barebones communication

Waiting Time

Here is another notebook brief for you. Comes in handy when I don’t have ready time to do more lengthy posts. 

Do you find that this photograph carries a strong and simple message? I do, but you don’t have to agree, of course. But if you do, what then are the semiological or other barebones tools, that carries this message thought? How do you explain the impact in terms of these tools?

Shot at Pierre Lachaise, Paris, France, some years ago. 

Stay alive. Good luck with it.

SAS Commercial: Soft Speaking Excellence.

Yes, this is yet another eminent Danish commercial. Advertiser is SAS (Scandinavian Airlines System) casting the former Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Uffe Ellemann-Jensen. Soon up for review on barebones. At the moment I am waiting for SAS to give me permission to use one, or more, screen shots from this excellent commercial.

You can start viewing the commercial at SAS’ home page. Or take a look at the extended version  at the same site.

Music: “Bibo No Aozora” af Ryuichi Sakamoto.
