The Advertising Concept Book
How do you write a great ad? Pete Barry, who worked at Ogilvy London and now teaches in New York, goes straight to the basics: work out what you want to say, who you are saying it to, and how you want to say it. hands down the best advertising & creativity book I have ever read!
Notepod
App idea? There’s a page for that! Three 60 x 110mm, 100pp Notepods printed on both sides. 80gsm laser throughout with a stiff black strawboard back
Food Face
Here’s a chance for junior to play with his food and exercise his creativity at the same time! So bring on the mashed-potatoes and peas…
