BE A HERO FOR KIDS!
This interactive social ad on a sidewalk in South Korea is hard to miss or even ignore, especially at night! The billboard shows the silhouettes of an adult man and a child that he’s threatening with a bottle in his hand. And there’s an empty space between the two, big enough for the passersby to step up and see their own silhouette appear in the scene (thanks to a nearby light), giving them a symbolic nudge to step in and prevent or report real-life incidents of child abuse. If this isn’t inspirational enough, I don’t what is!
The text on the top of the ad says: “Child abuse, you can prevent it.” When a passer-by decides to step into the scene, a superhero-like logo appears on his or her shadow with an emergency number (112) and this message: “Report to become a hero for children.”

A Mini Billboard Suite, For The Homeless.

A Mini Billboard Penthouse? Yes Please!
 
These billboards are no ordinary structures, with just a face and advertisement print upon them. These are little homes for the homeless people to stay off the streets.
 
One anonymous man behind what is being referred to as the Project Gregory in Slovakia decided to re-purpous the roadside billboards and extend them into economical houses for the homeless!
 
This is still a concept, so  digital visualisations are provided, which feature these stylish little homes as triangular in shape and each of them feature a living area, a bathroom, kitchen, desk and bed. The billboard homes by architecture team DesignDevelop would take place in accommodated areas for the electricity, plumbing and water facilities to be at hand.
 
These homes would be for the homeless people to at least have some sort of housing, while the actual structure serves an economic tool of advertising to fund the little homes! This way when a company seeks the rental of a billboard site, the funds allocated to it, serve as a maintenance step for the homes within the billboard.
 
This is a great idea to help the homeless have a home, comfort and warmth as well as have a billboard which generates money and has the purpose of advertising and promotion of products, all at the same time.

Entering the little home is as easy as climbing a steel ladder stairway.
