Annie Leibowitz shoots the ‘Holy Trinity of Football’ for Louis Vuitton

Posted on 04. May, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.

Thankfully for Annie Leibowitz [who is still apparently up to her neck in debt] Louis Vuitton have offered her another gig. This time it has a World Cup 2010-flava and the brief was to shoot Pelé, Maradona and Zidane in one room big enough for their egos and to try capture them without their fingers in each other’s eyes.

So here’s the shot.

It was the moment just before Maradona fell to the floor with a broken ankle claiming that he’s been drugged by Leibowitz and Zidane kneed Pelé in the sweets for messing with the foosball scoring system. Afterwards Zidane left in a huff with his luggage saying that he thought he also overheard Pelé telling Maradona that his dog was a bitch.

Good times.

Steven Gerrard – the first star in the new animated Adidas football ads

Posted on 09. Oct, 2009 by Jonathan Cherry.

Leading up to 2010, we’re hopefully going to see a whole lots of creative innovation from the sponsoring brands that have been granted devine permission to do so by FIFA.

Adidas is one such brand who recently launched a brand new animated football campaign based on a graphic novel. Follow Zidane as he assembles the greatest players in the world into one dream team.

Interesting execution of the ‘Super Striker’ idea.
