fate, i want you to copy and paste that post in a word doc and save it. as a designer you would bow down to a brand strong enough to push an ad like that.

designerror, because those are just bits and pieces from a full-fledged Flash website :p
Bonseff, I don't see it as strong though. I see it as playing it safe, boring, uncreative, and weak.

fate... following your logic (if we understand correctly) would be like saying that Paula Scher shouldn't take credit for the Citi Bank logo since all she did was throw a red arch over the already established word mark. No?

and i just about cried.

Naw, I think I was right.
All you do is hate. Please 2cent, educate.

Fate, I went to a very conceptual school for design, even had a thesis class to get a BFA and the realities of the professional world is that you will feel lucky when the slightest concept remains after the client gets a hold of it. Unless, of course, if you blessed with very wealthy, educated and sensitive clients.

my mom has a gang of old national geographics from the 70's. all the ads in there are pretty classic, just a strong image and a tag + logo. much like the one you posted only its selling a vw beetle. it is design.
not completely done my some kid at a computer pushing pixels around listening to tool on the headphones or someshit. but a collaborative effort

think = thick.

Bonseff, that's fine if the photo+logo succeed. But I think it's fair to apply the same objective measures of good design to an advertisement. And I think, objectively, the Bally ads fail.
2cents, what exactly did you profess? You called me "clueless", "kid", "thick"... Like I said from the start, you never really contribute anything.
