Collaborative aka "Book Page"

I wanted to do a collage style portrait displaying my current and possibly unhealthy obsession with online shopping. Since I have a good amount of packages lying around the house I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate those actual pieces into my collage.

Fail

You know when you finally receive that package that you've been waiting for and you're just so happy and full of excitement that its finally here and you want to open it right away and you're trying so hard to get it open and you wonder why its taking so long to open then you finally get it open and you wonder why it took so long to open in the first place?

Yea well, yea:

Ad Inspirations

A few unique ads I found:

Type is dominant in this ad. Since the ad has a lot going on it was a good idea to allow some negative space between the central image and large text .


I like this ad because of its clever use of imagery. Once again negative space helps to create breathing room and as the ad states, separates the actual product from the pack.


Literal and unexpected approach to an ad about allergies. Creates a relationship with the viewer since a good majority of people, including myself, know just how that guy feels.


This one caught my eye a while back and I had been meaning to scan it in. Just one photograph and one simple graphic combine to create a very effective and creative ad.






Thought I'd post a few old school ads as well:

Simple ad showcasing the relationship between cereal and milk. Let's be friends!










Weird and literal. Love it!

Envelope............with the address ;)

After all that work, I forgot to add the address to the most important piece of the stationery, the envelope. I thought of putting the address beneath the café but it seemed like the letters were fighting with each other so I decided to move the address up and substituted the arrow in the additional space to allow some breathing room between it and café.


Yay or nay?
