This American Apparel ad was found by Alex Johns in “an old issue of monocole magazine”. It’s not the typical style and it might be why I like it. But the colors definitely help. It’s one of the more artistic ads I’ve seen from them. Part of me is reminded of some kind of my buddy’s senior art thesis, but that kind of amateurish yet artistic charm is what makes it look appealing. The juxtaposition of colors on the stark white background, as usual, never sees to strike me as elegant, no matter what the content of the ad. Basic, minimalist graphic design, but still gorgeous.
