amazing tv ads from the last couple weeks

These two ads are very different, but both are extremely effective. They both give that butterfly feeling I get when I see something that really clicks. There's currently a better audi ad on tv but I couldn't find a clip of it. Sorry, can't make the video fit in the screen!

profile type photos

These are really great photos to accompany a profile type article. I don't always like photo-shoot type portfolios but these feel a lot more artistic than typical PR stock photos.

I didn't read through the words that accompany the photos so I can't vouch for writing.

matt and kim

this link is a video of a whole 30 minute concert of Matt and Kim playing at an outdoor concert in Brooklyn two summers ago. They're so cool. The video gets you really excited cause of how awesome they are, and then sad that you aren't there right now.

urban studies blog

My urban studies class has this website where every week we are supposed to post an image that relates to the class. There are a lot of really interesting photos of slums, urban landscapes, etc. so over time the site should have a nice pile of photos to check out. Nothing is posted yet, but the first batch of photos should be up by tomorrow.

the photo is the cover of one of the books for the class.

So when I was doing this in illustrator the graininess of the image was a lot more evident and it looked really grungy and old and nice. When I saved it as a pdf it became a lot cleaner and the circles and stuff became clearer and more obviously made in illustrator which I'm a little disappointed about. At some point I think I'll try it again and make the original photo in photoshop a lot grainier so the illustrator work remains more hidden.
