MYFav of 2010: Religion is Dead!

I received this flier in the mail and immediately it caught my eye.  I realized it was for a local church’s campaign geared toward awakening the community to the difference between religion and relationship with Christ.  The use of the image and text posted on the fence was a great concept for the campaign’s message.  In addition the use of the colors and typography was also appropriate.

Raining with Creativity

Browsing through Essence magazine, I came across this advertisement.  At the bottom of the ad it reads: The simplest moments are the most refreshing. I believe that this composition’s use of creative concepts contributes to the advertisement’s statement at the bottom. Chili, a singer, and her son in the background appeal to the demographics for Essence Magazine.  From the water falling in the background we get the notion of “dancing and singing in the rain”; that is, enjoying what life brings. We also see the oversized Dasani water bottle serving as figure.  The bottle’s placement makes it appear 3D and it made me want to just reach out and grab it.   The ad delivered the message before I read the bottom lines. 

The Nature of Creativity

Browsing through Money Magazine, I came across this ad for Kia. Kia did a great job at using nature vs. technology to make a statement about the Kia Forte.  The black background makes it easy to see the camel with spots.  We know that camels are animals that can go a long distant without having to stop; however, we have never seen a camel with spots!  This is like a cross between a leopard and a camel!  In between the camel and the vehicle are the words: Fast and Fuel efficient!  Also the bottom of the ad begins, “The world has never seen anything like this…”   The ad did a great job at delivering the message using creativity.
