I haven't seen this sort of design drawing before --with the walls elevated and transparent-- but I like it. What's with the offset-print colorspot? |

The diagram is improvised... it's vaguely axionometric, but I don't think I've ever seen it before either. A lot of work went in to making it easy to parse visually, which is why there aren't any hard lines to denote wall or ceiling borders. As for the color splat, it's a lame first attempt at a symbol for the Media Lounge in the ads... it takes about ten seconds to make with Photoshop. I'm glad it's there, though, since the ad is pretty gray without it. |

... and since you wouldn't let me put that printer to it's only truly good use (defenestration), you'd damned well better keep printing color ads on it. |

sprice:
well, if you want color you could use color to indicate height differences between objects... bwahahahaha! I think the choice not to put hard lines at the edges of the walls is a good one. If you're looking at the walls, you can easily place the edges because the floor and ceiling borders aren't too far apart; if you're looking at the floor plan itself, though, the lack of lines lets your eye fuzz out the grey area and ignore it. So you put this diagram together yourself, or just did the elevation part from an existing plan? have there been any further ads, btw? |

Only one-upping Tom as this is not only publicly accessible but also publicly linked from his SCCS web site:
http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/02/tss/Ads/
Neither of these have been posted yet, though. Tom hasn't been in the Swarthmore area since he created those images, as near as I can figure.
This isn't the first SCCS advertising campaign Tom's done design stuff for, but I don't remember where the other stuff lives. Perhaps he could tell you. |
