One of the most amazing videogame trailers I’ve ever seen, and it just may be the most controversial.

Dead Island is a “survival horror first-person shooter with RPG elements” slated for release in 2011 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

I’m keeping my eye on this one. Awesome find by Kevin.

No copy necessary in this highly visual ad extolling the virtues of Batelco’s mobile directory. By agency FP7/BAH, Bahrain.

Stunning image work by RLR Advertising for Heal the Bay, a non-profit environmental group trying to restore the Santa Monica Bay. Great work RLR, but is that seriously your website?

The latest Old Spice ad is finally released! This, after a short pre-launch campaign that granted one lucky Old Spicer Super Fan status. As a Super Fan winner, 16 year old Chris Gatewood got full access to the new ad 24 hours before it hit the net. Oh, and some Super Bowl tickets.

Is it awesome? Yes. Mind-blowing? Debatable. Looks like there is finally a subtle feeling of diminishing returns on the whole campaign, but it’s still better than 98% of the ads out there. Discuss.

London-based Aled Lewis (aka Fatheed) is a savvy, nerd-culture obsessed designer and illustrator and Threadless contributor. His Real Life Videogames work is amazing in its simplicity and yet incredibly frustrating – mainly because I didn’t think of it first. See more at his flickr page.

I don’t typically post showreels on this blog. But when you have a one the best in the biz putting together an incredible reel, you do it. The Mill is a fantastic production and special effects company behind some of this blog’s favorite ads, including Das Handwerk’s Craft, Adidas’ Star Wars Cantina, DirecTV’s Opulence, and yes, even Nike’s Write the Future and Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like.

Much love.

How do you promote a new line of Mini’s? With a slow-motion monster truck rally, rednecks, a muscular broad, and man in a chicken suit of course!

One of best PSA’s you’ll ever see. Although I fear the target audience is a bit too specific to be effective.

Designated drivers for the mafia and other criminal organizations, take heed!

Timba Smits (sweet name) is a London-based “graphic designer, artist, illustrator, independent publisher, self confessed magazine whore and wannabe olympic ping-pong playa”. He’s also got a thing for all things vintage, which is probably why he uses his amazing half book, half magazine Wooden Toy Quarterly as another outlet. Enjoy.
