Ebony Magainze: Sade



The best advertisement for magazines: their magazine covers. This one is sensational.

The dark font and dark background combined with Sade's dark hair and light skin complexion definitely makes this cover stand out on the screen...and undoubtedly on the newstands too.

"Run Through The Wall" by Nike





This literally made me gasp when I saw it.

Excellent use of architecture to draw attention to the brand name.

Thanks to The Relax for this post.

Good thought. Bad Execution??



Back in 2001 Macy Grey promoted her new album in an extremely "high visibility" area.

It's a good thought, but it may be done in poor taste. One thing you don't want to do with advertising is repel the customer.

But you know what they say, "No publicity is bad publicity"
