Bad Time vs Good Time

This Macy's Watch add is terrible. It is visually crowded and the principal product is  unclearly depicted. The text is difficult to read and you dont get a feel for the concept of the slogan in fine print. Its irrelevant. It cheapens the Macy's name and when I see it I see mediocracy not only in product but customer service. 

This Tiffany's ad is tried and true to the Tiffany & Co Brand. Its clear, simple and classic. The product is depicted clearly and you can see the quality. This ad is straight forward in the advertisement of  their new watch collection.  The visual simplicity and touch of that famous blue makes this ad alluring and wanting to see what that little blue box has in store. That is why Tiffany's & Co is associated with classic, fine quality goods for many so many generations. This reminds me of the  best advice I got from my high school teacher was K.I.S.S. KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. This ad is simplistically sophisticated! 

Why this Class?

They say curiosity killed the cat then count me as dead! I've always been fascinated by advertising. The creativity, imagination and messages you can express through vision alone astounds me. Thus one of  the reasons why I am in this class. Secondly I am independent  fashion designer with an entrepreneurial spirit. I have been taught that the key to any company's success is  brilliant advertising and marketing. In late 2010 I decided to start my own high fashion skateboard line and I feel that mastering and understanding advertising design will only further my success as a grassroots designer.  DATA is his name and he is currently in the development phase.
