British Airways Ads – Lucy Davey and Andrew Davidson

Lucy Davey and Andrew Davidson were recently asked by advertising agency BBH to work on these great ads for British Airways. Their striking bold flat colours and gorgeous type made them the perfect choice for the clever concept of these guide books. It’s certainly making us tempted to jet off for a glass of bubbly and a city break or a sun filled road trip cruising along with the roof down!
