Favorites: Print ads, Series 3

Great colors from Banana Republic:

This doens't translate as well on-screen, but it's a close-up of the texture of a Cole Haan purse:

I like all of Lacoste's flying people ads - but this one of the company founder is the best:

I not only fly with Donald Pliner, I like his ads, too.  The shoes are hideos, but the ad is well-done.

For the Ralph Lauren ad below (one page of a two-page spread), the same as above.... don't like the purse, but the ad definitely catches my eye.

The small scale of this Vera Wang ad image doesn't do it justice - it's a beautiful muted palatte:

Almost tacky, but colorful and eye-catching!  Dog food from Cesar:

This Natural cosmetics ad gets the Close But No Cigar award - great concept but it doesn't quite come together.  The text color and layout don't mix well:

Jones New York....  colors: ick!  and the model looks like a mannequin:

It's tough to create a good ad with an ugly product - toilets have the problem as well.  Although this ad tries admirably, I still hate Crocs and this ad even admits how hideous they are:  "It's hard to believe the parents were ugly..."
