Overview

OAAA’s Creative Library is less a traditional course and more a visual study tool. It lets advertisers and creative teams browse real out-of-home work across categories, years and award types, including billboard campaigns, digital design, contextual work, copywriting, data use, 3D anamorphic digital and custom installations. For creative development, this kind of reference is valuable because OOH is learned partly by seeing what survives the constraints of distance, scale, short exposure time and physical context. Teams can use the library during briefing, concept development and review to study how strong OOH ideas simplify copy, exploit location, use the shape of the medium and create visual impact.
