko, Andy Lee, Miguel Cotto and Chad Dawson - spoke with BoxingScene.com about his newest student, cruiserweight/heavyweight prospect Tommy "Tommy Z" Zbikowski (3-0, 2KOs). Steward worked with Tommy Z for the first time on March 26 in Atlantic City. After a fast start, Zbikowski had some shaky moments in winning a four round unanmous decision over Caleb Grummet. Zbikowski will return on April 23 at the WinStar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma. Top Rank wants to keep him very active in the coming months.

Wooden Spring Flower Pots

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.

Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Have some left over wood scrap? Crafts like these Wooden Spring Flower Pots are a great way to use up a wood block or two. They make great spring table decorations, centerpieces for Easter, or can just add a little spring color to your home!
- Two 2x4 blocks (one cut to 5 inches tall the other to 7 inches tall)
- Five gallon paint stick (cut to two 4-inch pieces)
- Two flower cutouts (you could buy pre-cut pieces at the craft store or use a heavy cardboard)
- 1/4" dowel cut into two 6-inch stems
- Wood glue
- Sand paper
- Paint and brushes
- Green ribbon
- Embellishment for center of flower (ribbon rosettes, paper, buttons, a fabric flower, etc.)
- Drill
- 1/4" drill bit
- Start by drilling a 1/4 in hole into the top center of each 2x4 block, about 1/2 inch deep.
- Paint blocks and paint stick pieces brown, stem pieces green, and flower cutouts whatever color you want.
- Once the paint is dry, sand down all the edges on the flower pot pieces and the flowers.
- Assemble the flower pots by gluing the stick piece onto the top of the block--be sure it's the end with the drilled hole. You could also glue a small scrap of wood with a hole drilled into it onto the back of each flower just to help stabilize the piece.
- Add a dab of glue to the end of the stem stick and insert it into the flower block. Let dry.
- Add your flower center to the cutout piece.
- Once that is dry, place a bit of glue into the hole on the flower pot and insert the flower.
- Tie a snippet of green ribbon onto the stem to form your leaves and your beautiful garden is done!

So far, Jeff's been "in" Ico, GTAV, Bioshock Infinite, and The Last of Us, right?
@cooljammer00: correct, whenever he dons his magic red track suit he's instantly whisked away to a faraway game land!

I'm shocked Jeff hasn't taken a trip to the Meat Dimension to compare athletic tops with Chie.
@pakattak: I mainly use the pen tool for creating shapes and then I fill them in with various texture brushes. I don't like Illustrator much although I'm sure a large part of that is due to the fact that I'm not very fluent with it - I just know exactly how to achieve certain effects in Photoshop that would take me a long time to figure out in Illustrator.

@humanity I love these! The idea of Jeff hanging around in games and being a third wheel is so cool. If you're looking for ideas for future ones I think XCOM, Syndicate, any Call of Duty, Persona, or any driving game would work well.
Illustrator is great for making shapes like that much quicker than photoshop, but if you are more comfortable with photoshop I say stick with it because you'll end up saving time by doing it all as one piece.

This is always awesome! I love how everyone has a lot of the same artistic style or same creative vision for the giantbomb guys. Nice job man, I might have to make it my wallpaper for awhile if you don't mind!

@humanity: awesome. Are you willing to share what brushes you used? Where you found them/how you made them?
@jordanarama: I actually use the default dry media brushes that come with Photoshop.

The style reminds me a bit of Guacamelee- clean lines, solid shapes and no black borders. Real appealing stuff; nice work duder!
These are awesome! I really love drawing style. Do you mind me asking how do you do these?
It's kinda hard to explain how I do it as it's not like a formula. I use photoshop and charcoal-ish brushes.
I made a small sketch and then 3-4 hours later it was finished.
That IS a small sketch indeed. I was surprised it's Photoshop and chalk brushes. It has a little Adobe Illustrator feeling to it. I guess that's from the hard edges and the lasso selections you made . Looking good and nice topic/idea!
Excellent, excellent work.
The cool part was drawing this before the game came out and then seeing if my idea of the heist would be realized in-game. I was pretty close, although they don't smash through the front with a truck, they do rob a jewelry store and it kind of looks similar.
