Gym Ad on a Construction Site (Concept)

By Alex in Advertising, Pictures on Apr 5, 2008 at 4:37 pm


Michael Griffith of the Savannah College of Art & Design had this great idea of converting a construction site for a high rise into advertisement for a local gym!

Found at Ads of the World, who has a couple more pics.

    For a second I thought he was pulling it with his balls.

    We had a similar thing where a castle-like building was under reconstruction and a huge 3D-soccer ball was crashing into the building (the whole ad was designed to look exactly like the wall of that building. on the opposite side of this ad there was another ad of football players :)

    +1 for incorporating the landscape into the ad.
    -1 for disgustingly over-muscled guy in the ad. Gack.

    What's the point of the Objective? It works fine without it. Imagine if all ads needed a description!

    Classic. The text is redundant as pointed out above.

    I recall one for Nike where Barry Sanders was on a mural 3 stories tall on a building in Detroit and the only text said, 'Barry Sander, (Actual Size)', or something like that. It was pretty funny.

    With that much steriods on board I'm not sure his testicles could pull anything.

    This is a proposal for an ad, not an actual ad. I suppose it works as long as the cranes are never actually used - would be an expensive proposition.

    After the huge crane accident in NY, I'm kinda worried about this kind of ad. Those are some really big appendages to be putting on an unfinished building.

    it is just that some models are useful ...
    I guess there are some gyms that are meat markets, but really, almost all the gyms I've gone to, are pretty much "leave each other alone".
