This is what agencies mean when they ask, “What’s the BIG Idea?”

Or, as most people call it, the USP. The thing that really sets you apart from all other advertising in your category.

A simple idea that makes a huge impact. This reminds me of the TAP Project - taking an important cause - like clean water for underprivileged countries, and doing something as simple as charging $1 for Tap water in big city restaurants to fund raise.

This print ad by JWT draws attention to the very important worldly issue of malaria. It’s easier to draw attention to something with big flashy images, glamorous celebrity endorsements, or using new forms of media like social media and cell phone apps.

It takes a truly talented group of people to go back to a basic medium of print advertising and use a bold, but small image to create a greater impact than flashy ads ever could. JWT also used a political dialect to grab the readers’ attention and guide their focus to an issue that should hold an equal importance to war casualties. I really hope this campaign not only gets the credit it deserves in the Ad World, but also gets as many people as possible to swim for the cause.

The Wounded Knee Massacre: 120th Anniversary

The Sand Creek Massacre and the Washita Massacre both led to the Wounded Knee Massacre. The Sand Creek Massacre brought the realization that “the soldiers were destroying everything Cheyenne - the land, the buffalo, and the people themselves,” and the Washita Massacre added even more genocidal evidence to those facts.

The Sand Creek Massacre caused the Cheyenne to put away their old grievances with the Sioux and join them in defending their lives against the U.S. extermination policy.

The Washita Massacre did that even more so. After putting the Wounded Knee Massacre briefly into historical perspective, we’ll focus solely on the Wounded Knee Massacre itself for the 120th Anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre…

The Real Django:

This is the actual man on which the movie D’Jango is loosely based. His name is Dangerfield Newby, and he was a member of the John Brown party. It is conjectured that he joined to save his wife Harriet and children who were being held as slaves; however, their owner refused to sell them to Newby.

Their love story was very real, and you all should check out their narrative and love letters.

My poster design has a sibling! Derogatory use of the term “retarded” is every bit as harmful as that of “gay”, and it deserves just as much to be replaced with more accurate, less harmful vocabulary. Plus, y’know, they look cute side by side.

They’re both now available here!
