Subvertisement

So does anyone have plans for Christmas??

Sweet Ad Anthony!

That McDonalds Ad is awesome. I like the heart rate monitor thing thats cool.

Here is my final remix, I'm pretty happy with the changes that I made. I was still able to write an essay on it so thats good I guess.

anthony...

essay is goin alright. since there wasnt really any guidelines per say, im being a bit creative.

using klein mainly to structure the paper as a whole then using some quotes from the others to strengthen a couple points. i hope thats enough.

=>We only have to do one subvertisement
Very nice ad! I like the concept of the heart monitor and nice incorporation of Pricken's book.
Must admit, I encountered a similar problem...Oakley was looking too flawless so now I'm going with GM's Hummer.
How is everyone's essay coming along?
allison

so

do we do 1 or 2 subvertisements? right now i just got 1 and only talked bout in my essay.

That's a pretty sweet advert. I like how you incorporated the ideas from the Pricken book.

Good luck with the essay, now that you actually have material to write about.

Those glue boys are a little too squeaky clean... it makes me suspicious.

Anthony...

so elmer's glue is pretty much a flawless, upstanding corporation, that is incrdibly difficult to subvertise...so i had to change.

here's one idea. its a subvertisement of that mcdonalds sundial ad in pricken book where the shadow reflect on what mcdonalds product to eat.

anthony opinions...

the truck is one is hilarious and good. my issues with the other one stem mainly from the grave itself. using the cross like that has too many religious connotations and misses the point i a little bit.

maybe if you did the traditional oval-topped kinda stone that says RIP _____ it would come off more clear.

I think it should be TREEMENDOUS with the "TREE" in orange - to like up with the other ads.

In addition the orange peel on the grave is a sweet idea, but the spiraling doesn't make sense right now. Might have to rework it.

On the whole both ads feel good... On the whole.

nicki's subs

gimme some suggestions, yo

few changes.

Here's my subvertisement..

Anthony, I really like the slogan "We can fix that". It works perfectly with your ad.
Ian, I like the concept you developed. I think the idea of the heart is somewhat lost with the simpler ad though.

anthony...

i have no idea. its the only possible outside problem someone in a far away land might have with elmer's glue.

I agree the simpler one works better.

Yours is pretty sweet too, really hits home.

I wonder if Elmers is a big brand among glue sniffers... Weird.

Anthony Re.Re.Remix...

Ian, i like the second one. simple and less cluttered. cool.

original:

remix:

another one. a little simpler.

let me know what you think.

ian.

here's my first attempt at a nike subvertisment.

Michelle - remix ads

so these are a few ideas I have for the remix ad lete me know what you think, they still need some improving

Here are my final ads. I adjusted the size of the product text on the top poster in the bottom left hand corner to give it more emphasis.

i even did a third one...

"taking it literally"

Anthony Humpty

next one...parody...

... it's like WHITE glue and WHITE space... TOGETHER...

... you're like SO deep...


In all seriousness I like it.

Ian.

Anthony Ad Attempts...

here's one using repetition and accumulation, as well as creative use of white space.

Anthony Input...

Ian, both those ads are vastly improved. not too sure about the text wrapping around the shoe tho. if you could make it a bit more precise id say keep it, but if not, id just keep the text straight.

ps. erratic attic

pps. popcorn mustache was a success, 85, and 80...not bad. not bad at all.

Thanks for the input Allison. I agree that the "blazer sb" text seems out of place and it was one of my personal criticisms. I had initially wrapped it around the heel like you mentioned, but for some reason didn't stick with it. Perhaps I'll give it another look to see if it compliments the design better.

Thanks again,

Ian.

Ian, I really like your ads. Both of your ads are original and provide a new angle to Nike's advertising campaign. The maze and corresponding slogan complement each other nicely, and the check mark in the maze ties the design together.

You mentioned you were looking for a different slogan for the other ad, but I think the current one you have is effective. And the addition of the text, "use repsonsibly", provides a nice touch of humour to the ad. The only thing I would change is the "blazer sb" text because I think the curving of it creates too much noise and the positioning of it at the top of the shoe detracts from the text at the bottom. Maybe shift the text at the bottom to the left slightly and wrap the "blazer sb" text around the heel of the shoe?

Here's my two new Nike ads. Same goes for the earlier post. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Thanks,

Ian.

hey guys. here's the first of my reworked nike ads. let me know what you think.

I'm still not 100% on the slogan "for the every day get away". If you can think of anything better I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks,

Ian.
