Foreign Design - Mar. 29

This design appears to be a French design. While I can't read the full design, the function of the ad appears to be showing someone being strangled by businessmen, likely referring to mail in the mailboxes he is by. I really like the photography and overall visuals in this ad. It has a very cinematic feel to it, and looks almost like it would be a movie cover or poster. The metaphor behind the design might be to show the man being consumed by advertisements and sales pitches from the mail, which is something that is common to everyone. People are always trying to sell us things, and the artist does a good job of showing that with the design. I feel as though he does a good enough job of sending the message across, that you don't even need to be able to read the text.
