Bang My Head Upon The Fault Line

It’s been a while since I posted any designs on here (or anything at all.) So, a brief tale of half-assing an advertisement.

I was dreading preparing this ad. My fear: rainbows. I hate rainbows. Hate ‘em. Big bright screaming primary colors, clamoring for your attention. So fuckin’ gaudy. So, of course, the prompt for this ad: make it rainbowy.

Sigh.

For the supposed taste and class and inborn design gay people are supposed to have, the choice of the rainbow as the symbol of the community strikes me as extraordinarily odd. Couldn’t we have gone with, I dunno, a nice λ? Then we could have all sorts of punny jokes related to wavelength. “Hey, I think we’re on the same frequency.”

Anyway.

A friend of my had a good suggestion: “Zwan had a cool rainbow design.” And, by god, they did. So, I did was all great artists do: steal.

The results? Not bad:

I think I managed to make it look decent. Certainly, as far as rainbow-laden designs go, it’s good. Sure, I also ripped off some Apple ads, but hey, who doesn’t nowadays?
