Playboy commemorates 31 years in Brazil

8.2.2006 – 9:24 am | by paul

Playboy, Brazil

Let me just say, WOW! From a design perspective, this is one of the greatest ads I’ve ever seen. With just a few simple squiggles of a black pen on white paper, it effectively illustrates the message.

The ad was created by an agency in Brazil, called Neogama, and they did a beautiful job. Well done Neogama!

As a designer, I know how strong the temptation can be to reach out to the latest and greatest digital tools to complete a project. But, I think this ad really shows that sometimes, the best solution is to abandon all of that, and use your mind, instead of your mouse.
