Barclays Advertising

I saw this Barclays advert on TV - the one with Stephen Merchant and just I thought there was some good use of typography. Its very simple and I like the way the text and its positioning imply what is stated in the phrase - small steps!

Clever button design from Mercedes

I was driving a Mercedes the other day and was re-adjusting the seat for my driving position, and I came across these buttons to control the seat. I just thought that they were a really brilliant piece of design as they were so simple and obvious how to use, unlike some other buttons in modern cars and hi- tech electricals!

At the start of the summer I broke my thumb after having a pretty bad experience on a bucking Bronco style magic carpet at one of the summer balls in Leeds. When I was back at home and waiting for many hours at the hospital for it to be examined and x-rayed I came across this advertising poster for anti- smoking and drinking. I thought it was a great poster and that it used the adverting tool of shocking the viewer very effectively. I thought it managed to get the message across very strongly and played on the fact that a baby is the most precious thing to a parent, and so therefore it would be one of the most persuasive anti smoking/drinking posters there is!
