I've been trying to remember the name of this one for ages now. Anyway, it came to me just recently. It is weird but funny - Joel Veitch is a genius.

My particular favourite is the song 'Northern'.

You may or may not have heard of the Falling Sand Game. Seems like this is recently making a sweep through "student land", as Mike would put it. :wink:

Falling Sand Game

So popular it even has it's own song. I won't post the link here, but the link to it is above the java applet.

This link is just so funny. I just love the expression on her face combined with the slogan.

Look at the Plan 59 too as it is quite amusing.

Plan59 is good - some of them are very amusing. I suppose I am very biased because I like that style of advertising.

Its a very dated sort of advertising....looks like I dunno 70s at the latest. Sorry but I hate that sort of cheesy look.

i like the look if only because it's so naive and colourful, though some of the angelic children can be quite disturbing!

i would prefer it to today's advertising drives that rely almost solely on sex to sell productions - i like my adverts to show me exactly what it says on the tin so to speak

I think that there is something special about it too. I just like how vivid the whole thing it and you must admit it is pretty impressive considering the limited colours and printing techniques of the time.

Yeah, today's advertising isn't any better. Maybe your right,Mike but I just don't like it personally. Its not that there is anything wrong with the style or the work that goes into it, just my opinion.
