Can't Miss This: 40 Insanely Creative Anti-Smoking Ads

I'm aware that I am not a Strategic Communications major, but I find advertisement designs so fascinating. They're so similar to magazine designing in many ways because they also tell a story visually.

So we all invested a lot of time into our cigarette rolling stories. So when I came across this article "40 Insanely Creative Anti-Smoking Ads" it (naturally) immediately grabbed my attention. We all spent so much time trying to think of creative ways to tell the story, some of us branched out more with doing cool stuff in Photoshop and Illustrator (which I did not) but looking at these ads prior to would have really inspired me! Take a look...

This one's my favorite. I love the smoke coming off of it. And I'm thinking they traced the shape of a lung in a pile of cigarettes but I'm not really sure? If I had more time I'd try to recreate this... buttttt I don't!

Enjoy looking at the rest of these!

  1. These ads are really interesting. There are a lot of cool uses of photography and typography. I think my favorite ad is the one of the mouth with the cigarettes inside. It was somewhat provocative and cutting edge. For this reason I think it really stood out. I do think the one you featured in this blog post is interesting as well. It's cool to see design working for a (good in my opinion) cause like trying to get people to quit smoking.

  2. I like the "buttt" I don't. I don't know if you were meaning to be ironic but it's cute. Really cool ad, definitely gets the point across.
