So here's an ad for The Pike Brewing Company in Seattle... It features Pike Kilt Lifter and the tagline "take a peak at Pike's" (get it?!?). Anyways, much thanks to James and Corey!

My Take on a Flickr ad

Paschal Ssemaganda — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:56:28 -0400

Since I became a flickr member I have marveled at the company's ability to grow its community with little obvious advertising on the web or elsewhere.
This is one of the reasons Flickr is a necessary case study for anyone attempting to create a web community.

For this ad, I used one of my own images and a generous helping of Flickr's corporate identity.
(Please don't sue me)

As usual, my focus is on copy here so I took my inspiration from the classic VW Ads by DDB from the 60s and 70s. The big image with the logo, placed to imitate Flickr's home page. Naturally, I had to big up my own work, but the attribution is standard.

Flickr is unlikely to take out a full page ad (in a magazine no less) so I have cropped the image to look as much like a polaroid as possible.

This might work for a newsletter of a web announcement where the copy discusses new features or recognizes the community or something like that.

Emergency Prepardness Week

This is the first of two ads for Vancouver's Emergency Prepardeness Week. The premise is that our hero is wearing a life jacket in any situation,in this case high fashion, even though it may be comical, because there is nothing silly about being prepared.
