Keep it simple

Minimalism goes a long way. In this series of Lego ads by German advertising agency Jung von Matt, we see simplistic representations of some of the most well-known cartoon characters.

Successful advert - playing on what we already know.

Successful characters - can be recognised through simple blocks of colour.

Something to add to the xmas list

Masterminded by husband-and-wife team Bill and Brie Kingston, what a great idea... i'd love to other possibilities of printing on the inside of a tshirt and wearing it as a costume.

Whoever changed my name (Amy's name) to "The Goblin King" on the passport sign. I am taking this as the highest form of flattery.
