Isn´t it the same idea but with a beautiful art direction?

isn't having the same idea though the whole campaign a good thing?

I guess it would be costly to execute the idea in some other way than simply... drawing it. (in very small type: But if the agency saves something on regular clients... oh well, oh well...)

Looks like it. The art is amazing though, you're right.

Beautiful. Really like this.

please explain me this idea i dont get it

awesom campaign- 1983: scrable its a game of connecting words, if you draw all the words in the same position of the game board, it would look almost like this. :)

Scrabble is old, this is as useful as printing ads for VCRs

Art for art's sake. Beautiful. But too clever for its own good. Aimed at Ad people and people who already own scrabble boards.

LOL... the monkey with his banana in the mouth of that "thing" is fkn hilarious.

This campaign is one of those milestones in advertising. Before this campaign the ad world thought that ads actually had to be understood. After this campaign won the Grand Prix, all creatives understood: We were wrong! Ads have to be illustrated in some weird way. That is all!

This campaign is fan-fucking-tastic.
