Sand Advertising

       In one of my design classes we created two posters dealing with social issues.  Our current project is to think of different ways to apply our posters in the real world besides simply hanging them up as posters.  As I started think about what to do for this project, I realized that people can use anything to advertise.  Any person walking around wearing and article of clothing with its store logo or name on, is an advertisement! 
When my family and I go on vacation we love to build elaborate sand creations.  One of the days we decided to build a giant soccer ball in honor of the US team winning their game that morning in the FIFA World Cup Soccer tournament.  As we were building it and after it was completed people kept asking us what it was all about or asking when the next game was etc. I remember my dad making a comment about how he felt like he was "pulling off an advertising stunt for FIFA World Cup." I think that was the most creative advertising I've ever participated in.  


Here are some more of our sand creations just for fun:
