This is a certificate, found at www.aeonmultimedia.com.au, advertising a company's enviromentally friendly practices. It is simply for informing customers, and also probably to attract more business from enviromentally aware people.
It's designed to look very fresh, using only greens, blues, white, and a bit of black for the text. It obeys the rule of thirds, with the picture taking up two thirds of the picture and the information underneath taking up one third. The entire picture pretty much conveys what's needed without any text, with the wind turbines and the colours saying 'clean' and 'fresh'. The text in the middle is clean and neat, fitting in the theme. The spiral of pale spots helps draw in the eye, and I like the way they've fitted it in with the flare on the closest turbine. This is also the logo in the bottom right hand corner, which ties it all together.
I think it's a really pretty piece of graphic design... it's easy on the eyes and says what it's trying to say without any fuss or need for lots of typography.

Nissan Pathfinder Ad


This is an advertisement for a car. The purpose of the ad is to sell the car, and they do that by drawing attention to all the features it does have by showing an unbelievable feature that it doesn't. It has a black background which makes the silver car stand out as the main subject. It's clean and neat with a level of sophistication as well. I like the simplicity, and the way the whole thing looks kind of together. The picture came from: http://www.adsneeze.com/media/2008/02/nissan-pathfinder-advert-2.jpg

Tomato Sauce!



I found this advertisement on google. I just love the simplicity and almost child-likeness of the cardboard eggs and bacon. It's very balanced and uses only neutral colours to make it look bland and boring, but of course, to emphasise the red tomato sauce bottle. I think it works really well because the white caught my eye, and the clever idea amused me. I think it would appeal to a wide audience, basically anyone who likes tomato sauce!
