Good or Bad Design Ads

For this assignment we were to research ads that caught our eye, and discuss how we felt about that ad.  Below are ads from magazines and packages that I found either horrible or perfect for the targeted audience.

This front cover is simple, has a breathe taking image that is clean, with reverse bold font, and brings to the readers eye.  As a photographer wanting to know more about black & white photography this would definitely catch my attention.

Box Bottle Bag shows visually die cutting for the essential product, embedded with various colors to make this design standout.  Love this particular work for it's variations of style.

For this front cover I do not like the differences in font and the bold pink GLAMOUR accrossed the models face.

 Final  Rough

For the direct mail project  I chose to do a 7 by 5 inch layout.  What better way to use this opportunity to do it over my photography.  The objectives for this project are to keep the same layout, and have 3 different things that change example( photos, name, text) also the address.  Targeted audience graduates looking for professional portraits or even males or females for business criteria.
