Came across this image of an advertisement posted on a side of a bus and decided to share it to our advertising students. As you can see, application placement should be a big factor in the designing process cause a couple of stains on your reputation.

HAH! This is amazing.
The "Mmm... fabulous" copy isn't helping except in the area of making me lose my appetite. Is that the actual copy of the original ad or did you/someone photoshop it in??

In all seriousness, this post is great because although we need to be thinking about using alternative medias to bring ads to the marketplace, it is important to think about all factors, environment being one of the most obvious.

i think its also important to know and understand the placement of your ads. Clients have spent the money and as the creative person you should be aware of what can occur. We've all seen the Sex and the City when Carrie had a poster on a bus and someone drew on it.
we have to plan for the worst
