Hidden Clues in Ads

Marsatac Festival 2008 Campaign

This creative ad campaign for the 2008 Marsatac Festival offers viewers a guessing game approach by hiding the featured artists behind big, white posters. However, the advertisements are full of clues hidden in the decor that reveal the identity of the artists.

I love it. Rather than display the image or name of the artist, the ads visually communicate the identity in a fun and artistic way.

The campaign was created by Tabas.
