Audi

This image created by the ad agency Kempertrautmann is extraordinarily clever. The ad is for the (then) new Audi Quattro and communicates the superior road grip that the car possesses. I love this so much because before I even new exactly what the ad was promoting, I knew that it was about a can being able to stay on the road better. Very clever and very effective in my opinion.

A Lion Named Roar

I really enjoy this poster for A Lion Named Roar done by Ben Whitesell. It's sort of reminiscent of Jason Munn's work, but has a few more frills to it, such as the borders. The poster was created to celebrate the band's first EP release in 2012.

Hertz

I love these ads by Studio AKA. They are very reminiscent of A.M. Cassandre's work, and I love the Art Deco style.

Savannah Music Festival

This illustration by Brian Stauffer for the Savannah Music Festival in Savannah, Georgia is just beautiful. I love the dual symbolism of the piano and the field of flowers.

Macy's Flower Show

Every year, the Macy's Flower Show is a herald of the beginning of spring, and is looked forward to by millions across the country. This illustration done by Olaf Hajek is the perfect advertisement for this event. The explosion of colors and life in this piece serve to catch the eye to the extreme and I can only imagine how these colors would explode off of outdoor advertising in the weeks and months preceding, contrasted by the bleak white of waning winter.

My Morning Jacket

I have a new appreciation for screenprinting after two workshops where I basically made ALL of the rookie mistakes. That said, I love this print by John Solimine for a My Morning Jacket show at Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn. It's wonderfully illustrated and the composition is great. I also love the fact that it's a three color print, and the layering of the colors gives more color combination options. I really want to try something like that in the future.

No Butts About It (that was terrible, I'm so sorry...)

I really enjoy this very simple and humorous ad for for an artist representative agency. I wasn't able to find an artist name for this particular ad, but I applaud them for their humor and style. In my mind, this is the perfect amount of illustration to ad to this picture. Any less, and you lose the image of the cat, and any more and you lose the connection to the construction worker. Very well done, whoever you are.
