“Design Will Save the World”

This series of flash banners promotes web design in general. In playful manner they “advertise” web design as unique creative profession and lifestyle.

Names of four most popular designers in the Russian Internet were used for this campaign. In their works they present different styles and ways of the contemporary Russian web design.

The series was in heavy rotation in Russian advertizing banner exchange system RB1 for about month and a half. RB1 covers more than 250 sites with about 600000 banners viewed per day. These banners aren't targeting any special group; they speak to everyone.
