    9/11- Remembrance Poster


    Lucas Alvarez

    The two columns in the center serve two purposes.
    1. To represent the twin towers
    2. as the pause symbol 

    The billowing smoke in the background represents the emergency
    and chaos of the tragedy on 9/11.

    9/11- Posters



    Good Commercials

    Really clever and funny!

    The treatment of there logo ties really well into there new commercials.
    This commercial doesn't show it off as well as new ones do, but you can see
    the logo treatment all the same.

    Another funny Ad executed well. 

    Bad Commercials


    Zoosk
    seems a little absurd without the funny affect... 

    Esurance Commercial 
    seems a little forced...

    Collection
    Just bad...
