Swanson ad stacks up nicely

Did you spot this one from Swanson during the holidays? This full color, full page ran in major metros across the country, touting Swanson's as an essential ingredient for the holiday meal.

I like this ad for the creative design, the unusual image of platter of turkey, topped with all the fixins, creating a most unexpected shape. It puts all eyes on the sturdy can of broth at the base.

Hold the MSG, this is 100% natural broth!

Artsy ad for Tlingit glass creations

What a winner from the Museum of Glass in Tacoma.

Designers used a photo to play up a piece created by Preston Singletary to show museum visitors a sample of what's in store when they tour his Echoes, Fire and Shadows, now through September 19.

The fonts, shades and colors balance the bold and simple look.

The ad copy includes plenty of particulars but misses the point that was instantly clear with a visit to the museum's website--- Preston magically mixes his Tlingit ancestry with dynamic studio glass moves.

Sell the sizzle.
