This has become my favourite thread on GAF. A great mix of comedy, intrigue and just sheer beauty with some absolutely fantastic and unique ideas. Some of them, especially from Mirror's Edge, forget adverts - I've love to have them as prints/posters.

This is my first time seeing this thread. I'm loving many of the 'ads' in this thread, but this is my absolute favorite :lol :lol :lol

 

[TheGOHN]

Maybe I'll start doing mine in two versions.( one for print/posters and the add)

:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Exypher]

Holy shit, you people are really talented.

If anyone has some constructive criticism on my ads I would like to hear it, through this thread or PM's

 

[Firestorm]

My favpurite is mik's gravity ome. Mik2121 went along the lines of the idea I had in mind.

 

[ZealousD]

Only thing I'd change here is call them "Point A" and "Point B".

 

[Akia]

I propose that the next game be Team Fortress 2. The art style and the amount of colors would make for some awesome ads.

Brilliant.

 

[Flek]

Brilliant.

seriously what a awesome idea !

Yeah, would love to see that.
Or also Fragile. This game got nearly no advirtisement in Japan, maybe GAF could do what Namco isnt capable of

 

[viewtiful_dru]

Damn guys, the ME ads are blowing all the previous ones out of the water

Genius

 

[Deleted member 22576]

I think a real fun one would be ads for the Dreamcast itself!
I guess maybe we should save that for September though.

 

[mik]

 

[McBacon]

Thats awesome mik

 

[Hazaro]

So many amazing ads.

 

[layzie1989]

I'm definitely going to try this out for the next game.

 

[Red]

No joke, this thread is making me seriously consider buying Mirror's Edge :lol

 

[No_Style]

Oh my the Mirror Edge ones are amazing.

 

[-COOLIO-]

all these ads are amazing, holy shit. if i wanted free adwork id come here

 

[pakkit]

mik's photoshopping skills blow my mind, and his ad "hooks" seem professional.

What's your actual work job?

 

[durendal]

Not as good as the rest, but I'll post it anyways.

full size

 

[TheExodu5]

Incredible work mik.

 

[ghibli99]

mik, that's perfect. Captures everything that ME is about in a single ad without being too targeted/obscure.

 

[mik]

What's your actual work job?

LOL. Advertising.

Nothing as fun as video games though. But what health care advertising lacks in excitement, it makes up for in a reliable, near-recession-proof paycheck. Still, this thread is like therapy, man. I think I should send AniHawk a dollar. :lol

 

[HTuran]

Was going to originally take a typographic approach (like mik's, it seems), may attempt it later. This is kind of a weak idea. I would improve it by making the Sharpie larger and placing it next to the image. Damn school tomorrow

Mine ad for Mirror's Edge:

Oh god, that could actually pass as an ad from PC Gamer or EGM circa 1997. Mirrors edge will explode your head with guts! Not for your fuckin grandma!


Most all of these Mirror's Edge ads have been quality. This is a great thread.

 

[Hazaro]

TF2 next
Not to mention if some of you can do Garry's Mod

 

[jonnybryce]

All of these ME ones are amazing. Milk, that's so good. Everyone's really is, it's pointless for me to list all your names. Great work.

No joke, this thread is making me seriously consider buying Mirror's Edge :lol

It's an amazing game, I loved it, beat it 3 times.

 

[Mdk7]

HOLY FUCK guys.
Really, kudos to you all.

I've been away for the weekend, i've just come back and... WOW!
I've got a graphic idea but i still need to think about the text...
It's ironic cause ME is one of my favorite games of the year and i'm not that inspired for the ad. :/

 

[charlequin]

Great stuff, everyone, as always.

I think sticking to games with very distinct visual styles and iconography has worked out pretty well for far. I'd like to put in a vote for something with an old-timey or fantasy feel at some point, though, for a change of pace from the slick modernism stuff.

 

[Canti]

Another vote for TF2 here \o/

 

[Flunkie]

Mik's is the best, hands down. Mirrors Edge was the best idea for this thread so far.

 

[DrFunk]

TF2, plz

 

[PedroLumpy]

This stuff is fantastic. You guys are putting entire marketing teams to shame.

 

[Yoshichan]

You do know this is genius?

[NameGenerated]

Faith Bueller?

 

[Ventrue]

Faith Bueller?

I really wish Youtube had a clip of the scene with him jumping over all the fences, because it would be really appropriate right now.

 

[Jugendstil]

Damn, I didn't realize you guys had already moved onto a new game, otherwise I would have posted this last night. Oh well, here it is anyway.

 

[Darkpen]

....isn't that from the whole I am Legend thing?

 

[Mar]

Some of you people are far too talented. These are better than the real ads I've seen.

 

[Hazaro]

Not to mention they did these in less than a day :lol

 

[AniHawk]

I did this last night after I saw Spoo's, but it was so similar (and unclever) that I didn't want to post it right away.

Now that I do have an idea, I'll go ahead and post it. Hopefully the one I want to do will be up by the end of tomorrow.

Say hello to my own feet !
You get the idea, but it's hard to find the good english slogan

The particular art showcased was done by Jason Chan for his portfolio, I believe
