Chip off the old block
We can scarcely imagine the angst that went into this kid's birth announcement, as Seattle's Wong-Doody appeals to the cult of perfection with a new campaign for Design Online. In another print ad for the Website, we see a suicide note with specifications for the design of the tombstone. The tagline strikes the right anal-retentive note of exclusivity: "Things that matter to designers. And only designers."

Cotton candy
It's not often that a company launches an ad campaign for a product other than its own, but that's what Novartis Crop Protection has done to demonstrate its gratitude to cotton farmers. In a series of outdoor ads, the pesticide manufacturer ponders the plight of a world without cotton. Another ad points out that "Without cotton you'd be cleaning your ears out with a stick," and a third reads, "Nobody ever wrote a song, `Oh, I wish I was in the land of polyester.' " That'd probably be a great song, though, if you cleaned your ears out with a stick.
