Advertising!

These are cool. I like retro cartoon look and I also enjoy the woodgrain texture in the background. Some issues may arise about the use of pink for a steakhouse, but it doesn't bother me.





I Like.


Reminds me of some of Paula Scher's past work.









These Schick Quattro ads feel really original. They would capture my attention in a magazne.





This ad is weak. I guess they were going or humor, but I'm not sure if that's the right tone for an emergency room.




What I enjoy most about this campaign, is that it's not only informing, but it is also educating. Before seeing it, I did not know that unused prescription medicine could be donated.





These were done for the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History. The tagline is "you won't leave the way you come." These really peak my interest in this place. The name of place sounds as if it would be one of those boring field trips that you take with you 5th grade class, but the ads are light and fun.






These strike a cord, especially since we worked on the Get Out the Vote campaign last year. I enjoy how clean the layout is and the minimal color palette.






This is a really simple, yet attention grabbing and personal campaign. It really takes you back to being a kid, and jotting stuff down on your hand or giving yourself tatoos (well atleast thats what I used to do and then everyone would say " your'e gonna get ink poisoning"). HA!





I want to do something like this someday really soon, even if it's just a personal project. I like the use of color and composition.



I find these ads intersting to say the least.

Kehinde Wiley is a New York based painter. I'm unsure of his inspirations but alot of his work reminds me of Senegalese photographer Seydou Keita. These pieces are from a currently running exhibition and portray images of fallen warriors, saints, and classical mythology.
