On/Off.

Salam and Happy Eid to all,

Right! So, went Eid shopping with my sister and entered a shop called Jeans West. 
She started trying on some jeans, while I was seated on the chair besides the changing room handling her different sizes, and so, I noticed this...

While the door was locked, she had her Denim Off

And while the door was unlocked; she had her Denim on, so it was fine to open the door.

Now seriously, how cool is this idea?! I absolutely LOVE IT! Although the production was cheap; it was printed on some home A4 paper and Impact was the font used, but who cares right now!? I'm fascinated by the idea and the way it was delivered; simple, clear, creative. 


Sometimes you don't need all the extra graphics and bits. Using your guideline's colours with some simple smart copy, makes a great attention grabbing design. 


Enough said. This made my day. I'm happy!


With design, SF.

    That is awesome! Love it. Saw a fitting room with three hooks with Yes, No and Maybe on recently - I'm going to fit my next branch out with it. And I totally agree about cool, clever design not having to cost the earth - it just takes a bit of wit to stand out from the crowd.

3aib.

It's a shame (3aib) when a college of  design  (and other majors including English) produces such booklet to showcase their portfolio, facilities, courses and programmes. Lets go through it before I start talking in details. It took me almost 3 weeks to blog this specific booklet out of my chest. Every time I sit infront of my laptop trying to put my river of thoughts into words; my hands shiver, smoke comes out of ears and my face turns into a red balloon filled with anger and frustration ready to explode! Maybe because it isn't only about this booklet, but its the whole experience, from landing a foot on the college grounds to running back to my car. The experience also has to do with the college's dean who asked me - when I went to apply for a job as a Typography teacher - he asked "What do you mean by Typography?" (!!!)  I felt like a bucket of cold water got poured over my head . I instantly thought to my self "Is this really where I want to work?...

Frog legs!

Alright. Just to let everyone know that I dont look for bad ads to critisize them, but I also look for the good ones to give them some credit. However, the bad ones seem to stand out a bit more than any others. Maybe coz they're just BAD. This is an ad for Hayyak (prepaid phone credit) from Omantel. To be promoted during the Muscat Festival 2011. Lets start with the goods. Love the simplicity of the msg and font. I like how they put a hint of the festival at the back, no clutter, clear blue sky no clouds and a well styled up model. Festival = youth = jeans and jumper that match the climate at this time. Moving along.. Now as soon as I saw this ad, my direct attention was to the frog legs! Isn't his jump weird?! I'm sure they took several shots prior to "frog legs" stage. Aren't there any better ones like the ones below? Something with more of a happy, dance, side shot jump? Something more attractive with closed legs?!! ...

It's time for CHANGE.

Okay. So I haven't ever written a blog before, but now I have the urge to put my blunt opinion out there for people to wake up and think out of the box. We have enough "firework" ads and "happy families" ads. We have enough 10,000 colour logo! Since my opinions are never heard, nor appreciated, and often trashed in Oman coz "the client asked for it" or "the client paid for it", I've decided to start a blog in my field of expertise; graphic design and advertising and say it ALL here. I will look for ads and designs in Oman that in my opinion could be done so much better and sell the product better too. I will critique advertisements in Oman and most probably logos. I think Oman has a long way ahead of it to reach Dubai or Bahrain in design. I heard that Oman is lacking 20 years behind Dubai in advertising and 10 years behind Bahrain. The good thing though, is that we are 10 years ahead of Yamen! Bismilla... Lets start... and PLEASE d...
