Sell Us A Rock Ad.

Description

This project was given to us as a final exam for Graphic Design class. The idea of this project being that if you can sell somebody a rock (that is, something with no intrinsic value) then you can sell them anything.

One of the first things you are taught in design is that things are defined by their environment. Knowing that, I thought that the best way to sell a rock is to put it in an environment that makes it appear important. I chose this particular setting to place the rock, because I felt like it made the rocks look elegant and it also made them look like they had value. I also felt that the composition drew further attention to the ad and the subject matter. Something with such extreme tension has much more attention grabbing qualities than if the frame were simply placed in the middle of the composition.

The tag line further pulls together the visual-verbal synergy. "Own A Piece of Perfection" which implies to the viewer that nature is perfect and by owning this rock you yourself would be owning a piece of perfection.
