Put Your Judge's Hats On

Sat Aug 1, 2009, 2:43 PM

I've just finished a series of adverts for the company I work for, East Wind. It's two little shops in Ottawa, Ontario, that sell a wide variety of all things Asian. My bosses aren't tip top when it comes to advertising their store, and frequently misspell or employ bad grammar in their ads. So, as a favour to them I've taken a couple hundred photos of the place and blended the best couple dozen into a series of nine adverts.

You don't have to help me judge them, but I thought all y'all could have fun letting me know which ones you like the best, or worst, or whatever pointers you might want to pass my way.

Thank you for the thought-provoking, inventive, impacting design.

It reminded me of a project I outlined a long time ago and forgot about. Until now.

Not a problem. Your work is uniformly good and cool so I try to save my favourites for the truly outstanding pieces (in my opinion).
