Why Not Vintage ads






I rebuilt and I took some last minute feedack from Liz into conciderdation. There where some tweeks and some inconsistensies or rather too many typefaces. I also sharpened the logo and slogan background for a clean edge. These are "minor" changes, but we have to be meticulous. Oh yeah I also changed the pattern back drop. Yes. It was not missed. The interuption in the pattern was a distraction. The new pattern is part of the same pattern for the small ones. I feel like I learned alot from meeting with Liz. I left with questions I had to ask myself like what is the difference beween plain and minimal? Things that I would love to research with more time, leisure and mind capacity. hehe I also had to re-view my stationary there is a major overlook that I was not aware of and that is keeping the image with the logo typeface together at least in once so that the audience knows that it one logo together.
BUT I still had color printing issues. This is weird because once.. when I was ahead of the game... I printed and there were no problems and NOW I really don't know what do I have used alot of paper and many different printer settings and both printers at the DA. Will anyone share their test print template or solution with me?
thank you.

collage it up




I have created these collages from these antique LIFE magazines. I purchased these magazines at Kudzu antique market in Decatur GA. It's an amazing place to visit. It is right next to the Dekalb Farmers Market (hint hint).
I purchased magazines from 1943, 1966, and 1971 and have had fun making collages and working with others (thanks Shivani and Andipandi) to come up with funny slogans. The ad campaign for Why Not Vintage is based around the name of the shop "Why not...?" and it correlates with images on the collage. It brings a question about going back and preserving goods that have proved their quality and are still fashionable to this day. I keep thinking about the message Eunice Walker, the owner wants to convey, a form of preserving and renewing.

In response to Sarah's comment - I juxtaposed the images as I felt were cohesive to each other. I did attempt to connect each images to make perfect sense, but collage leaves the spectator to their own interpretation. I have sacrificed a direct meaning in pictures for a visually aesthetic one. So you like Velvet and Plaid ? This pulls the spectator back to a focus. This image mainly represents antique furniture and jewelry. I didn't want to stray so far from what she collects. I want to keep that focus on Vintage clothing, Antique furniture, and Jewelry with each separated across three ads.I am still reworking the body type...
