This ad for the London College of Communication uses graffiti to get the attention of potential drawing students.
Living in Montreal, I have seen some spectacular graffiti; there are some businesses who actually pay young graffiti artists to paint mosaics or advertising pieces. I am sure this advertising message will be well received and will hopefully give the chance to young people to use their talent for good causes. The ad was created by advertising school, London College of Communication with art direction by Mark Holland.
