Clever Typography Campaigns.

I have been researching clever uses of typography in advertising in design, hoping that this will help me develop a clear outcome using typography myself.


All of the following advertisement use typography to represent the theme of the element being sold.

 Australia Post: this one has done the rounds of email forwards recently. The idea of ‘letters come alive in person’ brilliantly brought to life in typography.

 Malteser: brilliant art direction to send down a chilling message against drunken driving

Regaine: ad for a hair restorer.

Drugs and driving: trippy stuff outlining the outcome of doing drugs and driving.

Ben & Jerryssome of the executions in this campaign may be a tad hard to read but the originality of the concept in an otherwise conventional category is worth applauding. It was – this won several awards recently.
