heroic m&m

I found this poster in the shittiest roadhouse in WA, who couldn't work out how to make me a fricken vegetarian burger. fools.
The poster, however, is really great, and it caught my eye despite being hung up in a stupid position in this dingey shop.
firstly, it is quite obviously done in early modern style; with the characters in a heroic realism stance. the ray bands and gradients are similar to art deco style, but the subject matter is from a leter period. it seems to represent the communist revolution through south america (with the m&m posing as che) , possibly a bit risky as an advertising campain because of the political association. the target audience would probably be too young to realise the seriousness of the connection though.
it is a good design, very centered and bold, and it makes the viewer remember it.
blah.

this is the most amazing web design, found here- http://www.espeluzland.com/
it is very fun to browse, but also a bit creepy. have a look for yourself.

chirp chirp

This is cheap monday jeans company. I really like their logo design and website, so im going to chirp about it for a while. The type is all capitals, and very scattered, much like dada style. The skull looks similar to a woodblock print from medieval art. being in black and white, it is very simple, and the white type on black helps it to stand out. the use of a speech bubble unites the image, and gives emphasis on the brand name. I saw this on my friends ass and thought it rude to photograph it so took the images from www.cheapmonday.com. It is definately successful because i remembered it, and i dont remember much. the design is fun and looks upmarket, not.. well.. cheap. :)
