This Ward Sutton/New York Times slideshow analyzes the messages underlying the design of current and recent campaign stickers and posters. There's some good, thoughtful stuff here -- plus: funny. www.nytimes.com/slideshow...20071118_OPART_index.html (via Warren Ellis)

Open up the link for the NY Times slide show.. makes some excellent points about design ... some tongue in cheek of course but none the less note worthy..
Just pinged you to this cause IMO it something to take note ..
Yes I pinged Jiminy who is working on our ad.

Oh good.. Ive been out all day so I'm a tad behind on this :P
Interesting, thanks. Where was RP's stuff?
Visualize...Photo as attention getter. Verbalize...Direct, to the point, brief as possible.
All true but what message or more important what IMPRESSION do we want to leave voters with from the ad .. just as the slide show reveals.
True...Remember, a study showed that 90 per cent of viewers did not know WHY they recalled an ad.
Use bright detergent bottle colors, like I was trying to tell you the other day.

LOL but not yellow :P
Exactly! It's the impression that is more important than the actual words
I was wearing a (very) bright yellow long-sleeve t-shirt under my picture of Ron Paul t-shirt today. I was secretly hoping Beck would call me yellow so I could challenge him to a tussle.

I think it depends on the shade of yellow. Bright canary yellow is like a neon light.
