<\/p>\nEspecially in our era of digital media, advertisements which utilizes real-life 3D space are often overlooked by creative agencies. Billboards offer advantages and freedom that other mediums such as banner ads won\u2019t be able to compete with. Here are some of the best and most creative examples of 3D billboards from a variety of companies and industries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The most impressive part of this billboard is the fact that they\u2019ve actually teamed up with another advertisement. Consumers are used to advertisements competing with each other, each in their own little separate pieces of the world. When two advertisements end up crossing paths like this the result is an unusual but unique synergy which ends up benefitting.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t stop here though, Donatos has actually teamed up to do similar ads for their pizza with other brands. The fact that they were able to coordinate this level of cross promotion not just once, but multiple times, is astounding.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Compared to some of the other selections on our list, this ad doesn\u2019t necessarily push the boundaries of what can be done with 3D billboards. Compared to lavish and impressive set pieces on some of the other billboards, this ad\u2019s simplicity shows that creating an effective 3D billboard doesn\u2019t necessarily require a huge budget.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If one were to take a moment to really look at the actual graphics of the billboard, they would quickly realize that it is comprised entirely of some plain text on top of a colored background. It seems like a lot more is going on here thanks to the 3D cigarette butt under the sign, but this billboard is the picture of simplicity. The majority of the ad is actually in the cigarette butt itself- the sign conveys the information it needs to convey but the eye is naturally drawn to the cigarette due to the contrasting light color compared to the billboard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Cars and planes \u201cbreaking through\u201d the billboard are a commonly recurring theme when you look at many 3D billboards. A horse however is a new spin on the old formula. While the visual interest and excitement of something approaching the audience is still there, the horse, night, and fantasy environment aren\u2019t something people are as used to seeing and make it stand out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a certain magic about big things that shouldn\u2019t be big and small things that shouldn\u2019t be small. When we end up seeing something that isn\u2019t the size we\u2019ve come to expect, it invokes a sense of wonder and giddy. This concept is used frequently in film and many amusement parks to great measure. Thus, the concept of making a giant ad out of a small commonplace object does well to capitalize on this idea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While most other \u201ccrashing through the billboard\u201d ads simply stick out the front of a thing, this one goes a step further and actually makes it appear to destroy the ad. Similar types of ads also don\u2019t usually have a good reason for the subject of the ad to be coming out the front- what is it moving towards? Those familiar with The Peanuts series of comics and cartoon shorts though will recognize this billboard as a small recreation of one of the more famous strips. Even for those not familiar with the brand, it\u2019s still visually interesting and does a good job of conveying a sense of excitement about the movie.<\/p>\n
![\"Absolut](\"https:\/\/www.bmediagroup.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/absolut.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Ever gone to a furniture store just to get inspiration from how they\u2019ve set up their mockup living spaces? There\u2019s something cool about seeing dioramas, how perfect and frozen in time they appear to be. This Absolut ad invokes the same spirit while also adding in a different layer of visual interest, the 90 degree angle of the furniture.<\/p>\n
Much like a piece of art conceived by MC Escher, the rules of gravity just don\u2019t seem to work the same way on this ad. Drivers will inevitably be drawn to the piece out of curiosity and wonder, thus inadvertently exposing themselves to the Absolut brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
