Vous Jouez Comme Vous Bougez

Leo Burnett ran Nintendo's 'Wii would like to play' campaign, and 'Vous jouez comme vous bougez' (you play as you move) is the French-market line for the same motion-control pitch. Rather than state that the remote tracks real movement, the layout leaves most of the page white and renders a faint sword-stroke trailing from a hand holding the controller, so the negative space reads as the swing. The blank field forces the eye to complete the motion, which is the product demo.
