Blurb(R) Salutes Creativity, Celebrates Ideas in 'Killed Ideas, Vol. 1'
Limited Edition Hardcover Book

'Killed Ideas, Vol. 1' showcases 50 incredible creative marketing ideas that
never saw the light of day

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Blurb(R), the creative publishing and
marketing platform that enables anyone to design, publish, share and sell
bookstore-quality books, today released "Killed Ideas, Vol. 1," a 10x8",
120-page full-color book of the best creative marketing ideas that never saw
the light of day. The book, which is curated by AdRants founder Steve Hall,
has been released as a special limited edition and is not for sale but will be
popping up in various places around the world in the coming weeks. One copy a
day will be given away at www.killedideas.com between now and June 30th.

The ideas in "Killed Ideas, Vol. 1" represent the blood, sweat and tears of
many creatives who poured the best of themselves into their work, which never
ultimately saw production. Photographers, designers, artists and creative
agencies representing more than 31 countries and 170 brands submitted their
best killed ideas to be considered for inclusion in the book. Book curator
Steve Hall selected 50 finalists whose work has now been brought back to life
in "Killed Ideas, Vol. 1." From print to radio to interactive, "Killed Ideas,
Vol. 1" applauds creativity in all forms.

"I was blown away by the creativity we were exposed to over the course of this
project - it's astonishing that some of these ideas remained on the cutting
room floor until now," said Steve Hall, Curator of Killed Ideas, Vol. 1.
"Inside this book, you will find fifty wonderful ideas. Great ideas.
Insightful ideas. Ideas that should be appreciated. Ideas that should have an
audience beyond their creator."

"For the Blurb team, it was truly inspiring to be involved in this project,
and to bring these ideas to life in a book for them to be shared, kept, and
experienced," said Eileen Gittins, founder and CEO, Blurb. "Congratulations to
all whose work is represented in Killed Ideas, Vol. 1. We celebrate rampant
creativity daily, and you're the reason we do what we do - awesome work, all!"

"It was so incredibly rewarding to see our campaign come to life in a bound,
professional book instead of a crappy little ink jet," said finalist Peter
Bossio, whose campaign "The #1 Celebrity News Magazine" is featured on pages
42-43 in "Killed Ideas, Vol. 1." "More importantly, a true creative lives,
eats, and sleeps their ads, so to see it in print validates every sleepless
night and all the lost hours with loved ones."

Want to vote for the ideas you think deserve recognition? People's Choice
voting is open now through June 30th at www.killedideas.com.
