Pencil Sharpener

Design Location: Lurzer's Archive Vol 2 2006

Design Firm: Ogilvy & Mather

This is a series of advertisements done for pencil sharpeners. All of the ads look like they are made from the pieces of pencil that come out of the pencil sharpener. This is a really cleaver way to create art. It is detailed but shows the big picture too.

Rose

Design Location: PDN March 2007

Photographer: Serkan Emivoglu

This is a photograph taken that looks real but yet almost illustrated too. Serkan does photography for women's magazines. I am nit sure what it was taken for but, I thought the detail and the texture of the flower's petals looks great. I love how much you can see into it.

Clorox

Design Location: Lurzer's Archive Vol 4 2006







Design Firm/ Designer: Dieste Harmel/ Patricia Martinez & Raymundo Valdez

This is an ad I found for Clorox. The campaign slogan is something to the effect of " this is what babies see" Every item in the ads is a household item that it turned into a food. I think this is a great way to show the power of cleaning with clorox so your baby or you are not eating germs. The concept is great and the graphic design really showcases the product's capabilities. It is not an ad that you say WOW to based on the graphic design but I really loved the concept behind it.

High Priority

Design Location: Print March/April 2007

Design Firm/Designer: Kevin Smith for New York Magazine

This is a really interesting way to view all these little snippets of information. I love the way each set of fingers is positioned but yet they remain the same person's fingers. The text really pops at the background while getting your eye to move to each of the different boxes to get the necessary information.

Barcode Guys

Design Location: How- Self Promotion Design Annual







Design Firm/Designer: Joven Orozco Design/ Joven Orozco

This may be the neatest piece I have found so far. What a great logo. I really love the way the designer used numbers for letters to communicate and the typical barcode lines to make the shapes of the men. Although I am not completely sure what they do, it really has a certain feeling about it and represents the name well.
