They didn't have to think about type. And Wink didn't create that logo.

but some body had to crop the photo and place the logo to balance

I think the difference between "I could do that" and "I did that" is quite obvious.

who took the photo? well, if it's some random weirdo sitting in a room, taking images given to them, and logos given to them. then it's borderline. not so sure bout that.

and to the point of ad design being the status quo..
well there is the school of thought that if it ain't broke, dont fix it. and then there's, if it ain't broke, break it.
when it comes to fashion, tho former seems to be the safe bet.
product + sexy photo + logo =
laugh to bank easy peasy

i dont know, i alway get assets of image and logo..
i treat the image, crop it and place the logo.

look this isn't some production monkey freelancer in a dim lite basement doing these types of ads, there's alot of hands in this. AD, CD, retouchers, designer, production/prepress designer, and clients. There is design going on here.

usually in photos like that, the composition is what it is, no cropping necessary. but the set up was very intentional
- MrDinky0
most good GDs treat the images to make it better
and that doesnt mean color matching
- jdcomba0
no, it is design. i'm not borderline. what i see is design.
- MrDinky0
if u ever got an image and asked to place a logo on top of it, i don think ur job title changes
- BonSeff0
and memo to fate,
good on you to get some design discourse going on here. dont take anything in this thread as a flame
- tkmeister0
the definiton of design is really vague. what is design to you may not be design to somebody else.
good luck@

There is process, intent, purpose and execution. It communicates and solves a problem.
Its Design.
- MrDinky0
i dont think anyone is discourging fate.
its all good, we are just pointing out from the view of the GDs in here
- MrDinky0
