Bad Ads

I cannot think of another commercial than Education Connection that I hate more. And judging from the youtube comments, I'm guessing most people feel the same. I think it's the perfect example of where trying to be "hip and trendy" went horribly wrong.


I know people love these things, but the commercials are just too tacky. You would think they were ads from the 1980s. Bad ones.

The wanta fanta girls will definitely get in the song in your head, but the last thing you will want is a fanta when the song starts driving you crazy.


What is going on here? Is this necessary?

They mean well, but something is really unsettling about their delivery. I like most of the ads in this campaign, but it's just this shower one that really seems like it's trying too hard.

Updated Wine Bottles

Don't know how obvious it is from the pics, but my new wine box has a clear plastic window that you can see the character through when the bottle is placed inside. When the box is empty, the interior through the window is a solid color. I'm much happier with this box than the one I showed at critique. I'm playing off the 'toy' feel of the bottles and I think it works! I also completely re-did the paper tabs to make them movable and cleaner (no more glue on the bottle). I'm actually really happy with how this turned out!

Wine Bottles in Progress

I still need to add the paper tabs that wrap along the necks of the bottles. They will be the corresponding color to the illustrations, adding a little more color. I also need to rub down the last of the silver type on the backs, but it will look like this:

The box is coming together well, just need to put it together and get some photos on here...

Sticky N' Sweet 2.0

I definitely think the little bit of color on the background makes a huge difference. Thanks for the suggestions. I did add some subtle stars in there to make it seem more outer-spacey, but I want it to be kind of abstract so I didn't go to far with them. Whaddaya guys think?

Sticky N' Sweet

I'll probably change a few more things on it, but I'm pretty happy with it thus far.
