My friend Blogless Christian sends me to this “ad design site”:http://commercial-archive.com/129885.php where they’re discussing Walker Werbeagentur Zuerich’s new _Trompe l’oeil_ Amnesty International ad campaign. “It’s not happening here but it’s happening now” is the tagline, and they’re pretty effective.
