breasts, tattoos and lawyers: a retrospective

Back in May, we featured the first of our random work updates. Part exhibitionism, part catharsis, it's a chance for us to show you (well, you, in the plural sense, being collective members of the Erie-blogging community) what we actually do for a living. And what we're proud to call our very own.

Last time, we featured the first in a series of newspaper ads for Dr. Gunnar Bergqvist, the local plastic surgeon. As pictured here:

As you can see, this ad deals with breast cancer and the positive outcomes associated with reconstructive plastic surgery. Not quite your typical superficial nip/tuck fare. But then again, Gunnar's not your typical plastic surgeon. Below, you'll find subsequent ads that have run in the series so far. You'll also find a billboard execution that many of you have probably rubbernecked on your way across town. (Sorry 'bout the printer's marks on some of these...)


And for all of you Bayfront Highway travelers, here's to discovering New Hope... and hopefully a commute home without any lane closures and/or significant construction delays.

Here are some print ads that aren't necessarily new, let's consider them new-ish, for the law firm of MacDonald, Illig, Jones & Britton LLP. There's actually a whole slew of these, but since they've only run in the Manufacturers' Association business magazine, I figured most of you haven't seen them. Then again, I could be wrong.



There's a bunch more stuff, but I need to get back to work. C-ya!

Wow!! What was the thought behind making the law firm's ads so ... sensual (to put it politely)? If I were a fat, ugly business woman (or maybe even an average looking/weighing woman) I might feel a bit put off by these ads . . . But I suppose women aren't really the market these ads are geared toward. Hope it's worked out for them.

As a plump businesswoman,one gets used to corporate advertising using skinny beautiful models. In reality in all organisations you'll find its share of intelligent successful businesswomen who are overweight yet play a major role in the organisation.
