Hi, i am a graphic designer in advertising agency here in Amman, This site comes as a reaction for what I really think is bad advertising followed by ugly and poor graphic design, I really believe that Jordan deserves mature advertising something that respect the audience intelligence, something similar to what we see in the first world countries, so In this site I will post a daily cases to be open for live constructive criticism, so please don’t hesitate to send me anything that is really bad and worth to talk about, hopefully things will get better soon

 thanks for all

    hi rage, first, while you want to critisize you should have the experience to do!! your web page says that you are just a small junior designer (If you did it), ugly design, bad colors and theme..

    thx :)

    People I am not a design guru :)
    I just feel so bad every time I open the daily newspaper and see all these shity ads around!
    I believe that each one of you guys feels the same, so this site comes as a reaction for what is bad, if any one of you have something (ads, suggestions etc..) Please share with me so i can post it to be open for live criticism, who knows it might be one of my ads :)

    One last thing specially for you Hadi, your posts are only welcome if they serve the main subject here which is (advertising in Jordan) if not then your posts are not welcome at all..

    Thanks for all .

    Hey Ziad,

    If u have this feeling from now and you start to criticize everything u see i think u will never grow first start of yourself. Do good job and finish finalising the work load u have then come aboard dude.

    I wonder what kind of layouts you do there in Amman, because u talk too much i doubt that you finish jobs as your team leader want.

    one advice dude learn how to handle a brief then come and give us your comments.

    Again good luck with this crap!!!!!

    And good luck fow creative people in Jordan…..

    Sorry Rage, like the idea of your blog but if the above creative is any indication of what you can do then you have absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

    Your critisims are not valid.

  10. restless said:

    Hi Peter,
    First of all let me thank you for your input, second do you think that you can judge my Design or creative abilities from the above ! And you are the expert here , I really don’t think so stay cool man,

    Who ever is behind this blog is crazy. Crazy in the since of being smart and brave enough to critisize the creative of other internation well know agencies.

    I’m really ashme to see not just this ad but all of the ads in Jordan that are just copy - paste ads from different countries.

    Why? I have lived half of my life outside of Jordan and 60% of the ads we see in Jordan are dupilcate.

    Thanks who is behind this blog …

    Keep on the good job.

    MAYBE ,,,,, the level of creativity might improve when they see this blog …………………………….

    If you want to have any credibility as a judge of advertising you need to show us your credentials.

    We need to see at least 6 ads (not design stuff) that you have created.

    Other people have asked you for this but for some reason you keep resisting.

    I can only think you have either nothing to show or you’re to embarrased to show them.

  13. restless said:

    Hi Again,
    First of all I am not a judge this is just my personal opinions so you can agree or disagree, and if I wanted to share my credentials here I would have not called my self restless!

    thanks

  14. creative rules said:

    Obviously you have nothing to show.

    You should change your user name to usless.

  15. restless4 said:

    Hi Mr.Restless;
