Weetabix advert

I can't understand why weetabix haven't gone down the idea of someone's had their weetabix today? It is such a common saying so the advert works perfectly there is almost a sense of the tenseness that you get when watching a real race and you have to stop yourself and actually think no it's a human in a race against horses where it is impossible yet the humor it portrays makes the advert memorable and entertaining which so many adverts on t.v. don't do. most such as the go compare advert seem to go out of your way to irritate you. The advert was designed to almost be so irritating yet it makes you switch it over. strange

"I've never stuck to one view of what is good in design. My personal goals have always been: to help organizations to express themselves, in their own particular way, for the benefit of anyone with whom they’re involved. And do this in a way that brings value to everyone and to the world that we all share."

Looking at carton packaing I came across this packaging for graphic designers end of year show. THe idea is clever but doesn't represent the fresh theme that seems like an obvious concept for the product. I think there are ways in which this can be improved to a better concept as currently the design doesn't necessary represent the students although the design is visually pleasing.

These designs work well as a concept. The brochures are to be displayed in the public with foot traffic. The idea of having noughts and crosses making the brochures interactive is a clever idea makes people want to pick up the brochures. It may be some concept I need to develop with tag pac.

Reforestación Extrema

Reforestación Extrema is a non-profit organization searching the reforestation of lost green areas and trees in different cities in Mexico. They are in charge of renewing sidewalks, parks and public spaces as well as the conservation of mature trees in the cities. For this brand, we decided to use a logotype that made reference to a natural figure, in this case a tree that represented the actions and vision of Reforestación Extrema. This solution allows the use of stencil application for urban surfaces with a simple and easy to replicate figure.
