What is Graphic Design? Advertising

"Graphic Design is simple and effective"


Lego Advertisements

The following lego advertisements are simple, concise but most importantly, nostalgic. An aeroplane, dinosaur, ship and tank can all be represented through simple lego structures - something as complex as a ship can be created using 2 lego blocks showing the versatility of lego and the essence of childhood imagination.

HP Printers

These ads promote the high quality and realistic finish of HP prints. The photos are so realistic infact, that they almost seem 3D. It requires little text as the imagery speaks for itself; they have simply added the HP logo and 'High quality printing'. From looking at this and then seeing the image as a whole, you can immediately tell what the concept is.

Fizz

Although I am not as fond on hand-rendered outcomes as opposed to digital outcomes, I really like the use of typography in the following advertisements. The illustrations compliment the mass amounts of text yet the concept (even the brand itself) is hard to distinguish.
