Creative World Cup Adverts

Well the World Cup is upon us and of course that means lots and lots of football related adverts. While many of them can be cliched and dull there are a few creative ones out there. Have a look below and see which ones Azul Ink liked: (Click to enlarge)


This first advert really caught Azul Ink's eye. It is incredibly creative and is based on the Ndebele tribe's patterns and was done by visual designer Charis Tsevis. He was studying the great African patterns tradition. Perfect for World Cup South Africa 2010!

This is another of Tsevis' African pattern designs. This one was done in brighter, bolder colours and depicts the Ghana player Michael Essien. Azul Ink thinks it is simple stunning.


This cheeky little advert is part of Puma's Puma-sutra campaign and made Azul Ink giggle. The illustration is clean and simple if somewhat suggestive. Azul Ink also love the brown background design used in the advert, the perfect shade to suggest the heat of Africa's Sahara.

This final advert was chosen by Azul Ink for the beauty of the photography used. The picture is clear, crisp and of a good, high resolution and paints an outstanding picture of one of the stadiums that will be in use during World Cup South Africa 2010.
