Well this has been going on for a while, and I chose not to say anything (and you're not the only one), but these are supposed to be advertisements. And some people are making posters. Never having taken an advertisement class, I think the difference is that yours might sell to someone who might already have the game. There's no information on there aside from who makes it and what it's called. That's why in the first post I originally asked people to put the platform it can be found on. Others have put websites on there.
EDIT: Actually, looking back, your "Fight or Flight" Mirror's Edge one is probably my favorite of yours. Looks nice, the font isn't distracting (it works with the ad), and it does look like an ad. It still has a few problems, namely the text being crammed in at the bottom, but otherwise it was one of my favorite ME ads.
I see what you mean.
If you think it will help I can edit mine with the platform logos. For some of my other adds i was looking at it from the view that the dev./publisher wasn't ready to give up all the info. They just wanted to stir up some buzz for the game.( Make GAF piss its pants :lol )
Edit: Thanks for the kudos on the ME add.

Yeah I agree about the logos (guilty myself), but I don't think there's a problem with the wallpaper motifs. I think imagery can sell on its own, devoid of info...or at the very least get people interested.AniHawk said:
Btw, TheGOHN, excellent ad, but Comic Sans is tacky...:lol

If anyone hasn't played, i would strongly recommend looking at the links Akia linked. It sums up the attitude and art style of the game very well. All of the classes have different voices, accents, weapon names, stuff to do, etc.

Oooh, some nice ones already.
I've got a great idea. Hopefully it doesn't get snatched up before I can get it done sometime tomorrow; all the good, obvious ideas usually get burned through pretty quickly!

I think this one is tough because Valve's marketing/advertising has been great. There's not much chance of improving it or doing anything more interesting than they've already created. Anyway, I'd imagine this as a series, with each ad focusing on a different class, and the player pictured would look like/be dressed like that class...

Any particular reason for Ames, IA?mik said:

Yeah. I mean I know this thread is all in good fun, but damn...his work is so nice. Not only that, but it literally looks like actual magazine ads. Great work indeed, and most certainly tag worthy.HK-47 said:

^_^ I know the black-on-orange thing has been done to death, but it was just nicer on the eyes. I love sillouettes.
Orobi said:I think next game to be "ad-ded" by gaf must be Killzone 2... I just watched the "not official" TV spot for Super Bowl and I believe it's not very good.
We must give to Sony marketing some great ideas!!!
Yeah. The music really does a lot to hurt that concept. And the concept is pretty shaky to begin with. It needs to be used with something goofier and silly. Not with something shades of dirt.
GAF making propaganda pieces would be a lot of fun.
If this thread is still going, we'll have to do this game sometime before it comes out.

Very cool stuff. Wanting to join in on this one (TF2 is beautifully-designed) but tracking down decent assets is proving a little tricky. Any suggestions?
And on a similar note, does anyone know of an active press login for the NoA press assets site? The ones I've used before (golin/harris; guest/nintendo; crecenteb/rocky (lol)) are all out of use at the mo...
