Blade is an extraordinary symposium of ads from around the world, collecting work that shows how man's desire to sell has spurred him to new levels of invention. From African murals to Asian cartoons, from religious promotions to environmental installations, the range of attempts to shock, to scare, to make us laugh, to make us guilty, to make us feel good, shows the diversity and the incredible similarities in every attempt to connect with the consumer. Contributions have been carefully selected and include the Creative Directors from the world’s leading communication and advertising agencies. Through the originality, diversity and naked imagination of its ad collection, Blade is simply an unrivalled resource for all who revere the art of communication.
