<p><a title="Volkswagen Innovations" href="http://www.volkswagenautopilot.nl/en/" target="_blank">Volkswagen Innovations</a>. This is a great idea from Volkswagen. Do you know what is TSI, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Assist and Park Assist? Yeah.. Some of us might know about them but not everybody. So VW created a very interesting website with clear design that explains this new technology through funny games. Visit the <a title="Volkswagen Innovations" href="http://www.volkswagenautopilot.nl/en/" target="_blank">website</a> and take a look..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">VW created several banners in order to support its online advertising. These are some of them:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are some interesting print ads that I found on several websites. Take a look and leave a comment if you want.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong> Land Rover Defender Above the Clouds</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-506 aligncenter" title="Land Rover Defender-clouds" src="http://imnikos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/land-rover-defender-clouds.jpg" alt="Land Rover Defender-clouds" width="515" height="355" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Land Rover Defender is presented as the vehicle to take on the mountains with this print advertisement from the United Kingdom. We’re shown a view of a Land Rover Defender on a peak above the cloud line, from the perspective of a plane flying above.&#8221; (The Inspiration Room)<em>Advertising Agency: Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&amp;R, London</em></p>
<p><strong> McDonald’s: Big Tasty</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-507 aligncenter" title="Big Tasty - McDonalds" src="http://imnikos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/aow-mcdonalds.jpg" alt="Big Tasty - McDonalds" width="515" height="514" /></p>
<p>&#8220;There are many people who do not really understand how big and tasty Big Tasty really is. That’s why DDB Stockholm has developed an outdoor campaign that&#8217;s just a bit larger than the medium itself.&#8221; (Ads of The World)<em> Advertising Agency: DDB Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden</em></p>
<p><strong> Lect Up lenses: Needle</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-508" title="Lectup Needle" src="http://imnikos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/lectupneedlepreview.jpg" alt="Lectup Needle" width="460" height="325" /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;Improve your vision.&#8221; (Ads of The World)  <em>Advertising Agency: Callegari Berville Grey, Paris</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>VW Crosspolo not just for Offroaders</strong><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-509 aligncenter" title="vw-crosspolo-leaf-net" src="http://imnikos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vw-crosspolo-leaf-net.jpg" alt="vw-crosspolo-leaf-net" width="515" height="339" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-510 aligncenter" title="vw-crosspolo-pizza" src="http://imnikos.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vw-crosspolo-pizza.jpg" alt="vw-crosspolo-pizza" width="515" height="339" /></p>
<p>&#8220;Volkswagen presents the CrossPolo as the step up from the Polo in a print advertising campaign, “Not Just for Offroaders”. Three humorous print advertisements show men who appear to like the idea of being outdoors, but haven’t quite left behind the comforts of home.&#8221; (The Inspiration Room) <em>Advertising Agency: DDB Berlin<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Audi Q5 is presented as the car with perfectly synchronised engineering in “Synchronized”, a television commercial combining intricate choreography and visual effects. Advertising agency Heimat worked with Psyop to create real images of driving using thousands of perfectly synchronized humans holding cards.</p>
<p>The 60 second commercial begins with acrobatic engineers providing real time human pixel animation, creating the car and the driving environment. As the acrobats’ cards flip faster and faster the Audi Q5 image becomes more and more the real thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KUG9DL8mC6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KUG9DL8mC6g&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Marco Spier and Eben Mears from Psyop explain the creative process behind the advertisement…</p>
<blockquote><p>“First we explored many different ways of creating dimension. We talked to our choreographer to find ways to throw people in the air, to create human pyramids and synchronous summersaults. It was important that everything could actually be created by people. The scene had to feel human. We wanted to shoot as much as we could in order to blur the line between real and CG.</p>
<p>The idea of acrobatic engineers fit nicely with the perfect synchronization of the Audi Q5 and for us illustrated the concept of thinking outside the box. It explored new ways to demonstrate Audi’s incredible performance capabilities. These are engineers who literally do the impossible by working together to form the shapes, images, and finally the Q5.</p>
<p>This spot pushes the idea of people working in synchronicity to the next level, surprising the viewer with methods that are on the edge of impossible, or in moments even beyond.</p>
<p>To further support the idea, we thought it was important to understand, that this is an actual show set on a very big theatrical stage. We wanted to create the illusion, that this is something that was created and performed through huge effort and scale. So the design became a process of landscapes that could be created in a real theater space.”</p></blockquote>
