ING Group’s beautiful cities in a click illustrations

January 15, 2015 by Yein Jee

Dutch financial company ING Group has launched a new brand positioning, World, Here I Come, in Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. As part of the campaign, ING created a series of Cities In A Click posters which offers travellers useful information to key travel destinations before they board a flight.

Ten local artists from each of the ten cities created an illustration that reflects their city. ING also worked with Lonely Planet to ensure each one provides insightful suggestions and tips. The featured locations are Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, Istanbul, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, and New York.

Love the idea. No spots from Africa, Oceania, or South America though. Perhaps those regions are not “key” destinations from ING’s perspective, but these multinational corporates need to show more sensitivity when making a global marketing campaign. Click picture for larger size.

December 6, 2011 by Yein Jee

Zhang Baohua is a Chinese artist who paints with palms and fingers instead of a brush or tool. It’s said that he invented the style in 1989, a statement which I have doubts with. He’s one amazing artist regardless…
