McDonalds Going Creative

I dislike advertising in general. The idea of cable TV was that you'd pay for it, and so there would be no commercials. Look how long that lasted. That said though, I do think that sometimes people put enough effort into commercials that they are entertainment in their own right. This has reached a height in the commercials during the Superbowl, but occasionally you'll see a really great one during the rest of the year.

I saw this the other day, and thought it was really interesting. I'm digging the animation style, and the subtlety that is uses. The McDonalds logo isn't shown until the very end, and really the only specific thing they are advertising is apple juice. Yet you get 30 seconds of really cool animation for it. And of course it's in HD on Youtube, which makes it that much better.


 

Why I'm Not a Graphic Design Major

I've been playing around with different looks, and this is the coolest one I've done.



The best one being a monocolor-ish piece of crap. Coding I can do any day. Art, not so much.
 

A Lonely Chair

Ignored it sits, waiting in vain to fulfill it's purpose.

I took these several days ago at the last alumni open house for John Marshall High School, in Cleveland, OH. We went because my dad went to high school there, and wanted to see it one last time before it was torn down and rebuilt. I was in the basement was sitting on one side of an underground track, and saw this chair across from me, just sitting there, ignored by everyone walking back. Even later when someone sat down, he sat down close to it, but not on it. It just struck me as a poignant scene, so I took some photos.
