Interactive billboards address domestic violence

UK-based charity firm Women’s Aid uses digital billboard featuring the bruised faces of women to draw public attention with the words ‘Look at Me’ as pedestrians look at the billboard the bruises start to heal. Engineered by WCRS, the interactive billboards installed in different parts of London city use facial recognition technology that can recognise people paying attention; those who look at the billboard get feedback via a live video feed that runs along the bottom of the ad as a visual ticker-tape, registering an increasing number of viewers. Post production of the campaign is handled by Smoke & Mirrors and Ocean Outdoor is the OOH player behind it.



Buses ply carrying Cadbury’s lenticular printed ads

Just recently, buses in London impressively donned with Cadbury’s latest ads of Marvellous Smashables chocolate bar printed using lenticular technology. It was not just an ordinary graphic ad campaigns wrapped on moving buses. The graphics in the ad created an illusion showing that the chocolate bar is exploding into small pieces. With the use of lenticular technology, OOH specialist Talon and media agency PHD have transformed a standard bus T-side advert into something really exciting and impressive.



AGFA Graphics’ Anapurna revives 600-year-old temple door graphics in Japan

A Buddhist temple in the World Heritage Site near Kyoto in Japan, was originally constructed back in the year 998 AD as an exclusive villa, but destroyed major portion of it in a fire in 1336 and revived the lost graphics in 2015 (November) using AGFA Graphics’ Anapurna 2050i. Yes, it’s the Anapurna printer that recreated the temple’s door graphics. The challenge was that even regular doors are rarely flat on their own, but in case of the Japanese temple, things got more complicated as the doors were intricately carved and normal printer wouldn’t able to print on it. Anapurna 2050i, using a 3D printing tool, allowed the ink to be printed on a irregular door surface using ‘white ink’ to recreate the original white parts on the door.



Jack Daniel’s bottles protruded out of billboards!

General Motors’ (GM) Renaissance Center Headquarters, a signature element of Detroit’s skyline, was adorned with a massive GMC advertising wrap for the Detroit Lions’ appearance in Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN recently. GMC is official truck of the league. The graphic work, which included the GMC’s brand logo atop the network’s game logo was done by i.M. Branded, a Michigan-based automotive showroom graphics experts. It took five i.M. Branded staffers a week to install the wrap, which was lit at night during the game throughout September. The wrap was about 280 ft tall and 125 ft wide, perforated using vinyl window film applied to the exterior of glass that allowed people inside the building to still see through. The film is similar to looking through a screen door.
