Branding Bovines

Filed under: Side Stitch — Burt Durand @ 2:14 pm

For this episode of Side Stitch, I chose to explore the wide-open pastures of advertising. Bovine advertising, that is. Below are some ads and environmental graphics that a design/ad agency run by cattle could hypothetically produce.

Now, I’m particularly proud of the Mad Cows bit at the end. I’ll spare you additional bovine puns, but I will let you know that I had had a few more mock ads that didn’t make the cut.

My second Side Stitch comic illustrates the hazards of bad typography. Please be sure to kern all words carefully, lest a giant gorilla be thrown into a destructive design-rage.
