   Hey David,

   Thanks for sharing these, I have never seen the Bob Builder but that is awesome. Looking forward to seeing who wins it this year.

   LOL I love the ‘One lonely but appreciated comment’. Wonder what it would say once mine is added.

   I love the collection, especially Bob the Builder!

   I love the last one “piano tuition”. Something from the old yet unique.

   Some of those are hysterical. I feel so dirty laughing at some of them but I can’t help it.

   No probs at all, Sean.

   There were a few entries, Jon, that I thought were too over-the-top, but on the whole, the standard was excellent. What I found a shame was the lack of decent entries in the “corporate identity” category.

   Yeah. But the Women’s Refuge one was awesome. I love it for the tactic it used.

   Haha good list, I do like the psychic one too!

   My favourite, still, the Blu-Tack one from last year.

    I love it. And I learn fast from award winning design:

    HAHA the breeding service poster is AWESOME….

    Now am I right in thinking these ads aren’t at all official? Was initially shocked at the BNP effort, one thing I always thought we had over racist organisations was that they don’t have good designers.

    Ps. David for some reason the images in this post don’t load in Chrome for Mac. Or, they load and quickly disappear.

    Thanks for sharing! The Fucking Bitch is brilliant!

14. Nina, on May 6th, 2010 //

    Quite a lot of racist/sexist ones on the actual site :/

    But your picks were funny :) good choice

15. Waz, on May 7th, 2010 //

    Builder one is brilliant! So simple!

16. David Airey, on May 7th, 2010 //

    Ruby, the Blu-Tack one is good. I agree.

    Valentino, you are right. Here’s a relevant quote from the Chip Shop site:

    “The Chips is all about ideas. Your work does not have to have been broadcast, printed or mailed. The Clients doesn’t have to be yours. You just need a great idea.”

    The piano one is class! People are so creative nowadays, I’m sure in 10 years time there will be hundreds of new ways to advertise in the shop windows and streets, of course if technology and digital magic is not going to take over. I could imagine loads of special spaces [squares like billboards] that will have a pen and paper attached or you can send a message with your iphone to the billboard and it will be displayed there for a week. :D

    The one with the piano keys sticks out, very clever design, I liked the idea of “taking” a key with you to get in contact with them…kudos
