Glasses - Fake Ad

C&C2

This is an advertisement for sunglasses that I created for an assignment.

Here is an explanation of the entire ad:

I chose to photograph sunglasses for this assignment, although when I went to buy a pair, I couldn't decide between two colours - so I bought both. When figuring out how I'm going to place the glasses together to be photographed, I noticed that they form the shape of an eye when they overlap. I made the glasses look like this using one piece of tape. Because the glasses formed the shape of an eye, I decided to use the shape to make a company logo. After I created the logo, I realized it looked like two letter C's wrapping around a circle. I used that to create the company name, C & C, Cain & Clarence Eyewear. I wanted to add a question or statement to my ad, so I came up with "What do you see?" in regards to the illusion of shape in my ad, as well as how sunglasses change the way you view things. I changed the word "see" to "C" so that it compliments the use of the company name. I also changed the layout of the question to appear like an eye exam, although reversed so that the letter C is the biggest.

I hope you like it.

I love how the sunglasses make the shape of an eye! Very cool. I like the overall feel of the ad, too. It's clean and simple, but with great ideas behind it.

Hehe, you combined the names of two villains from the two first RoboCop movies: the drug lord Cain and the crime lord Clarence Boddicker.
