In valid
...at the Sainsbury's corral (Supermarket).
Yesterday the aisles were infested with light tan slacks and thin v-neck pullovers as the grey pound came to spend. All big fleshy ears and hands.
Ponderous as elephants. a proliferation too of those grim flesh coloured (that looks like no flesh I know, save maybe a corpse's scrotum) hearing aids that loop over the lobe with a clear acrylic tube that only serves to magnify hair and wax deposits.
Why are disability aids so crap?
Why not just make them look like blue tooth head sets rather than these 'striving to be discrete and achingly obvious because of it, pieces of garbage?
Protective hats for epileptic children are the worst offenders of all.
Timmeah!!! hats.
The infants got enough problems in their life with the illness and other kids innate ability to take the piss without having to make them look like the Edwardian invalid.
Sadly, the money and 'kudos' is in doing stuff like these Bally ads, issues like this tend to get neglected as we all strive to get our work into Wallpaper* magazine.
Design?, Styling? call it what you like, it ain't helping these people!
*rant over...

it's not actually design. hahahahahahah. it's virtual reality life. it's not really there. the girl doesn't really have clothes on. the guy isn't really gay. they're actually having sex but you can't tell, because you're too wraped up trying to figure out if its design.
it's design.

Technically, the photos aren't bad, and as was already mentioned, the shot was likely directed and set up beyond a photogrpaher's perview.
My beef with it is the logo-- it says absolutely nothing beyond "hey, I have no imagination, so I'm gonna use courier."
Frankly, it deosn't suit the image, and it's likely it doesn't suit the product.
That's the real cop-out here.

Thanks, yeah I did all the layout, design, material selection, and typography. Then a signage fabricator did the production and hanging. There was two separate donor walls for each campus of the school with different specs. The idea was screenprinted type on glass so it could be updated with current donors annually.
Its student work but I did everything, including pitching to the deans of design and architecture.
I did my internship at school in a program called CCAC sputnik, a student design team doing the colleges design work.

you got it kid. say, in your portfolio on the last piece on the right, did you create all that?
ive been doing signage for the showrooms i work for and i spec'd some of those aluminum standoffs the glass is attached to. i just ordered more today.
good stuff
