More often than not, advertising campaigns are wasteful endeavors that leave our urban environment plastered with billboards and banners, but the UK startup Curb Media hits all the right notes with their innovative and sustainable ad installations. Curb Media is not a design agency -- instead the group specializes in the production of eco-friendly advertising mediums. Using completely natural materials, they have developed communication methods that will turn heads with an ultra-low carbon footprint. If you have never heard of terms like sea tagging, logrow, or rake ads, take a look after the jump to see some of these incredible installations.
One painstaking piece that really grabbed our attention was this image created on wood of President Obama. As an example of what their artisans can create, the team made this very large graphic using only a sheet of wood and a magnifying glass! The stunning work took 85 hours to complete, but the effort paid off. Curb Media told Inhabitat that the senate says this piece is hanging in the White House. That is what we call some fantastic exposure!
