Ads



Advertising is a big part of design in today's world. Advertisements can range from commercials to sculptures and everything in between. Generally people think of a boring commercial or a billboard with a picture of alcohol, however, there are some diverse advertisements out there that were designed to catch your attention. No everyone will stop to read a billboard or watch the commercials between televisions but advertisements such as this are hard to turn away from.

What if you were walking in the park and came across this bench? I believe that most people would take more then just a glance out of this. This took a creative designer who knew that people just aren't interested in the conventional ads. He knew that something such as a bench not really serving its purpose would draw the attention and even get the point across.
Here is another unconventional advertisement, even though it is only a picture it still has a message. From first glance you want to see why this girl has a post it on her forehead. Further examination shows that it is her name. This tells pretty much the whole story. This guy try to avoid not remembering her name in the morning after what seems to be a one night stand sticks a post it on her head to remember her name. This one again draws attention because of its uniqueness and humor.
Through examining these advertisements I would say that going the unconventional route get the message across more clear. If someone is entertained by the design of the advertisement or the meaning behind it they are more likely to remember it and discuss it with their peers.
