'I Never Forget a Face, But In Your Case I'll Be Glad To Make an Exception.'



This project provided me with the opportunity to develop a resolved proposal for an experimental design artefact. The proposal will describe how my use of graphic design can visually communicate a critical point of view on an aspect of the expectations, conventions, protocols and parameters of a selected design artefact, or an established convention concerning design.

The object I chose to market/advertise was a Marx Brothers lamp, which has been within the family for many years. The advertisement requires you (the audience) to interpret the images as you see them. The theme is nostalgia, as the proposed advertisement was designed to evoke memories from the past with the use of comedy and bold images.

Each celebrity (mainly around the earlier parts of 1920) has been illustrated on to represent each characteristic of each of the three Marx Brothers.
