Outdoors

         

The design I choose is from originally from a Miami Ad School and it is featured on Ads of the World's website. I chose this because I really like the typeface in this design and the pictures of the animals, looks like it was drawn out maybe. The ad for a company that makes outdoor gear. I thought it was a very interesting way of trying to persuade someone to buy outdoor gear.

Misconception

I chose this ad from Ads of the World; it was done by SOS Ideas, an ad agency in India. At first I thought it was an animal ad, so that is why I clicked on it to read more. As I looked closer, I noticed in the right hand corner it says "Save Kolkata's Endangered Architecture" and repeated it in the description. Of course my curiosity lead me to search it to find out more. 

Long story short, Kolkata is a town in West Bengal, India. West Bengal is has been going through a depression, so since the 90s the government had been selling homes families could no longer afford to people who were not even residents of India, they were abroad in countries like America. Due them not living there, the non residents of India do not maintain these houses. I got this information from theguardian.com, and there is a huge article if your interested. A little history lesson goes along with the ad.

Back to a graphic design standpoint, the pandas in the middle of the image were definitely deceiving. I am not sure what purpose they really serve. They could enlarge the text a bit as well. Overall, now that I know the history behind it, there could be a lot of ideas that would help get the point of the campaign. 

Red Hot Chili Peppers

So I chose to put this in my blog because first of all I am a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and this is literally what I picture in my head whenever I hear their name. The design was done by an advertising agency in Brazil called Acesso; I found it on Ads of the World. I just thought it was a very cool interpretation.
