Baby Ad

Another good advertisent for good parenting. Although I believe this advertisement wouldnt get its message across as well with only the visual alone. The tagline is needed to understand exactly what the message is, otherwise it could be misconstreud as some other kind of PSA regarding children.

ADT security

I thought this picture I took of my mother to be a good example of an ad for home security. I liked the concerned/seriousl look on her face and I figured its straight out of an advertisement for ADT home security, so experimenting with the picture, I added the ADT logo which I downloaded a vector version of and placed it on the phot and made some mock-text to simulate an ad. I think it works quite well, but its nothing that hasnt been done before so its not so creative and I definitely woldnt put it in my portfolio.

NRA gitter done

These two concepts I came up with using my photo of an airsoft pistol that I have. One of which would be sort of a public service announcement/ advertisment for the NRA in which it would be insighting people to defend the constitution adn the amendment stating the right to bear arms. The second concept was to be more of an advertisment for the airsoft gun itself and upon looking at it closer, i realize it would be more fit for a website than for printed media. Ive decided to rework and combine both pieces to make a happy medium between the two and something that will work better in print than on screen

Recycle Ad

This is one of the thumbnail examples of a public service announcement advertisment that I considered doing for one of my projects. Instead, I decided to make it a service advertisement and replace the Recycle logo with a TrueGreen/Chemlawn logo. Since I already have an idea for a publick service announcement it seemed more logical to utilize this photo and make it a service advertisment. I plan on reshooting the exact location now in the spring to really show the blossom and bloom and the vitality of the greenage.

Drunk Driving PSA

A very powerful ad about the consequences of drunk driving. Although the ad doesnt say 'This is what will happen to you" it instead allows the viewer to ponder on the message that the poster displays showing a before and after photo of this particular person. It is a strong advertising technique that recently has been used more and more especially for anti smoking campaigns. The gruesome imagery really conveys the point.

Love space

Great example of using positive and negative space and good use of models to coordinate in sync to produce a good visual of the word LOVE. the word is subtle yet totally obvious once youre eye is attracted to the positive space. Great shot in a perfect time of day that really gets that sunny i love you feel to it. great shot in my opinion.

Scary

I found this photo and I immediately was flashed back to my childhood and the imagery reminded me of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark books that I used to read as a kid. The images in those books were so profound and detailed and scary that I will never forget them, and I find it interesting that this artists photograpy manipulation is so reminiscent of those illustrations. I dont know if it was intentional but I definitely relate to this photo on that basis. Below are examples of the illustrations found in the Scary Stories books.
