With the arrival of the cold autumn wind, the holidays are approaching the most macabre and dark. Without disturbing the very well known
Halloween (festival of other latitudes that by dint of television appearances and film has earned an honorary citizen in the collective), the exotic Dia de los Muertos celebrations Mexico or the ancient Celtic could simply quote nostranissimo November 2 to "create the atmosphere," and as best AD of a famous Brandy saved in mourning.
My personal contribution to the dismal celebrations is the link to The Advertising Graveyard, Cemetery of Advertising. Ideas and concepts were torn from life before reaching the general public arising from their folders forgotten burial in burial records, starved of attention of the living. The U.S. advertising
Jeffrey Zeldman has put together a collection of concept rejected by customers because it objectively too bold (some go beyond the limits plenty of good taste) or why not fully understood by the customer. Slowly the concept
impaired, the botched drafts, the grotesque ideas just sketched crawl from one page to another site, in their mute thirst for revenge against those who buried them with a "thought ... something less extreme."
Tremble, mortals.
ideas are back.
