Anything can kings? - creative advertising asks. For example, Elizabeth II now and then has to participate in cleaning windows, and she hardly likes it.

Advertising posters for the Red Cross are a creative mix of drawing and photography. Yes, the idea that someone needs a roof over their heads and someone drowns without a life buoy is not new.
