Veja Magazine – Get both sides campaign

Posted in Advertise by Teo

Veja Magazine (Portuguese: “Look”) is the most circulated weekly news magazine in Brazil, fourth most circulated in the world.

The following ads combined words to make images. Words disappear as they form a picture, and there is somehow hard to believe they are still present

The ads were made by the agency AlmapBBDO, Sao Paulo, and won silver and gold medals on the 2005 Clio Awards.
