No amount of grandiose technical skill can mask the derivative and puerile nature of the message with most of this stuff. You can only draw as much out of any work of the imagination than was put into it in the first place.

your one to talk.... I piss with more originality

sort of like the 'artist' who came up with the new logo...by dropping 'bell' and changing it to CTV?...That must have been hard

yeah just like that I opened Word, highlighted Bell and retyped CTV, exactly like that...

Thought so....the fanfare surrounding the 'new design' was typical of the corporate that is CTV.

I'm not sure what you mean about "new design" or about "fanfare", I think we simply just made a switch when we moved from Bell. The corporate splash page is not our brand, nor is it what I work on. Our revised brand image will be launched around september

I've been here for just over two years, so since the change happened, and maybe it was a big deal for people that read press releases, since I don't, I wouldn't know, too many to read.
And what website are you referring to? I don't deal with web, I design for on-air then pass that over to the web/print people.

What I defend is works like this example:

There's no denying it takes a great deal of artistic creativity and skill to create a piece like that. Many of the more thoughtful and talented artists create images that cleverly play with the surroundings, or convey messages. There's a lot more to street/graffiti art than tagging and those standard giant letters that most people associate it with.

that is an amazing piece... any idea who the artist is?

Nothing new there. No different, really, from any other commercial supergraphics or advertising illustration. "Van art", for example:

your too hopelessly one dimensional to ever see it any other way.

These graffiti shows are the equivalent to vanity publishing.
