This clever Cupido 'Steamy Winter' print ad campaign turns bus stop shelters into suggestive steamed-up windows. The images are meant to look like foggy bathroom windows in which, um, adult activities are taking place.
TRY in Oslo is the ad agency behind the Cupido 'Steamy Winter' print ad campaign. The photography was done by Sigve Aspelund of Oslo, with creative direction provided by Petter and Thorbjørn.
Implications - The creative bus stop ads were also turned into a commercial that was released in May 2010. At first sight, the steamy ad may be quite a shocker! You can see a person's bare-bodied imprint on the steamed up sign. Even though the signs are hot, the people outside definitely look chilly.
