This week I ran into this extremely sexist ad online. It was part of a slideshow compiled by CNN on crappy ads used in the past. I think it was titled "What Were We Thinking." What really attracted me to this ad was how blunt it was. We still have sexist ads nowadays but they are played off as a joke, and not nearly as straight to the point as this one. Another shocker was the patron of the ad, Kellogg's! They are supposed to be a moral, family oriented company nowadays. What is crazier is that the ad is meant for woman. It's supposed to convince women that if they take these vitamins and clean more, they will become more attractive to their husbands. Well I couldn't determine what the font is, probably because its hand-drawn. I also noticed the underlining which is a huge mistake by current design standards.

This week I added pics of a few tattoos I've done recently. I really enjoy this medium and is the reason I'm seeking an art degree. I constantly turn to tattoo flash and actual tattoo photographs for ideas on projects. The pics were all taken with a cell phone so theres no telling what you'll get in regards to white balance...or anything else for that matter. Thats all I have for this week. Thanks for stopping by.

I ran into this ad online this week . This ad promotes the brands car part affordability. Assuring you that it is easy and affordable to fix your car after your wife wrecks it, because "women hit things." Besides being extremely sexist, I liked the composition. It has a really strong grid. I also like that the bottom box with the text is just about the same height as the negative space above the car. I tried finding out what typeface this was but had no luck.
