Happy St Patrick's Day

This St Patrick's Day Guinness Celebrates it's 250th Birthday, in honour of this momentous occasion I have decided to do my blog on this design I found in Google images.

This advertisement depicts this tasty pint of Guinness as having an almost holy aura about it with a spotlight effect and a halo of smoke highlighting the product. Obviously a natural contrast of whites and blacks is very effective, even against the black backdrop you can't miss the fact that it's Guinness.

I think it's a quality use of photographic design it's not over complicated and only says what it needs to because it doesn't have to establish a relationship of recognition since it's already so well known. I like this piece of design because it's effective raising awareness of the event and it's relationship with Guinness and it really caught my eye, most of all I like it because it's about beer.


Happy St Patty's Day and Happy 21st Birthday to my good mate Jarryd Grover.
