Postcard Dilemma

This is for a project I worked on in Art 413 Advanced Lettering & Typography. I designed 4 postcards front and back. The challenging part about the project was that two languages needed to be incorporated into the design. My concern was how to begin designing the set of postcards and if the information should be an equal amount of both languages. 

My solution was to evenly distribute both languages throughout the design. On the front of each postcard are capital letters V, O, T, E and a word that pertains to the importance of voting(Voice, Oversee, Teach, and Educate)in both languages. On the back is an important message why people should vote. Overall I am pleased with my work but am still deciding on new ways to improve the design. 

Bad Design

There is "A" list advertisement design that you just can't seem to take your eyes off. The design that if properly created can have a positive effect on you and may even influence you in some way. Good advertisement design creates a desire to consume the product being marketed.

There is also the advertisement that makes little or no sense at all. It does the complete opposite and draws you away from the product being advertised. In this ad Colgate is advertising  their line of toothpaste. The only problem is the man in the image has no teeth. I'm guessing it was meant to be humorous, but I could personally say it has discouraged me to purchase their product.
