Critique an Actual Ad...

[PDG]

Ok, here's the idea...take a live running ad from any magazine (perferably a good one) and critique it. That way, I can learn from what others see and vice versa. Sound like a good idea? I just thought of this and it sounds like fun! :D

Sounds good to me. :) there are a lot of bad ads out there depending on what magazine you look at :)

Hey, you're absolutely right! We could actually post a poll and put up horrible and good ones. Didn't think of that. ;)

Oh yes! I have seen some monumentally bad jobs out there. Bring them on :)

[TinCupid]

I'm in...

[Silky]

I don't have any magazines so I'll have to rely on you guys to post the ads...but I'm in too! Great idea, PDG!

Don't worry, I have 2 year's free subscriptions to Stuff and Maxim. And some good ones to PRINT and HOW. I'll make sure to post the good with the bad :)

[Scott]

I'm always amazed at the crap in Print and HOW.. after all consider the market :)

That's a good point. It's like having a hollywood actress go out and pimp herself for $20 per night to pay the cable bill. Oh wait...those are called endorsements.

I like it, PDG - great idea!

I know I shouldn't be so snobbish, especially as I'm not the world's greatest PS artist but this could extend to some of the Camera magazines' tutorials too.

Damn! I used to collect all the scans from Playboy, but the guy never scanned the ads :( LOL

I don't have a scanner either.

Talking of ads have any of you seen the current KFC ad with all those guys dressed up in .... ..... ..... ((5,4,4) fill in the missing words)
