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?

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.

2cent, you are a gentleman

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.

And fashion design? No. Even textbook, you're way off the mark. That's not fashion design, that's selling fashion design.

2cents, I wasn't addressing anyone with the initial comments like "banal" dude. I wasn't getting nasty with anyone, and I've been respectful of everyone's opinions.
Except yours, because you just come dick-swinging into my threads in order to be a cock.

right rise, but it's not isolate to them. I've seen plenty of "designers" claim slapping logos on photos in their portfolios.
I just don't think it should be called design. If you want to look at the whole shabang, from concept, to shooting, to logo-slapping-on, to the pitch, then I can consider other definitions like "Art Direction" or "Production"
But calling that ad (graphic) design is like calling yourself an Novelist for being able to use a keyboard.

"I hope you guys don't think I'm tryin to be combative. Just being pedantic while asking for other opinions."
after you said...
"I think with something so obviously banal ("Ok, look brooding and elitist! Like all those other ads!") whatever "designer" slapped that logo on there shouldn't be taking credit for it. Because a monkey could do it."
and...
"Oh, I'm sure the bullshit they fed the client to convince them this was "unique" and "growing the brand" took ages to prepare. Good bullshit for bad execution, especially something as boring as this, can take a long time to script. I bet it was pages of malarky."
so you're not trying to be combative... or i think a better word would be... belligerent?
i just tell it like i see it dude... sorry if it hits a sore spot with you, but you really have no idea what you're talking about here... once you put some time in doing real design work for a real agency/studio you'll understand what goes into something like this.
the ad is selling the clothes and the clothing designer... thats fashion design.
