Color Police


Good Design
This campaign uses the principles of color design well to create a well-designed and affective advertisement. Through the use of a weak harmonious chroma the ad has a sophisticated feel. This sophistication targets “higher end” costumers and also shows the value of the product. The photo also uses many harmonious values, however, the contrasting values in the tires work well to display the product. By using the principles of color design the advertisement creates a sophisticated mood and sells the product well.



Bad Design
In this advertisement, the limited pallet in the background mixed with the harmonious hues in the product; make the vitamin water blend into the background, making for a less affective advertisement. Another bad design decision is that the only contrasting chroma and differing hue is in the dragon, which has little to do with the product itself. The poor use of principles of color design makes the advertisement confusing and ineffective.
