Fantastical Helmet Ads

This Campaign for Nutcase Helmets Depicts Cyclists Being Oddly Attacked

To capture the attention of consumers, 'Nutcase Helmets' worked with agency 'The Community' and illustrator Juan Bakea to devise a series of print ads that playfully exaggerate the capability of its products.

In order to do this, Juan Bakea reimagined the typical cyclist as a large-headed cartoon. Each wears protective gear, which range from heavy armor to vintage scuba gear. As they bike however, they're being attacked by an enormous animal, or in one case, a ninja with nunchucks.

While one man travels, a fire-breathing dragon follows closely behind. In another, the cyclist continues to ride while a vicious lion clamps onto his head with its teeth. With these Nutcase Helmets ads, the brand shows how strong its products are -- telling consumers that they'll be kept safe while wearing them no matter what.
