I saw this ad on Dark Roasted Blend and couldn’t resist re-showing it to the world. For anyone who’s ever sat in traffic, this ad makes perfect sense! (I’d know, I live in Orange County, CA)
Every designer has heard the tired old expression “form follows function”. Well, the following designers took that and tossed it out the window. This is more Function follows form. Every one of these was designed with surroundings in mind, materials accounted for and logistics calculated. The agencies that produced these must have made a buck or two in their days of glory.

Sadly, there’s some things we’ll never get away with in the US. Thank you censorship and ruining of my first amendment! But actually thank you internet for giving me the power to actually spread the design wealth of ads like these. The internet is GREAT for freedom of speech! TAKE THAT HIPPIES!
Thanks Brandon Jaime for the link.

Why Me? has posted some hilarious ads from Live Poker Magazine. These ads show how something so controversial can really grab someone’s attention. They also have great photography and a simple headline in the bottom corner makes it so there’s no distraction from the ads themselves.

Wanted a fresh new look to compete with other clothing ads in their chosen advertising magazine (southland golf magazine). Direction was for something modern, cutting edge, with supplied logos and photography.
Finally, an ad that has that “National” feel to it. This was the diamond in the rough of design assignments at Churm Media.
