People Were Confused By BBC’s Dracula Billboard During The Day But It All Came Out At Night

Recently, BBC released a new series called Dracula and erected massive billboards in London and Birmingham to promote it. However, they left some people confused. When viewed during the daytime, it appears like a series of randomly placed stakes on a white background. Sure, stakes are kind of vapire-related but is that it? Oh no – just wait until it gets dark.

Turns out that during the nighttime, and additional light comes on and the randomly placed stakes begin to cast a shadow of Dracula himself! Creepy and genius, right? Check out the billboard in the gallery below!

Some people couldn’t believe it’s merely the arrangement of the stakes that casts the shadow and claimed there has to be some sort of clever backlighting trick. Either way, we think it still looks pretty awesome.

The Dracula mini-series aired at the beginning of the year

The three-episode miniseries launched at the beginning of the year, receiving mixed reviews. Sadly, the series failed to capture the viewers’ attention with some critics blaming their viewing habits.

People loved the creative billboard but criticized the series

One day, this guy just kind of figured - “I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?” - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that’s trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that’s too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Ukrainian Copywriter Practices His Skills By Creating Clever Print Ads Every Day

Have you heard about the ‘365 challenge’? The one where you’re supposed to do something every single day for one year? These things actually work, and if done honestly, they can become a good way to hone your skills. That’s what Ukrainian copywriter Andrii Mischenko decided to do to flex his creativity muscles.

As a training exercise, Andrii has started creating print ads for famous brands daily: “ This challenge means I have to post creative print advertising every day (except weekends), ” he told Bored Panda. “ Each day I choose one brand randomly. Then I analyze all the communication and advertising brand had. Then I create several prints in Photoshop. And finally, I post one of them on my Instagram account. “

Andrii has been at it since June 2016 and so far he’s sticking to his word. You can follow his progress on Instagram .
