Seen and notedBarclaycard makes customers' lives easier in this spot from BBH London and Gorgeous director Peter Thwaites. VIEW THE SPOT Call it a "Bjursta" inspiration: this new spot for IKEA from director James Rouse of Outsider tugs the heartstrings and ignites the creative spirit with the story of a small boy who can't seem to get his busy family to look at a creature he's fashioned out of clay. The answer, fortunately, can be found around the dining room table, courtesy of IKEA. Rouse sees the signs in this next spot, and they all say 'NO'. By juxtaposing the many things we are asked NOT to do, with all the things a family CAN do with an "Ektorp" couch from IKEA, the world seems a much cozier place.

BEST TV I give a runner-up nod to my runner-up for the Auckland Zoo spot because poo is funny. The United Nations landmine spot is well done: cold, unemotional, antiseptic, just like the bastards that create the real things. The photo of his wife and kids is a brilliant and creepy touch. But my favorite is the reprisal of the Wassup guys, even though it's a tad long. A nice bit of imagined design to see the trials of these guys 8 years later and the hope an Obama presidency would offer their various woes, and ours. I love the fact that the happiest of the bunch is the one in Iraq. Brilliant. BEST PRINT I like the Skins spread for the unexpected notion that your bike now pays for the rigors of your physical activity. The small shot of apparel helps to reinforce the notion that a little bit of smart engineering on the part of what you wear goes a long way to making you feel comfortable/protected. A nice, natural photograph as well. But it's hard to beat the beauty of the Tiger ad for Wildlife Trust. A beautiful, simple and very powerful idea. BEST OUTDOOR I like the work for Samson & Delila. A smart juxtaposition of environments and conflicts with a message for awareness/hope that goes beyond just selling opera tickets. I'm continually impressed with the Economist advertising, both overseas and here in the states. And it's also refreshing to see them going after a younger audience with a sarcastic yet oddly respectful tone. I hope they did a bunch; would be a fun series to collect until it started to smell.
