Advertising is a skill and an art-form. In print advertising, the advertisers are restricted to flat, non-movable text and images. On the internet the ads can move, but are still 2D. However, when it comes to outdoor advertising, artists have a free hand and can let their creativity run wild and free – and they do, in extraordinary ways. Outdoor and ambient advertising are all the advertisements you can see outside of your home – whether it is in a store, a billboard, a bus shelter, etc!
Here we have collected 50+ outdoor advertisements that are stunning in the imagination and creativity applied to get the amazing end results we can see when walking down the street. Although, I have to say, I have never seen any of the outdoor advertisements listed here or anything like them!
