Pat Toner found this interesting outdoor execution, and thought it would be a great addition to our billboards section! Look at the first photo below. At first everything appears normal, but if you scroll down and see the rest of the gallery, you’ll quickly realize how smart their idea really was! The company behind this produces some hair colorants, and I couldn’t think of a better way to identify natural colors, than with the nature itself! I’m always supporter of great ideas, specially those involving optical illusions! Sadly, I’m never compensated for mentioning these kind of ads, even though many of you brought this up in the comments section. Btw, other were also interested how to submit illusions – I thought the Contact link in the footer was visible enough, but you are always welcome to use our Facebook group if it feels easier…
that is awesome
nice job
nice one!
Wow. Very imaginative. I would love to meet the person who designed that billboard!
I had to look at this post today because I thought that maybe it would be an advertisement from a product line my company uses, and sure enough it is! I wonder where this billboard was…
You work here? Awesome!
wow thats a really neat idea!
You Mean, If i use their hair colourant, I will Have The SUN in My hair. NICE =)
Hahahahaha (:
Very nice, it’s a great concept!
now thats smart
truely it is
i see that i’m not the only one who visits failblog and moillusions everyday. this was up last week on failblog for a WIN of course.
I must say I never did see a “contact link” at the bottom of any footer. I have seen the “speak your mind” link, but one has to go into the posting proper, rather than on the page with the ‘short’ version…. Admittedly, I am relatively new to the site, but making available to everyone (even sorry folk like me) will get you many more comments. Just like recycling, it has to be easy (and even then, not everyone will participate)….
Sick. Period.
I was wundering what the illusion was, so I clicked on it, and I like it. Thanks for posting, well done.
Great idea. Another great illusion put to commercial use. Keep it coming!!
Wow! This is one great creative billboard! Greeat Job guys!
thats so cool!
It gives the illusion that a gust of wind would snap that forehead piece off. Must be reinforced.
@Ian
its not a cutout, but a transparent material for the hair. So it will be as sturdy as any other billboard.
koolz
what a breath of fresh air this ad is …..
Wonderful concept!
the most perfect ilusion I’ve evr seen ;D
Wow. At first, I couldn’t figure out what was different with the picture even after scrolling down to see the other pictures.
Anyway, this illusion is pretty neat when you figure out when the creators have done.
the coolest thing is that it also tints your eyes, nostrils and mouth!!! whoaaaa!
The same hair stuff is also used for mouth, eyes, nose…
:P
@Ian,
It does not have to be some kind of paper. Could be solid steel or anything like that too.
Or just cut-out paper between two plexiglass pieces…
it looks so amazing!! it also really wants you to look at the ad!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
Cool billboard… now I can say may hair is storm-cloud gray and be able to back it up! NICE!
Beautiful! I’m totally impressed! What can I say, you have done it again!! Keep up the great work!
Me likey…
Reminds me of the fancey ways you can carve a pumpkin.
transparent much?
i love them
love it
good and imginative work-
keep
Wonderful! Nature not only colored the hair, but also the eyes, the mouth, the nose and the chin. :)
that is sooo cool! :)
I see a rabbit…
I see what you did there.
This is a brilliant ad for hair dye; good work to whoever snapped this pic.
