In the category “direct mail that grabs your attention”, below is the latest mailing piece we received from the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. Amongst a pile of boring pizzeria flyers and a few despised invoices, that very bright pink bra cutout certainly added a bit of colour to our post.  It’s nice to get something . . . → Read More: Dress for the cause

Back when we lived in Toronto, the daily walk to my office job involved walking across Union Station, where every week I was bombarded with direct promotional items from big brand companies: bags of Uncle Ben’s Rice, Coke Zero cans, chewing gum, Kleenex, Shampoo & Conditioner sample, bottles of Frank’s Hot . . . → Read More: Mile High Raccoon Promo

FASHION Magazine – Nice Vero Moda advert (designed by us!)

Vero Moda @ The Bay ad

Vero Moda @ The Bay ad

Solstice Chewing Gum – Ugly Billboard

Billboard-Solstice Chewing Gum

We came across this billboard during the weekend and were somewhat disappointed.

Coors Light – Bus Shelter on King Street

Coors Light – Bus Shelter on King Street

Here at yellow car design, we’re not the biggest Coors Light fans but we appreciate good advertising when we see it. So when we saw that bus shelter on King Street, we thought that it was very cool (haha). We also think that it’s a shame that this . . . → Read More: Coors Light – Bus Shelter on King Street
