BONUS DAY: Apple iPad 2012 billboards...

Giant Apple iPad butterfly billboard
Often technology ads can be a bit dull or too functional, but with a sleek, well-designed and highly-desirable product like the iPad, Apple always makes it seem so effortless.

Daily Billboard loves these fresh creatives for the third-generation iPad with its new Retina display.

Apple claims their new tablet makes everything look crisper and more life-like, plus makes colours more vibrant and these billboards really do help instantly illustrate these key benefits.

The ads look sharp, simple and pop with colour, but most of all really make you want one.

Daily Billboard is once again impressed, and thinks that other technology and also telecommunications advertisers should be envious and take a leaf from Apple's creative approach.

BONUS DAY: Citi MasterCard Google Wallet billboards...

Citi Google wallet billboard
Aside from a nice bright blue that helps these billboards stand out, the campaign isn't that creatively remarkable, but what interesting is that we're at dawn of a new age where financial brands are advertising electronic payment using a smartphone device rather than a traditional physical credit card.

Citigroup may have recently failed The Federal Reserve stress test, but Citi MasterCard debuted their giant-sized billboard on the side of the 9000 building along Sunset Boulevard in December 2011.

They followed this ad with further super-sized billboards in additional locations along L.A.'s Sunset Strip and along Melrose Avenue in February and March 2012.

Daily Billboard also spied this standard landscape 'contacts list' creative along Highland Avenue at Franklin Avenue on March 7, 2012, where it's been for a while now.

Yes it's a simple creative, but the message is also delivered clearly and the large scale ads are certainly attention grabbers.

These advances in technology are always so cool, but Daily Billboard always wonders what happens when your phone runs out of battery life, how do you access you Google Wallet to pay then?

What will you be able to do with your phone next? Start your car? Drive your car? Open the front door to your house? The possibilities are endless and Daily Billboard is sure there'll soon be an 'an app for that'.

Colour iPad2 billboard
You knew it would only be a few short months before it arrived, but here's the next generation iPad 2 from Apple. Daily Billboard just wonders how long before we'll be seeing billboards for the iPad 3.

Regardless of how quickly technology is moving, Apple really does know how to keep things simple and at the same time retain fantastic sleek design, including it seems in its billboard advertising.

This super-sized billboard along Sunset Boulevard really does make an impact with all those new smart covers popping with colour to catch your eye.

Verizon's colourful 4G billboards...

Verizon 4G lte billboard
You have to admire these billboards for Verizon's new 4G lte network service for their vibrancy and colour.

Of course it helps that they have attractive, bright young models that are easy on the eye and the cool design manages to elevate these telecommunications billboards from being too stuffy or full of boring technobabble.

These colourful creatives were snapped along Sunset Boulevard on January 12, 2011.
