1. Let the place inspire you.

In the advertising campaign by Stuart Rowbottom and Mike Campau, iconic places such as the Beverly Hills Hotel, the Capitol Records building, the Hollywood sign are placed on the sole of an ASICS shoe.

02. Combine images for optical illusion

Love Agency’s striking campaign for the Mint Vinetu book store in Lithuania combines the faces of the readers with the book covers.

DDB Brazil created this simple yet effective campaign for FedEx. Continental maps are placed on buildings to convey their message.

4. Use individual pieces that reveal your product.

In this award-winning campaign by Cannes Lion for Harley Davidson parts and accessories, motorcycle parts come together to reveal portraits of motorcycle owners. Brock Davis and Eric Sorensen for the creators of this concept.

05. Find creative ways to highlight one side of your product, such as using colors.

In this advertisement by Serviceplan for Faber-Castell, colored pencils are color-matched to real-life animals and objects.

06. Play with Proportion.

This ad attracts a lot of attention, but it can also be frightening. Playing with the proportions isn’t always pretty, but it sure won’t take people’s eyes off.

07. Exaggerate to give your message.

You can come up with interesting concepts by using exaggeration. In this ad by Saatchi & Saatchi, Ariel makes the shirt so white that it blocks the shadow.

08. Show how you make your customer’s life easier.\

How does your product make your customer’s life easier? This ad, which Eric Schoeffler, Chief Creative Director of DDB Tribal Berlin, created with his team for Volkswagen, does just that. They made the ad to increase sales of optional features they offer for new cars. Your ad will look great if it’s a product where you can add some humor.

09. Be creative in the details.

The online download bar in this ad was used in MTV’s campaign against pirated music downloads. In this way, it was aimed to explain how fans harm their favorite musicians by playing their music. Using creative details will give life to an image that isn’t interesting on its own. Patrick Ackmann is the Creative Director of this cool project for MTV Europe.

10. Play with the unexpected.

DDB Brazil’s Creative Directors Sergio Valente and Rodolfo Sampaio created this creative ad for Zoo Safari. Its motto, ‘Blend In’ (mix, be harmonious) suits the visuals very well. In other images that will make you look back on the project, a man is united with a gorilla, while a tiger is preferred in the other image.

11.  Emphasize the problem – what if you can use colors as well.

The team at TBWA/Istanbul aimed to increase the sales of IKEA’s cabinet arrangement products by emphasizing the smallness of cabinet spaces in this brightly colored advertisement designed for IKEA.

12. Use popular culture.

13.Use an unexpected perspective.

In this advertisement by BBDO Spain for the WWF, endangered animals are housed in an auto mechanic’s garage. This perspective fits well with WWF’s slogan ‘Extinction is irreparable’. The fact that it was shot from above added a unique perspective.

Consider your target audience — where do they live? What are they doing? In this ad campaign by Ogilvy for Ford Fusion, the car is shown as one of the explorers touring the city.

17. Attack the enemy.

Instead of showing how white Colgate can make teeth and emphasizing the solution, Young & Rubicam brought the problem to the fore. The replacement of teeth with cigarettes, coffee and tea bags, which are the biggest enemies of tooth appearance, attracts your attention in a very different way.

18. Use white space (in this case blue).
