I like the use of the strapline with the image as works in kind of a jokey way which i feel makes the images more appealing. I like the simple vector style and simple use of colour.

180 Amsterdam

I like how the suited the type is to each of the images and relates to aspects of the image. The paint effect one reflects the motion and fluidity of the sport and this followed well through the type being hand written.

The more photographic design led design works well against the angled type. Not entirely sure the angled type works with some of there photos but i feel works along side this one.

I'm not sure both of the designs really reflect what they say about themselves as company who doesn't do the obvious and turns round and does something different. The muddy poster is a bit different and i feel the style is similar to silhouette style adverts but the whole approach that they had of rugby players running into a sheet of fabric after been covered in paint to create the effect does add i think adds to the dynamism of the poster rather than something thats photoshopped.

I like the top due to time taken and how it kind of reflects that each of part of the bike is personal to that person as its custom made and their own personality comes across through the bike. I think that the type builds on this with it being handwritten.

I think this personal customisation comes across in the second one through the type and i like how the type makes up the image.

I do see aspects of their mission statement within the work as this does try to create a personal vision of the bike company for the audience which i do think it gets across quite nicely in their posters.

Euro RSCG

The Harpic ad gets across the idea quite nicely through the use of the packaging it self with no real body copy or strap line to get across the idea. But this isn't, again an image which works without explanation, this is the same bottom image as well. These more photoshopped adverts seem to try to get the message across through the image but never work with some type to explain the message.

This main use of the image to get the idea across within promotion is something i try to get across with my work in briefs such as my Doritos brief.

RPA: Rubin Postaer and associates

I how the layout and use of the image makes you look at the image again. Through the fact the image is a play on the words that you read after the image it makes you glance at the image again. I Like the zebra TV idea but the idea comes across as a little dull and feel more depth could have somehow been added to make the zebra stand out more.

Tierney Communications

The more type driven work within the truffle poster works well the range in sizes and arrangement for the type, it forces someone to read it a little slower than normally would and it plays quite nicely against the image of the wine and truffle image and i along with statement giving a quality to the truffle through the use of the serif type faces and ornaments.

The bus stop poster the image works quite well in getting the idea the bulb sucking a lot of energy and the bat but not sure on the use of the amount of type at the bottom as it seems to be lost after the image, not sure many people would really read it all.

I like the literal interpretation of the strap line in the Ikea one and how the person is slightly out of shot. It's quite a nice play on words which allows them to be a bit more creative with the image. I like how the back image looks more like a shop environment with the price tags and the information books on the wallpaper.

Maclaren McCann

I really like how the frame of the advert within this isn't seen as a restriction to the image and i like how it breaks out.

Campbell Mithum

The headphones idea works quite nicely in getting the idea of the strapline across, I think the fact that something isn't quite right in the image makes it more interesting.

The repubulicans poster does come across as being quite jokey in an american way and i think i probably understand it better if obviously was american.

I like simple adjustment of the image on the top image to expand on the strapline which is fairly clear and i think the image just plays of this and simply makes the advert more appealing. 

BBDO

I like how the words are shaved off on this leaving it to be read differently. I like how the positioning of the razor is always at the end of the bit shaved off, i think it makes it a little bit clearer to know where to look.

GSD&M Idea City

I like the layout of the top design and feel the river works nicely in letting you follow it to the ship. I like the orange toned background with the various silhouette style imagery, not entirely sure the ship fits with this, I know they wanted some contrast between the ship and the background but it would be better if the ship sat better with the background style in some way.


Not sure what the bottom design is exactly about but i does look quite interesting.

Jonathan Knowles

Knowles work is a nice play with word through the use of the image rather than the type and seems to come after the strapline as the type tends to explain more within these ads as the image doesn't make much sense by its self.

cawley-nea TBWA

The irish times is a nice play on the words and works very well in getting across the message. I prefer the layout of this to many of the over posters as because the image comes after the type the message is somewhat clearer and understood quicker.

With and without type

More type and image

Image and Type

The image doesn't always say the full message particularly in advertising where there is generally text which adds to the message and makes it clearer. In an advert when the text and other elements are removed their isn't a message the image is seen differently. This is a photograph by Jim Fiscus.

When the type is added a message is added how its looked at is changed
