so r alienware shit anygood?...

detox · 29-09-2006, 19:00

I dunno, the ad was designed on a G5 Powermac

But we do use some Alienware machines at the agency I work for. They're mostly used for video editing and such and the designer's have no complaints. I personally would never use a PC just b/c of Windows. Personal preferance.

thats fine... i've been waiting for the merom macbook pro and have the money burning through my pocket... and as it seems they won't be out till next yr i was just wondering about alienware... not really considering though......

Interesting. The new Alienware campaign reminds me of a song my band wrote several years ago.

nice work btw

Nice.

architect · 29-09-2006, 21:08

I think you can still play up the glow using multiple hues of blue, and maybe use a swirl effect (like a twister) so it looks like the elements are 'busting' out of the machine. Right now it looks like they are happily humming around (if that's what you intended then kudos). Also the text treatment, though appropriate for this market, can be made easier to read as well... remember when people read mags, you need straight up stopping power to get them to see your ads! Over all nice work.

thanks for the comments.

poppinphresh · 30-09-2006, 00:06

Very nice, agree with architect though. It seems as if they're just floating in front of the screen.

detox · 03-10-2006, 00:48

Thx for the comments. Should have some more ads to post soon.

pgo · 03-10-2006, 01:15

I dig it. Very appropriate to the subject/brand. And purty to boot.

lukasarts · 03-10-2006, 04:28

Not bad- not sure about the 'come out and play' text positioning; it looks a little orphaned from the rest of the piece. But as pgo says, it's appropriate to the Alienware brand.

Alexanda · 03-10-2006, 05:55

is alienware for computer geeks?

Scott · 03-10-2006, 07:15

no they just have over the top specs. Pretty much max out everything.

destill · 03-10-2006, 07:18

composition of all those elements could be improved abit, its still works well tho.

jase1000 · 03-10-2006, 07:23

Looks like what you would expect from one of these adds but there seems a bit of a mish-mash of styles. The medival text doesn't really go with the area51 style alien. Also, as was said above, the composition feels off.

Technically impressive though.

Alexanda · 03-10-2006, 07:37

the only reason i was asking is because of the pictures of aliens, black letter typeface and the fact they call the computer area 51.

detox · 03-10-2006, 11:32

The reason for the medievil text is that it's part of the actual COAP campaign the agency I work for developed for AW.

Accurate · 03-10-2006, 11:38

Nice. The title doesn't work for me though... it seems to appear mis-aligned, possible too much black space around it.. but thats just me.
