Take the first ad for example… You know its Clockwork “Orange”. CMYK is a printing format and stands for cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (K). For example C: 0 M: 60 Y:90 K:0 = Orange.
Same with the second and third…. Litlle RED riding hood, and Pink PANTHER. Hope this explains it for you.
This IS hit-and-run for their target audience. It’s a paper company’s advertising for placement in graphic arts professionals’ magazines. People like us see this and immediately get the joke.
That’s what makes this so perfect — it’s an industry in-joke and catches your attention with its presentation and focus. Damn good ads.
I designed these ads. Pretty flatering that there’s a blog about them. I was just googling the clockwork orange and these came up. I’m psyched. Thanx for all the awesome feedback.

At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately he began paying her court and flattering her outrageously. The girl liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback by his fast and ardent pitch. She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.
“Look,” she said. “We only met a half hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each other.”
“You’re wrong,” the young man declared. “For the past 5 years I’ve been working in the bank where your father has his account.”

there’s more cool print stuff, and commercials and what not, when you peruse through the site.
our official school site has cool student work (some used by the clients), if you’re REALLY interested.

clever, require too much thinking, advertising should be about hit and run, not a glass of scotch, a cygar and deliberation
