Earth Day Sticker

This is a sticker I saw on the website www.zazzo.com. It's a website where anyone can get their designs put onto products that are then sold. The sticker is advertising Earth Day. It's a simple, cute design that uses bold outlines and strong colour. I think the design is pretty good, I'm not a big fan of the font used, however, to me it doesn't seem to match the design. The font used has curls and though it's somewhat remimniscent of the art noveau period, I think something a little simpler may have worked better.

I like the design, it's cute and at the same time gives the earth a delicate feel, like it could be crushed underfoot.

Coffee!

I found this while browsing the Internet... it comes from http://www.coloribus.com/adsarchive/?from_tracker. Looks like a good site but you have to subscribe to browse freely and its grossly overpriced. But anyway........

Who could not love this ad - it is somewhat reminiscent of the art deco era with the geometric shapes, large areas of the same colour, the large typography, all in capitals and of course the sunrays! (or moonbeams maybe..?) Also has a definite heroic realism about it, because we all know that coffee is the answer to the worlds problems...!

The ad is divided up in the classic way, with the coffee statue taking up two thirds of the page. Down the right bottom hand corner is the slogan and a picture of the product which contrasts quite strongly to what's happening in the background of the page, which is chaotic, while the picture of the product is quite serene and tranquil.

I really like how they've done this, they made the image of the coffee into this statue made of gold and made it look so big and important. I think they did a great job of this.
