Advert: Volkswagen: The Fun Theory




I liked these adverts so much I decided to post all three. They are a new set of viral videos from Volkswagen. The idea is to prove people will do good things for the environment if they are having fun at the same time. This is suppose to tie in with their new eco-friendly cars and prove to people you don't have to burn masses of fossil fuel to have a good time. I think the adverts don't mention the car aspect ,so it might not have their desired effect however I really want to have a go on some of those things.

This is a window that turns into a balcony at the press of a button. It is currently being shown off at trade shows but will be on the market soon. It's a clever idea and I can see it selling, it does take a while to transform though.

Creative: Dyson Fan


Sir James Dyson has always gone against the normal ways of thinking and is one of this decades best inventors. After being turned down by the big vacuum companies he created the first bag-less Vacuum Cleaner and since then has revolutionised many other household machinery. His latest invention is the blade-less desk fan, which takes air in and then multiplies it allowing you to feel a cold breeze against you.
