Loved this ad in i-D’s magazine (no. 315). It has nothing to do with his designs but it’s still an effective and interesting ad. Then again the style and oddness of the ad gives me a feel of what his designs may possibly be like; you don’t always have to show the product to attract people.
This has to be one of the best books I have EVER purchased!! I love the content so much! The name does sum up some of the work though, but in a very good way; and I feel that my work is also quite naive so perhaps this is why I love it so much!! Lots of screen-printed textures, overprints, illustrations, lots of colour, handmade textures, posters and fun graphic design elements are featured in this book. Get it here.
One of the best ad’s I’ve seen at the minute is this Orange ad. I think this is one great way companies can cut costs on advertising, make there adverts more interesting/curious and play around with the format; then again it may have cost orange more money because of the awkward format. Besides it’s a great ad and I felt I had to share it! Even the character jumping down at the end, all the black space and the way in which the ad is like a journey in it’s self works fluently and runs well.
UPDATE: Just seen that YCN’s Fernando Volken Togni is the creator of these fun illustrations! There’s an article on the YCN website here (about this particular ad – ‘3:10 to Yuma’ ) and here (with all of the orange ads).
Here’s another example from American Express. This ad isn’t as interesting but still it’s more than just a 4 sided boxed ad in the corner of the paper and it stands out more than others.
…and her work! Wish everyone wore these shoes. Brilliant.
Sorry I haven’t posted properly within a month either…
This is exactly why I do not buy this paper. Below are some front page ‘headlines’ from this week’s Daily Express newspapers. Really? Headlines? I know I usually post about design and other creative stuff on here but I felt like I needed to post something about it. I’m sure it will get really cold but they are just taking it to the extreme. There is too much panic in the world as it already is. Anyway. Rant over 🙂
By the way my parents get the Express not me. I’ll stick to my i Paper thanks.
