We were just getting prepared for the FITC 2009 tradeshow and came across our ad from last year. Last year's FITC theme was "Break it". The FITC group suggested to advertisers to try and make ads that worked within the theme. We love a challenge, so took it on!
Our ad/concept was "IT'S FREE....THE INTERNET IS NOT BROKEN.... IT'S JUST CONFUSED... .TRUST ME". We came up with this tag line because we figured nobody gives anything away for free these days... We were giving away 500 Royalty Free stock images away. Yea... look at us now! We are at 2,000 free images. The INTERNET is not broken it is REALLY SCREWED UP. Why give 2000 Royalty Free stock elements away.... Why not! We want your love so we gotta share the love! (Wait that is this year's campaign)
This wicked ad for Stock-Archive.com was a great collaboration project we did with our amazing Algonquin College Coop students of 2008 which consisted of Steve Capyk, Joulian Tavalloli, Zach Flaman, Priyanka Singh, and Sahil Khanna. We asked them all to build some vector line art for our stock collection as part of their first week of coop placement. The day after they submitted their examples we put together an ad that was a mix of all the elements they provided. Each of these individual elements will be available on the Stock Archive site once we launch. This was a great example of working as a team and putting a mixture of styles together to make one amazing looking piece.
We are all big fans of Algonquin College as the entire staff that works at www.Stock-Archive.com
graduated from Algonquin. We don't have last years algonquin college website handy but we figured we'd give some support to the Design Grads of 09. Check out their work. From what I've seen it is pretty amazing. Some good potential employees here if you are looking. www.redhanded09.com
