What is Minimalist in a Complex Print ads?

Most ads usually don't make sense for people that seek not the sense within the ad. In advertising creatives hunt for the effectiveness of their ideas in order to send a message in the most simplest means, the complexity roll up when one has to find a method of making various aspect of the ad word together to send out one message.

Print ads don't have anybody to speak for them so as much important as it is to convey a particular message they need to speak for themselves. It becomes a vital focus to draw up a concept that will carry out the whole image and message, one out of various of the aspect that make up the ad needs to play as the harmonious area, which draws attention and also splits it to a variety of features within the ad, the unity brought in by that particular element then associates the similarities and characteristics to finding its main goal.


I have provided some ads that captured my attention as I tried to figure out what is complex about Minimalism.

A species in rapid decline, the African penguin needs help. South African advertising agency Bittersuite and SANCOOB

SANCCOB_2014

Basic colours were used to create the ad, what is minimalist about this ad is the upper row of penguins, after looking at the top raw I was interested in what is going on with the whole ad to the last penguin I then understood the concept of the whole ad. The shape that the all the penguin form contains everything reinforcing the movement created by the rhythm and repetition, the way the art work is structures is created implied lines and shapes.
The colors of the whole also stresses the point of the ad, White plays a role of life and Black plays the role of death in which the species are fading into. Minimalism in just two basic colours an awareness campaign made an impact, and making an impact means understanding and seeking for more Information.

Creative Brand Marketing

Creative: to encompass an aptitude power to create surface ideas characterized by originality and expressiveness.
Imagination (the process of forming images in the mind but cannot be seen) is a basic element of creativity. Creativity is the occurrence of an innovative valuable creation.
All points that emerge in defining the term creative, its evident that one cannot be designer if they are not creative. Originality follows the law of copyright, all creative people have the ability to be original, therefore the law of copyright applies to those who cannot realize the importance of originality and the effort that is invested in creative innovative concepts. When ideas arise the process of imagination transpire when a creative visualizes what and how the idea can become an effective design tool, when the visual image appeals then comes the end product through innovative various approaches.

Brand: a mark, symbol, name or any other aspect that can be used to identify or distinguish one product or services from the competitive establishments.
A range number of establishments provide the same services and products but how they are presented vary according to how each of the establishment would prefer to represent their business to the consumers. Symbol (an object that presents, stand for or suggests an idea, visual image, belief, action or material entity) that stands for a visual image, an action plan requires innovative ideas with focus amendments, meaning an original idea needs to go through the process of evaluation, criticism and be analysed. A creative's basic idea has never been prosperous if it had not been refined with elements that leave if appealing to the public. In order for the creative to be better understood and serve its purpose the creative person need to have done research on that particular brand.

Marketing: the methodology of communicating the value of a product or services to consumers for the purposes of selling. Communication is the process of sending and receiving messages or exchanging  information, Communication has various categories in which people can use but in the creative industry only three out of four most used communication categories are effectively utilized

  • Verbal Communication: Creative  verbal communication is sharing information through the use of Speech, this type of communication in marketing requires effective strategy, and most importantly simplicity because it needs to be convincing and on point, the message from the service provider needs to be delivered apparently first hand, key messages must be developed in order to reach out to a specific target market.
Oral communication which is the spoken word, because now convincing falls under all types of communication that is for the purposes of bringing awareness to the public about an organisation or their offering, when one tries to convince another through a voice then the voice need to suite and be associated with its representation, every industry has a voice in which the public can easily relate. The volume, speech, use of phrases, pitch and speed gives the listener confidence on you and it leaves them thinking you know what you are talking about and you understand it well.

The woman in this ad speaks with a high pitch voice that sounds professional and intelligent, with this type of an ad the view or the listener already can imagine what type of lady she is, she can classified by only her voice.


  • None Verbal Communication: messages that are sent and received wordlessly, written communication provides as a creative's tool to encourage the public of a positive response requires unadorned type of messaging that get catches their attention, through sms, brochures, posters, email etc. This adds as a visual communication strategy that any designer can use to create a platform for the public to understand or be anxious to learn more about the products and services they are being offered.

The ad is a three worded ad, that has various visual represented products that are offered by one company, from a distance I would understand that coca-cola offers all the products on the ad, the message simple accurate for people who normally have time to read clearly and understand. Image reveal one of the most significant creative brand communication tool, which is visual communication, images are represented to avoid endless written material that explain the product, an image contributes in simplifying the content that is supposed to be sent out and keeping it as brief as possible in a creative manner.

Colour has been used to contrast the elements within the images, providing a reasonable amount of visual balance that allows the eye to recognize every elements within the image as important, even in the lines created by the negative and positive space, the space within the image exhort variety of aspects emphasizing different qualities that create an effective visual appearance, the features subsequently depicting repetition.

Both this communication methods have areas in marketing in which they are effective and non effective. On a business deal a client would be keen to know all the details about a product or organisation they are about to invest in, yet a normal person will not have the time to study a poster in order to be keen to want to buy a product. On television, Radio and other mediums that require verbal communication one needs to be simple and straight forward even in writing.

Creative Brand Marketing requires a strategic approach which is updated to the best interest of the target audience.
